Default How many layers do you guys recommend?

I started sounddeadening my c6 with edead and I'm wondering how many layers I should use for each section? I'm doing the doors, trunk floor, and hatch.

For most locations it is best to stick with one layer. Over the wheel wells and floor boards two is good. But you have to be carefull not to make to make the deadner too thick otherwise the car will not go back together correctly.
