    Hey all,

    I recently picked up a 5 boxes of Dynamat Door Kits. They each contain 12 sq feet of material, and the salesperson told me that one kit should be good to cover the front and rear doors on one side of my 2011 Tacoma Double Cab.

    Anyways, the sale price was ridiculously good ($23 CDN per Door Kit) so I picked up some extra boxes. This leaves me with 60 square feet of Dynamat.

    I'm wondering if somebody could let me know a ballpark figure for how many square feet of material I'd need to apply Dynamat to different areas of the truck?

    Specifically I'd like to know the rough square footage of:

    -Front Doors
    -Rear Doors
    -Rear Wall
    -Floor
    -Headliner

    Also, once the doors are done what would be the best spot to tackle next? I've been told the rear wall, but I won't have any subwoofers in my system so I'm not sure if that's still the best advice.

    Thanks for your help!

    Dont waste time on the headliner, You are really just going to sound deaden road noise with what youre doing which in turn makes the speakers sound better.

    I have done 4 vehicles and have never done the roof.

    Floor from the firewall to the back wall should be done, careful of seatbelt and other wires ( try to either leave a spot around them exposed or go under them.. do not cover them up!

    Take the door panels off and start on the lower sections what you think are thin, Dont over do it as it will have no effect.

    Do the back wall as its really thin and carries road noise up from the bed area.

    If you still have an itch and extra pieces then do the roof last.

    WEAR GLOVES!!!!!!! this stuff is sharp!!

    Take your time and cut lots of little pieces and smooth with a roller for best results.

    Also try to avoid any over lapping as its a waste of material.
