    cool! i didnt even think about going and feeling for vibrations on the outside ill have to try that to see where all the road noise is coming from.. i did do both pieces of the door, outside skin and inside, what i may end up doing is just getting another 50 sf or so and doing around the rear windows then doing back over and doing a second layer around theh wheel wells and doors..

    Help me!!!!!! :-)

    So I too am going to use RAAM audio's mat and Ensolite on the ENTIRE interior of the VX.

    What I need to know from everyone who has ever done this is how much do I need to order? I am planning on getting 150 sq ft of the sound deadening mat and about the same of the Ensolite. Right at $500 or so of product.

    Long story short a gallon of milk exploded when a bump caused my dog food to crush the milk after a grocery store run. Bad thing was I stopped by Lowe's and Burger King before getting home to realize the milk had made it's way from the back door under the carpet to sitting in the front passenger floor pan.

    I immediately pulled out all carpet (including all seats, seat belts, amp under seat, and center console), and the next day took out side panels and ceiling, so the VX has nothing on the inside right now, nothing at all. I will take pictures don't worry ;-)

    I plan on doing the ceiling first so I can go ahead and put that back in because it was the last to come out and looks the worst in my opinion being out ;-)

    So how much deadening and then how much Ensolite to do ceiling, doors, side panels, back door, and the entire floor all the way to the firewall? 150sq feet is like 7'x21.4', or 8'x18.75', and our VX interior is roughly 7-8' long from back door to firewall right? So add up the width of the floor, height of each side panel and the width of the roof and it is not more than 18'-21' right? I would go out and measure but my VX is at the shop getting a rebuilt a/c compressor in it right now. Any help much appreciated.....
