I've been searching and pondering a bit. I'll start off with what I have and then ask some questions and thoughts.
sound deadening showdown (http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/) <--- a great site to check out comparing dynamat substitues.
Maybe it's a bit outlandish but I'd like to deaden my car the best that I can with as little cost as possible (but who doesn't?) I'm talking floor, doors, rear deck, and the entire truck. Not just one round of material either. My current thought is to hit the entire bare metal with 3M underseal rubberized undercoating (http://www.autotoolmart.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi/st_prod.html?p_prodid=9488&p_catid=228&sid=fg1x11ETM9S73z-28105174552.ac) follw that up on the cabin floor with the material laid down before carpeting or rugs, and also found in higher up cars (. something like this (http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.ocprices.com/ben/fleece/carpet.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.ocprices.com/index.php%3Frev_id%3D39%26action%3Dreviews%26cat_i d%3D68&h=291&w=350&sz=36&hl=en&start=1&tbnid=czxfjP8bJU715M:&tbnh=96&tbnw=116&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcarpet%2Bdampening%26svnum%3D10%26hl% 3Den%26lr%3D%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DG) ) as for the doors and trunk I want to wrap it in a dynamat like product (the intention of this thread PLEASE is not to bicker over which brand) then seal it with a product much like second skin's sludge (http://www.secondskinaudio.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi?pg=2&p=ps) but at a fraction of the $300 for 5 gallon price tag.
would the 3M underseal and dynamat/whatever be able to stay together? I can't see why they wouldn't but wanted another opinion before I did it.
Also can anyone see any weaknesses or flaws in this little plan?
When things get afoot I'll get a how-to if anyone is interested with plenty of pics
