Default Sound Dampening Question

I am planning to put some kind of material in the doors to make them a little more sturdy and less noisy. I checked the price of DynaMat, and I said "for this price do I get a truck load :skep?": . Please let me know, what you guys did or would do in this situation.

You might want to read this thread, they are discussing some dynomat alternatives.

Also there's usually a lot of discussion about this in the audio/electronics forum.

if you are concentrating on the doors; there is car stereo material made specifically for doors. Since the inner cavity of a car door will see moisture; I would recommend you use products specifically designed for that application.
