Default Dynamat, Brown Bread, Raamat...???

I've decided to go ahead and look into sound deadening my car as much as I can...I'd like to do the trunk, rear panel, and doors. For a 95 Accord Sedan...about how much material would I need? 100 sq ft? More/less?

Who has done this to their car...can you give me some tips and instructions? What tools and stuff would I need...where to stick everything...i'm basically completely new to this stuff...but defintely willing to put the effort into doing it myself.

One last thing, there are a couple brands out there, with Dynamat being the most well known and therefore expensive...how about brown bread, fat mat, raamat...all these...what do people recommend? best value? best performance? longest lasting? Any suggestions would be nice...thanks fellas!

Raammat 60 is a very good value when compared to Dynamat Xtreme. I've never used the others, so I can't say.

They're all pretty much the same in my opinion. I have worked with/installed/sold just about all of them in the past. They all pretty much are designed to do the same thing.

Sounds like you have a really complete install! I'd like to do the same thing, what could you say was the difference before/after? Just some thoughts would be nice. Thanks!

By applying any type of material such as the ones listed so far in the post you are reducting the chances of resonating frequencies. When applied properly and in the correct quantities, they can yield significant results. In alot of cases, it's definitely worth the investment. Just some thoughts based on experience.
