how many sq. feet to cover? might use b-quiet

anybody have a ballpark idea of how many sqaure feet covers the bottom of the firewall all the way to the trunk? doors included.

i'm thinkin of maybe buying b-quiet ultimate. http://www.b-quiet.com/ultimate.html

anybody use it before?

i'm not a big audio guy i will never have a amp or bass speaker in my trunk.

i'm trying to reduce rattle/road/misc. noise and make more solid sounding ride.

b-quiet is OK but Second SKin (Damplifier PRO) and Dynamat Xtreme beats it hands down. SS and DX have a thicker layer of alum. foil which greatlly adds in deflecting noise. Bquiet is just roofing material rebadged as a deadener. It will do the job but.....

To do the entire car look for 100 sq. ft. or so.

Cheapest prices for DX can be found at www.sonicelectronix.com Sonic is cheaper than Onlinecarstereo.com or woofersetc.

Here is what 36 sq. ft. of Dynamat Xtreme covers (and no..I'm not done yet).

Note: the back or the rear seats are also covered (about 80%)

I used 125sq ft to cover the base of the firewall to the taillights, and a double layer on the doors. I did not do the roof.
