i used great stuff foundation foam, (available at homedepot for about $4 a can. it expands after you put it on, so it fills up the air air space. I have used it on a few cars with decent results especially considering it costs less than $20 to do an entire trunk. Just be careful around the lock.

go to mcmelectronics.com they have an off brand pad that works pretty well. ( it's not as good as dynamat but application is more important than actual brand. "Remember a carpenter can do more with a chisel than you can with a saw"
