Best Sound dampening material?
Title says it all. I want to try to quiet down the interior. I am going to start with rear and then go from there.
I was looking at some of the second skin products. Are these any good? Or should I go with the Dynamat Extreme or something else.
Any suggestions will be appreciated!

For the price I went with Brown Bread and am happy with it.
Found it on ebay, forget what I paid but it was much less than any of the other stuff and seems to have great reviews around here.

I have used dynamat in the past, but I hear good reviews on brown bread and that stuff costs less than dynamat

I just did my car last Sat in Dynamat Extreme! LOL. Only takes 12 hrs ... I love the result. Just have to do the rear facia area. I'm thinking about even putting it on the underside (The side that doesn't get too much debris) I heard people say that Dynamat smelled like tar if it got hot, but the installer told me he never had any complaints about the Extreme. I heard Brown Bag was good as well, but I got the DM at cost 
(about $120 for 36 sq.ft) it was cheaper than Brown Bag. Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

Lets not forget RAAMmat 60. Their products in the caraudio forums are very highly respected and for the cost you cant beat it.
It stacks up against Dynamat extreme and costs a fraction of that.
You get 62.5sq ft for $100.
Here are some pics of my trunk area when I did it with RAAMmat.
