Cheap Alternative to Dynamat?

Dynamat isn't cheap on eBay, like $105 for a whole roll of 50 square feet. I only need a couple square feet of it to do the front doors and rear deck on my 96 Max. Is there anything cheaper? I was looking at R-Blox because it was half the price of Dynamat.

I guess what I was asking is if all the brands were good. And you said they all do the same thing, so I'll try to find the cheapest price. Thanks.

I have something similiar in my trunk that came from Home Depot. It is some kind of roofing material but mine had its own adhesive on the back. It was a pain in the @ss to get it to contour to all the curves in the trunk. I would heat it up and then the tar stuff would bust through the backing when I tried to push it into grooves and it would burn my hands. The only difference I could tell after putting it down was that my trunk lid was harder to open due to the extra weight.

eDead v3.0!!!

I put that all over the floor of my trunk (3 liberal coats), and it really decreased the road noise coming from the rear. I also used some v1.0 on the cabin/trunk separator wall on both sides of it.
