The best one is Mike Mercury's Tech Tip located at http://mikemercury.home.att.net/sound.htm
It is complete with pictures.
Within it is a link to Evil Twin's tutorial on insulating the rear wheel wells, also with pictures.

Jack, did you ever do the front wheel wells? I did one Saturday, but I don't see much that can be done. You have to remove a cover plate type thing just behind the wheel, but there's very little area that can be insulated without everything getting wet. It's all pretty much open to the outside. Also, there are lots of 'things' there that probably don't need covering up. I put some in the space, but I may wind up taking it out if it gets saturated.
Did you ever do the cabin? I haven't yet.

There is no adhesive on Reflectix, so if you want it to stick, you'd either have to tape or spray, or use some other method. I haven't tried, but I would think it would stay in place on horizontal surfaces underneath the carpet without any at all.
Frost King is meant to insulate for sound (heating system ductwork); Reflectix is meant for heat (attics, walls, and the like). I have heard, and find reasonable, that Reflectix is somewhat less efficient at sound insulation than Frost King.
