Started installing the first roll of sound deadening in the Explorer. Went with SoundSkins Pro which is a little thicker (0.18") than your normal Dynamat since has 3 layers (acoustic foam, foil, and butyl rubber). I still need about 4-5 more rolls and its gonna cost about $350-$450 but should be enough to cover the rest of the floor pan, inside all 4 doors, and a few other panels that could use some.
I'm probably going overkill with the amount of sound deadening, but I'm no professional. Just don't want the bass from the T-Rex stomping or thunder to be rattling and clanking the Explorer. I want that nice deep bass. And I think it looks pretty clean, even though you won't be able to see it once the carpet is back in....BUT ILL KNOW ITS THERE! lol.
The process for installing it is pretty straight forward. Clean the area and wipe it down with alcohol, pre-fit the SoundSkins, cut any holes out that you don't want covered, then apply with a roller.
