Hi Paul,

Please visit the link above that MrSypher posted (the eastwood company). I noticed on that site that they sell some sound insulation products. Is that what you bought? If not, is it comparable to what you bought?

If you did not buy yours from this site, do you remember where you bought yours from?

Thanks!

I bought my B-Quiet products directly from their web site (www.b-quiet.com).

Hi Paul, just went there. How many sq. ft. (they have it in 10.5, 30 and 70 sq. ft.) did you need for your car? And where and where did you use it? I just need to know how much to order to cover the underneath of the back seats, and anywhere else that is easily done - perhaps doors and under the carpet? .......

Never mind Paul, I just called B-quiet and they told me how much I need. Seems like an awful lot to me -

27 sq. ft. of Vcomp plus
100 sq. ft. of Extreme to do an excellent job of vibration and road noise suppression.

Expensive to say the least, plus it adds an extra 50 - 70 lbs. of weight to the car!

I doubt very much if I will do this.......

Hi Paul,

Looks like you did an awesome job sound proofing your car. How much sq. footage did you buy of both materials?

I can't imagine spending upwards of $200.00 on this stuff to do a decent job of sound proofing my car.

It was tedious but not difficult and I'm NO skilled 'mod guy' believe me.

My order was 35 sq. feet of Brown Bread ($94.99) and 8 sq. feet of Lcomp ($69.99).

The Lcomp is VERY heavy and I simply put the 2x4' mat under the trunk carpet and foldable liner on top of the plastic tray that goes over the spare. It does quieten things another notch.

I have another 35 sq. feet of Vcomp sitting here (I bought it because it was on sale), and I plan to put that under the front footwell carpet at some point.
