How much dynamat do I need?

I have the oppertunity to pick up 20sq ft of Dynamat for $40 figured I'd jump on it. I was just wondering how much I would need to do the front doors, rear decklid and the trunk.

Thanks in advance.

Get it but you will need a hair more. Remember 20 Square feet it and area 4.5 feet by 4.5 feet

Well I can get as much as I need. But the end price ends up being $40 for 20 sqft. I'm not going crazy with it. Just Front doors, Rear decklid and some in the trunk. I hate hate hate rattle boxes for cars I'm im attempting to avoid that.

good coverage on all that is gonna be more then 20sq ft probably 2 packs (40sqft would be good coverage) but you can stretch it out and might get ok results. thats pretty thin thou

hopefully you got dynamat extreme. regular stuff isnt very good

It is infact dynamat extreme thats why I thought it was a steal. So 40sq ft will give good coverage?

Like I said, not looking to go all out just to mitigate some of the rattle. Cause even with aftermarket 6x9s the rear deck rattles something fierce

50 sq feet was enough to do everything from the front seats back in my car.....That included the full trunk well, lid, and all the side panels in the back seat as well......only thing that wasnt done was the roof......so 40 should work for you no problem, even with doing the doors.....

hahaha......i didnt overlap.....anyone can just slap it in on top of itself......i prefer a clean install......and putting more than 1 layer isnt going to make much of a difference in my opinion.

Im thinking about doing this as well, but the area Im focusing on is the wheel wells to cut down on tire road noise. Anybody ever do this? I was thinking pull the wheel well plastic out, line the inside of them with dynamat and then put them back in. What do you think? Ill probably do the door too.

sounds like a good idea to me. i want to do the same thing except with the second skin spectrum spray... also want to spray the whole bottom of the car but neither are probably going to happen any time soon

That spectrum stuff seems cool, it would be a lot lighter than dynamat I would assume. How does it dry though? Does it stay that crazy green?

i would imagine the spectrum would melt off the bottom, espically where you live...

lol no its actually pretty heavy duty. guy put it on his exhaust shield and its held up good. another guy used a heat gun to dry it with no adverse effects

its never been green. either a blush/gray color or the newest stuff is a much darker gray/black

The picture of the 1 gal paste I saw looked green, but youre right, everything else I saw looked bluish/gray....supposedly it dries black which would be good. I googled it and found a bunch of application pictures on other forums....it was pretty helpful.
