I'm looking at getting some eDEAD sound deadener for my 03 silverado ext cab. Wanting to do the whole interior (door panels, floor, headliner, and the rear wall). Does anyone have any idea how many square ft of this I need to to a complete job on my truck. And what do you guys think of eDEAD, dynamat is way overpriced in my opinion, but let me know. Thanks.

i like secondskin so i wouldnt know about the ed stuff you can check this out though http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/

i agree, second skin is great stuff

edead seems to be a decent cheap alternative to other sound damping options.

I have heard some very strong opinions that it is not good as it falls off. Especially when you stick it to like a roof, trunk lid or other surface where its on the underside hanging off it.

Some people swear by it, some people hate it. Seems to be the story of eD in all ways...

just measure the areas you want to cover and see how many square feet are there, then account for things like the tranny hump. i think you will come in the area of around 120 sq. ft.

3 gallons for liquid deadener to do firewall to trunk.
40 to 60sq ft of mat to do doors, ceiling, etc.
that generally handles a typical sedan.
that's a ballpark guess. a bulk roll of mat from ebay usually does the job.
