I like RAAMmat BXT for sound deadening (panel vibration dampening). It works as well as DynaMAT Xtreme and costs a lot less.

For a heat barrier, lay some of this on top of the RAAMmat:

It's essentially blue jean fibers with a foil backing that will lower your floor temperature substantially.

I had a member on another forum suggest adhesive asphalt flashing. He said it works almost as well as Dynamat and is about 1/3 the price.

If anyone reading is shoestring budget looking for a temporary fix I've found that a big piece of memory foam under the seat soaks up enough sound to have conversations at highway speed even when you have worn out door seals and a whole in the floor. doesn't help on the heating side of things though...

I have been doing a lot of reading on this. Sounds interesting. Cant beat the price, and it is butyl rubber so it shouldn't smell;

It's rubberized asphalt, not butyl rubber. There is a difference.

Edit: I clicked on the wrong link. What you linked is butyl rubber, but damn it's small. Seems like it would take a while to lay down.

The ad says 37.5 square ft. Any idea how big the pieces are?

That was just an example. I'm sure there are other options

I used both of these products. It was far cheaper the the Fatmat or DynaMat before installing my new carpet.

I used the fatmat and worked well . I would suggest getting enough to do the ceiling ( if have a headliner). Also the doors . I put just enough to the outer skin on the inside of the door and also covered the inside of the door behind the door panel . What a difference it made . They even sound solid when closing the door now instead of the hollow tin sound . I am confident it took a lot of my interior noise out .

I also used that adhesive on the ceiling under the headliner and inside the door. I did the same as you on the doors, used some on the door skin under the door panel and on the door panel itself.

I had some FatMat left over that I used from a previous vehicle I did, but it was so expensive compared to the stuff you can run to Lowes and get. I compared the 2 side by side, and there is no difference in thickness. It looked the same, felt the same. The only difference I could see, is that the FatMat had its logo printed on it.

It truly has made a bring improvement on the sound. And then putting the heat mat from Home Depot, I feel helped also. I used it everywhere I could think of.

Used the Lowes product in my 91 crew. Took a bit of time, but I'm kinda anal about keeping lines straight. I taped all the seams and edges also. Works great!! What a difference.

So i used to preach about Fatmat, and the similar types of stick down insulation. My 77 Pro street( 6-71 blown sbc) thats bagged and body dropped. I had 3 layers on the floor, my firewall was done, and my doors inside and out. while it did good for sound, i melted it, and my carpet was stuck to it. it seeps up through the edges. I also did my 97 crew cab , as it is my tow rig. Also melted through on the floor and actually got so hot, that my wife couldnt put here feet on the floor as it would burn her. We were towing through nevada in 105 degree weather. and i live in socal where its always warm. that being said, i am now gonna use Lizardskin on my new build. and see how it holds it up to heat. Also on my 77 the inside of the cab was always really hot. never needed a heater at all..

37.5 sq ft per flat pack box, 20 sheets, 11"x23"

I liked it better when it came in rolls.
