Sound Deadener help.....

[got_focus? 10+ year member]

I am wanting to completely cover my car in sound deadener.....so I am looking to you guys to help me out as to what I will need. I will be using 100% Second Skin products. This is going to be an extreme daily driver with competing on weekends. You can see what is going in to my car in my sig below. I drive a 2003 Ford Focus ZX3.

My thoughts -

5 gallons of Spectrum Spray - for hard to reach panels, floor, and firewall

5 gallons of Spectrum Sludge - floor, firewall, and on top of Damp Pro

80 sq ft of Damplifier Pro - doors, panels, roof, and hatch

63 sq ft of Overkill

54 sq ft of Rattle Pad

What do you guys think??? Am I going overkill for a daily??

Dump one of the 5 gallon bucket of Spectrum sound deadening and spend the money on more Damplifier Pro.

Drop on of the Rattle Pads and pick up another sheet of Overkill or Overkill Pro

This is ideal.

Sorry if this is considered thread jacking, but it's the same subject, but I just have a different direction in mind. Here's what I was thinking:

-A layer of RAAMMat all around

-Sludge in addition to RAAMMat where needed (doors and such)

-Medium density neoprene foam all around

-Some lighter foam (probably volara) all around

For the most part, I am not so concerned about vibration in the floorboard, but higher frequency road noise. So I was thinking stay light on the damping for the most part, then use 3/8" or 1/2" total of 2 different foam types, one of them being medium density neoprene or PVC, the other being lighter, such as volara. They'll work at different frequencies, which I think should help.

Car's in my sig

What do you guys think of that?
