Default How Much Sound Deadner

Next project is sound deadening the car. Yup should have done it when I installed the stereo and had everything apart. I searched and couldn't find an answer to how much it takes to do a C5. Basically most of the interior. I was thinking 120 sq ft of RaamMat BXT and 140 sq ft of Ensolite.

Jeez, should have figured to type that in. Thanks for the info.

Edit: Just typed it in and got 1 post to pop. It did not state in there anywhere on how much is needed for a complete job.

Stuff some house fiberglass insulation (batts) into plastic garbarge bags and stuff them in your 3 rear wells. Low cost, light weight, easy and effective.

Because of the location of the wells, they pickup a lot of tire/road and exhaust noise and amplify it.
