Sound Deading

Well i got 50 square of this stuff called Raamat. Someone on this board recomended it and i got it off ebay. And now its time for it to go in. Now what i am looking for is where to put it. Im thinking, trunk, kick panels, and sail panels. Mabey doors? What do you guys think? Thanks A lot. Bobby.

I'm sure you will be happy. Some of the noisiest parts seem to be on the wheel wells (front and rear). The roof, if you can drop the headliner makes a difference too.

If you have no speakers in the door, I would put one layer on the inside skin of the door (where the vapor barrier normally goes).

Some in the trunk if its rattling. Kickpanels, footwells up front, sail panels (especially if you put speakers there).

Best bet is to vacuum car out, then pull off door panels, clean with a relatively strong cleaner (like rubbing alcohol), lay it out in the sun to get it to heat up and be more flexible, get a wallpaper roller (about 1.5-2" wide to get it to conform to the car).

I wouldn't bother keeping any of it (if you have 10 square feet left, put some in the hatch or behind the seat, wherever, it will make a difference).
