Sound Deadening Question I'm new on the sound deadening mats. I've read a long time ago that one or two mats will deaden sound. All the threads I've seen here have the WHOLE CAR seemingly covered in Dynamat. I'm just trying to make my trunk have less road/exhaust noise. Any advice?
there are several different types of deadener, some are for panel vibration, some are for actual sound blocking, like mass loaded vinyl and jute (the padding under the carpet), guys do the whole car because that is best, there are problem areas you could focus on if budget is an issue but best to do it all.

I'm thinking about one square between the rear tie downs on top of the wheel well hump, and two squares behind the passenger seat backs. Will this work?
Just ordered 100sq ft of . Gunna be a big job but hope to get it done this weekend. Heard nothing but good things from people who sound deaden their cars 
Do you still have the flap that covers the T-Top compartment in the trunk? I've found that the noise is dramatically reduced when that thing is on and shut.
Things are also quieter when there is a body in the trunk.

my brother used that to do his car when we were in high school. smelled like tar in the car, and didnt stick all that well if you didnt heat it up perfectly as you were applying it.

I only did my doors and the sail panel area round the speakers.
The Florida heat did not cause the stuff to sag or fall off. I installed it in August. It was soo hot outside I had to use one of my commercial blower fans to keep myself from melting.
You could always seal the edges with HVAC tape but i didn't.
The Peel & Seal seems to have the best results on the forums I researched on (besides Dynamat and other car specific insulation).
I have Hertz HSK 165's powered by JL HD 600/4 and have zero rattles.
sound dampener Thanks RedDeadG8 and loosecannonzs, I was trying to save some money but dont want to do the job twice. I m going to check out the Peel and Seal and hopefully save some money.
