Default Trunk Insulation question

For those who have done this, did you insulate the outside of the airbox cover? The outside of the trunk carpet? Both?

I lined the floor directly w/ self adhesive, the floor IMO the more important
Two layers, bottom layer stuck on, then an air gap and upper layer placed on top.

The air box area I created a formed blanket that is not adhered to either the air box panel or the trunk carpet.
Secured by the trunk liner net retainers.

To answer your question direct... I would do both.
