I've been putting this off for a while and I'm thinking about biting the bullet while I install the rest of my new gear. I already have a single layer of dynamat on my front door panels from when I installed my first set of speakers and I'm thinking about going with RAAMmat for the rest of my car.

I have a protege5 (sport wagon). How much will I need to cover the door panels on all 4 doors, the door skin on the rear doors, the hatch area (I'm primarily concerned about the strut tower wheel well area but if I have enough I'll cover the tire well also), and two layers on the rear gate? Could I cover all that with a single roll of RAAMmat?

I also want to add a layer of ensolite closed cell foam to the inside of all 4 door panels. How many sheets will I need for that?

Thanks!

If you are not sure, just tell me how much you bought and where you put it.

id say 2 rolls, to make sure you have enough to double of the front doors and rear hatch area


but email Rick direct hes pretty good at estimating how many rolls/ensolite

Here's a list of what all I have in mine Chuyler: http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=147446&page=3 post #36

I kind of did mine over the past few years. So just kept adding to it and eventually ended up with what's listed. My car is pretty quiet I guess considering all the carpet padding.

My last application of Dynamat Extreme was 20 ft^2 and it was enough to do both doors and panels once each.
