Don't use spray glue. The over spray will get onto everything
-
use dynamat you cheep shit!!!
-
sure just let find spray foam dealer let them loose in your vehicle. they put 4 inch layer of foam never hear thing after that treatment.

I used some aluminum membrane roofing product, pretty cheap. I think the company is Resisto. I laid it out in the cab of my pick-up and it works a lot like the dynamat. I used rubber and adhesive inbetween my chassis and rollbar. It's amazingly quite for a 20 year old truck.

FYI, you have to let the glue thicken up about 30sec to a minute. when it's nice and tacky is when you lay your product.

Super77 is the stuff to use...

doesn't he sound like Tosh?

Just buy some FatMat so much easier wand would work better... You can get 100 square feet for $100 in the 5mm the 8mm thick stuff is $70 for 50 square feet.

This is a GREAT video!
I've used that particular spray adhesive and it's pretty terrible. There's better (although more expensive stuff) from the 3M company that's available at any auto parts store. However, I think your best option would be a bottle for Rubber Cement and a small paint roller.
Also, make sure the area is clean. Just use soap and water and let it dry.
Awesome I'm doing this next week, one question though... Was it easy to remove the carpet and panels without destroying anything?

Yeah, not a problem at all. I didn't label any of the screws and things, which was a mistake on my part. So long as you label stuff it shouldn't be a problem. The whole project worked pretty well for me overall.

Thanks to those of you who enjoyed this video. It took quite a while to sift through 6 hours of footage to pick out just what I wanted to show, but came out rather nicely I think.. While it is the 'poor mans dynamat' as put by pedrotski2007, for me (a broke college student) it was a perfectly viable alternative. At the time I talked with audimute representatives they told me I was one of only 2-5 people who had ever tried this product in a vehicle. To iluvithaha, it's all on the website listed

Installing the Peacemaker was done specifically because I wanted to do an overhaul on my car audio system. I installed aftermarket speakers and subwoofers in the doors and in a ported sun enclosure for the back area. (6.5" infinity reference speakers, 12" alpine series r's)
I once drove 70mph, windows down, with opera playing. It was turned up loud but I could heard every note perfectly. The peacemaker eliminated the rattles from the door caused by the speaker. Better sounds are guaranteed. As
