Stinger is what I used. It's generally cheaper and nearly identical materials to Dynamat.

The general consensus is that the outer skin, some bits of the inner skin, and some bits of the door card benefit from deadener. Additionally, the rear quarter panels, trunk lid, and tire well have been popular spots for deadener.

You want to focus on the areas with high vibration energy and high resonant frequency. That's why I advocate covering around the speakers and any place that goes "ting" instead of "thunk" when you knock on it.

I still have some to go... but here's my install: LINK
