In addition to those listed above, the b and c-pillars made a huge difference in my car. I did the metal and put more on the back side of the panel itself.

About 15sqft. The more the merrier. It's insane how much noise comes through there! Try driving around w/o a back seat for an hour, you'll see what I mean.

couldn't this be attributed to the sheer size of the back seat?
