I am installing a JL Audio W6 12" and a 500/1 for the subs and a 300/4 JL audio for my JL audio 6x9's and Alpine componets and I am wanting a sound deadning material that will do the job, please advise and price for 100 feet or equivalant to do the entire car. Thanks in advance.

I acutally bought a 100 sq/ft of fatmat off of ebay for $119.98 shipped. It included more extra's than b-quiet for the same price so I went with it. I won't need to double layer anything will I? I bought 100 sq/ft so I can do mine and a friends car, I owe him so I was hoping we could do both. He only wants to do his trunk and trunk lid. I wanna do the doors, trunk, trink lid & rear deck. Anyone have any advice on that?

I wish I got a dollar for every car that Ive seen those listed above fall off of.

Are you saying fatmat is crap, if so that sucks I already ordered it but I could sell back on ebay I guess and get something better, at least I haven't put it on the car yet. What about b-quiet or do you only support dynamat.

Yea I only have about 30sqft in my car so far, but ya get what ya pay for. Ever been to a theater?Opera house? police station? recording studio? 8 out of 10 of em use CAE.

I used around 150 sq.ft.of Fatmat to deaden my 3rd gen last winter(all 4 doors inner/outer,rear quarters,trunk floor and decklid).I found out how well it sticks recently when I had to change out a window regulator on the drivers door.On some spots I had to literally chisel it off the inner panel using a hammer and chisel.
I guess the most important aspect of installing any sound deadener is to make sure the surface is clean before you apply it.
I've never used any other product,but I'm satisfied with Fatmat(so far).

I know this may sound like a dumb question but when installing the sound deadning stuff, how to you install around the wiring harnesses in the doors, trunk etc. I am assuming I would not want to cover them up just in case I needed to get to something, but at the same time it is going to be time consuming cutting out for every single wiring harness?

Change is a good thing.

DO NOT get the industrial stuff at Home Depot. I read one guy who did that because it was so much cheaper but he found out 2 major things:
- it weighed much more, car felt heavier after done
- it stank up the car in the summer heat
Sometimes you really do get what you pay for.
