How much dynamat is needed for.....
covering the entire cabin on a C3 coupe? I just bought 9- 18"x32" sheets in bulk on ebay. Is that enough to cover the car?
I would think it would be. I hope so...

I think you might have enough. Start with the front end and finish off with the back compartment. If you run short it will be in the least problematic area. I used Reflectix and didn't even worry about the rear compartment area...haven't regretted it yet..and I live in Phoenix.

Cool, thanks bro. I am hoping to cool down and quiet this turd down some inside. I am thinking I might even put a layer across the doors behind the panels if I have enough.
Did you use a roller or just do it by hand?

You'll need a roller to get in all the little complex curves. Plus the added pressure you can add with a roller will help with the stickability of the deadner. I fatmated my dd which is a 2nd altime and i used 200 sq. ft but i used at least 2 layers through the entire car.
You only have 36 sq ft of material. My guess is it wont be enough to cover everywhere. The material goes very very fast. For example just covering the drivers foot well (from firewall to front of seat) is probably 4 ft x 1.5 ft so that would be 6 sq ft right there. Thats not counting the sides of the foot well either, just the floor.

Well I ordered 36' of dynamat yesterday and I couldn't get ahold of the A-hole I ordered it from on ebay. So I went ahead and ordered another 50' from another ebay vendor. Its not dynamat, something called Q-quiet. Looks like the same $hit. Adhesive backed. And it came with a free roller for $90. The dynamat was $130. I will use the dynamat in the front and floor and the cheaper mat in the rear.
I just hope my dynamat gets shipped this week. I am ripping my interior out next week while I am on vaca and I will be PISSED if I don't have the dynamat. Thats like the first thing that has to go back in the car.
