How much soud deadening material?

[1wickd6 10+ year member]

I have little to no knowledge when it comes to "sound deadening" so Im looking for some input from anyone that knows the in and outs.

Im working with an '02 Chevy 2500 crew cab truck and I think Im going to go with Second Skin's "Damplifier Pro", but like I said, I know very little about this stuff and am just going by reviews from this forum primarily.

My question is basically, how much of this will I need to run 1 layer over the entire interior (floorboard, doors (4), behind the rear seat and possibly the headliner)? I say "possibly" regarding the headliner because that is my next question, is covering the headliner a "must" and will doing that area make a substantial difference, or is it just an added bonus that wont matter much??

Any and all input is appreciated, my goal with this is to improve audio sound and eliminate as much outside noise as possible.

Thanks!

In trucks I recommend the doors, back wall, door panels, roof, floor. In that order. Buy as much as you can afford but for a truck like that a shop pack of SS Damp Pro should get it the entire deal done well. (80ft) If that is too much money, then follow the order I mentioned and buy as much as you can afford. you will NOT find a better product than the Damplifier Pro.

And the price reflects that. Only saying that for people on a very tight budget.

You can also check out regular damplifier or Raammat.

Thanks for the replies, I appreciate it!

Not trying to be a cheap skate or cut corners, but is there anywhere has a better deal on the Damplifier Pro other than Second Skin's website?

Get RAAMMat...

I bought 2 rolls for my car and I'll never buy anything else.
