RE: [T3] Sound Deadening(what to use)

i am in the works of trying to quiet my square, and with the small amount of knowledge i have,..i offer two suggestions. You could use the panels, i.e. Dynamat, and that is the best stuff on the market,..you can even try the dynalyiner plus, or MAX. any of these will work, and most car steroe places will stock some. (try hifi buys if there is one in your area)
Second, and with my strongest recommendation, you can use a spray sound dampener. Once again, dynamat has this, even though its not on there web site. It is availavle in spray cans or by the gallon. although with the gallon,..you need a texture spray gun(you can rent one from home depot i belive). there is also a product called v-blok, but i have never tried it( i hear its ok)
I am gonna spray the inside of my entire car (better coverage). Good luck with whatever you use

Okay, now that I have my Ph.D in Sound Dampening and could explain the whole shebang to a Material Analysis class, let's go back to my original question: 

What should I use?

I've visited the following two sites so far:
http://www.dynamat.com/
http://www.hamiltonjet.com/
