Default Interior square footage for insulation

Anybody recognize this insulation? It is crinkly and noisy as hell. Also seems to do a terrible job at sound deadening. Tired of yelling just to talk to my passengers at freeway speeds. Doing everything I can quiet things. Going with fatmat everywhere, dynapad over the flat area in the rear storage compartment, extra heat insulation in driver and passenger footwells (havnt decided on material)

how much fatmat do I need for the whole interior?

Dont forget to cover the INNER door skins, inner firewall inner dash, storage compartments...you'll be extra-glad you did.



.I used HVAC Reflectix and Heavy Duty siver HVAC tape rather than gluing the sections in place...about 150 sq. ft. ?
It would require a fat piggy bank to cover everything in $$$$-Mat.

Thanks 👍🏼. Good tip on doing the doors. Panels need to come off anyways as the windows could use an adjustment.
Did some reading, it seems like a lot of guys are happy with reflectix, probably using that for driver and passenger floorboards, footwells, and firewall
