Different people will tell you different things about different sound deadeners. But some facts lie: Do not use asphault-based Sound Deadener. They've been known to melt at above average temperatures and turn into a pool of tar. [Which you don't want]

I believe the most popular ones [Due to the balance of price / performance] is between RAAMmat and eDeadener.

You'll find some cheaper deadener / foot... but it might not be as good. There's also a lot better deadners-- but they're a lot more expensive. That's the average audiophile's choice. Unless they're hardcore into competition. Then they step it up to Dynamat XTreme and Second Skin and the sorts.

But either way, the only tools you'll need is some sort of cleaning solution to clean the metal of all the oils, to allow the deadener to stick, and some people use small rollers. Some people prefer to do it with their hands. Either way, just take your time and breathe. You'll also need some sort of sharp edge to cut the deadener with.

raamat if you have the money (or better), edead v2 if you dont. search for the sound deadener showdown

ok so i dont need the extra stuff on ramaat webiste like the ensolite and spray adhessive or whatever it is

and yes i am on a budget somewhat trying to spend no more than 200 bucks on say all four doors and roof if that is possible if not i will only do front doors and roof or just roof

my roof is horrible vibrates really bad since the subs are facing towards the roof and about 15 inches from the roof

kinda pricy is u ask me only 40sqft for 60 bucks i recall plus the gun to apply

also seems difficult to do liquid deadner rather have actual material to work with

its top quality stuff though. or you could get the damplifier pro from second skin. you dont need the gun to do it just use a paint brush.
