How much sound deadener

[Micomoma]

I'm looking to add new speakers to both the front and rear doors of my 2005 Dodge Ram and I want to use some sound deadener before installing the speakers. Can someone tell me how many square feet of deadener I will need to cover at least the insides of the front doors and just around the speaker locations in the rear.

I'm looking to add a good 6.5" component set in the front and a complimentary 5.25" set in the rear doors. Any advise on deadener and speaker selection would be appreciated.

I have an Alpine HU and an older Memphis 4 channel I plan on utilizing. The sub will have to wait until later (kids.....).

Thanks.

Just measure out the area you want to deaden. Lenght*Width. Doing that should give you a rough estimate for what you need.

as far as the comps. go, it really depends on your budget... if you have the cash i would say some hertz hsk-165's will cost around 250 shipped... and as far as deadener goes i have heard personally, as well as others, have great things to say about raamat, which can be had for 120 a roll which us 62.5 sq. ft... and also if it were me, and these comps were too much, i'd buy them anyway install them then see if i still thought i needed some in the rear...

just my $.02

If you want a quality product and don't mind paying a little more than RAAMat... then Second Skin Audio's Damplifier Pro is the shit! I have 36sqft in my trunk (haven't done the decklid though) and I'm extremely satisfied with how it's performing right now. I plan to order another 20sqft for the trunk lid and rear deck when I get the cash.

RAAMat is still a good quality product though, be it thinner.

Even regular Damplifier is superior and you won't have to spend all that much more...

Damplifier Pro is an absolute beast!
