Default sound absorbing foam

I was at Mcmastercar and looked at this foam
5692T61 check it out www.mcmaster.com 10 bucks for 54"x 12"

I was also looking at Vcomp from B-quiet. 65 bucks for 54"x36"

I installed Brownbread this weekend inthe rear hatch and its great. but it moved the soundstage forward. Since now there is a greater sound difference between the rear and front. So when I go and do my doors and front panels I want to do brownbread and sound insulating foam.

shoot me some reccomendations. I dont want to pay top dollar for what the Mcmaster stuff can do for 1/3 the price.

The Urethane-coated foam from McMaster Carr would be a good choice. You would need to use a spray adhesive to install it, just like with the ensolite from Raammat. Elemental Designs has a pre-glued foam which is very reasonable priced, and although I have never personally used it I hear rave reviews about it.

Here's the eD Teklite stuff:

$2/sq ft is not bad at all for this product. It's cheaper than your McMaster stuff, and is MADE for a car environment.

That eD Teklite stuff looks well enough...can anyone say what the total sq footage needed for a Z is? Or just for the back?

I did the inside of my Z with 76 sq ft of deadening, that includes floor pans, rear hatch and doors (3 layers on doors - outer skin, inner skin, and plastic panel). I would imagine it would be the same if you wanted to do everything in the foam, but i personally don't see a need to use closed cell foam on the surfaced covered in carpeting. So if I were to purchase this Teklite (which I'm seriously considering) I would order around 40 sq ft to be safe, might have a little left over.
