where you want to cover all depends on the setup you have.
sub?majority of boot (floor and sides)
replacement comps?both doors
boot would need panels doing also

ive only ever used dynamat myself but skinz is another popular one.believe it or not b and q do a similar product you can use (isnt as good but if you dont want to fork out as much is ideal)

Use Dynamat Extreme for your panels and if your budget permits then add Dynaliner to the plastic trims and door cards :D

It works very well - just take some time and apply it correctly (no need to over do it and cover every square inch)

Makes a massive difference ;)

i have been looking at second skin and dynamat stuff was gonna do my boot which is tiny, rear 1/4's doors and maybe some lining on the roof like sludge stuff or thin matting just to get rid of the flex in it, nothing to overkill just want a quiet cabin,

couple of people on here have used, marleys roof lining from places like B&Q and focus, meant to be quite good, and only 12pound for a large roll

The flashing tape or Marley stuff is very messy. When it gets hot it starts to go soft and can make a real mess.

As said get yourself some Dynamat Extreme - great stuff and easy to apply with minimal heat.

We used some Skinz today which is distributed through Four - but found it cumbersome and very very heavy by comparison. It needs to be heated to almost burning to maximise its performance. Not very good at all ;)
