I don't think I would do a whole lot in the way of sound... I think it would probably help a bit with heat/cold insulation tho.
: J/K I think this is a great project and can't wait to see how it comes out.2002GreyHD150

carpet padding is worthless for this endeavor.
Weight: the hottly debated topic of all sound deadening conversations... Another reason for the shift from "blanket coverage" to the more logical, and 1/10th the weight "checkerboard/25%" practice.
Remember... Peel-n-Stick will only dampen resonances in the actual metal itself that its applied to. A single 1" x 1" square will properly dampen a piece of automotive sheet metal that is roughly 6" x 6".. Hence where the original Dynamat display testers came from... AH!! light bulb moment for many,... the display was designed to be cheap to produce and give MAX wow! factor... 25% was the number... nobody thought to apply it to the actual install back in the day... "Cover EVERYTHING! As many times as you can!" was the way it started. Wasted weight, time, energy, labor $$ and material $$....
MLV and CCF is where the magic lies in quieting road noise, tire noise, wind noise etc... WITH 25% "checker boarded" Peel-n-Stick.

I had to soundproof my 04 taurus's trunk(3000w dual kicker solo-baric 12"4 ohm L7's) and I used a paint like sound deadener my bud gave me (bought it for a eclipse he totaled) and it works great but is like adding a 5 gallon bucket of paint in the trunk....plus all the spray in...
It's pretty cool with a consistency of paste and a slight rubberization when dry but looks like bondo-minus the hardener...
Works great easy to paint in but heavy... Did pull spl from 137 to 142.....in legit spl competitions
