Default Sound deadning?

Ive just purchased 100 sq/ft of fat mat sound deadner, and im going to probably purchase some other sound deadnig prods to compliment the fatmat. Is there anyone here who has helped sound proof there vehicle from road noise, and vibration, bc im going to be taking out every piece of my interior, and I want to know what I might me up against. Oh I have a 98 T/A.

I wouldn't put fatmat in my car. It's asphalt based. See http://sounddeadenershowdown.com/

Glad to see this post. I am going to put some in my doors and sail panels. who makes a good deadning material besides dynamat? I was looking at Fatmat also.I am leaning towards the DYNAMAT XTREME SPEAKER KIT since I just need it to put with my front and rear speakers.

Dynamat Extreme and Second Skin are the only good products. Dynamat sucks, Fatmat sucks, Raammat sucks, edead sucks. See previous link.

You can use the cheap crap (well, not the ultra cheap asphalt based stuff, but Raammat and similar) on your floor because the adhesive quality isn't so important, but I'd only use Second Skin (and Extreme if I could somehow get it cheap) on anything else (doors, roof, etc).
