Also, what about the trunk, do that as well?

I like to do it all. I even stuff it into gaps in the dash, use it to make gaskets for trim panels, pretty much where ever it will fit.

so what closed cell do you suggest?

Ensolite MLC, Neoprene High Quality or one of the vinyl-nitriles sold for sound deadening. Just buy it from a reputable source - some people have had weird odor problems with eBay and other unknown sellers.

raamaudio has ensolite and it is very reasonably priced. I looked at some other options but pricing was all the same. Rick is a great guy to deal with.

I thought the CCF was only used in doors/behind speakers. Is that not really the case?

Not by me

I've used it everywhere I deadened - which in my case is everywhere. Makes a big difference. I also used it inside my servers and lined the drawers of my toolbox with it. Can't have too much.

what do you drive? obviouslly performance isnt a concern with 1000lbs of deadening material...

'05 Civic Sedan, so performance wasn't an issue to start with

. Closer to 150 lbs and about 50 of that is stuff I put in there just to test.

I've tracked every gallon of gasoline I've ever put into the car and there hasn't been any noticeable decrease in mileage. I drive about as aggresively as you can in a Civic sedan and still get around 30/38, so I'm happy. Really quite and the music sounds sweet - all I could ask of a daily driver.

eh, my theory is, through a cold air intake on it, and get enough horsepower to make up for the sound deadening.

Also, much like your theory with the super model, I have a very similar theory. I keep 100+ pounds in reserve for a body of someone I eventually snap and kill. Seeing how this is very illegal and very horrible. I figure my sound deadening can borrow that weight for the time being

Just don't snap and kill my super model

Alternatively, if the...um...cargo...is still making noise, it helps to have the deadening. Especially when you get pulled over.

Most people don't know that butyl sound deadener is MUCH better than duct tape for keeping those nasty screams muted.

So I have been realizing, and joking around with my sisters fiancee about.

Always remind him that if he steps out of line, my trunk will be where he is headed, and no one will be able to hear his muffled screams,
