Sound deadening...Is it worth it?

I would think a good sound-deadening project’s cost is independent of what you spend for your components. Why would you spend more for sound deadening whether you spend $20K or $10K on your components?
With this said… Thanks for the tip on additional liners. I think that is good advice.

I did the my entire cargo area about a year ago. Pulled out all the panels, and coated everything with a thick coat of eDead v3 (used a gallon total). Over the eDead, I used 3/8" neoprene (doubled up in certain areas like on the wheel wells). With that much thickness, it was tough to get some of my panels back in.
Above the floor board and below my carpet, I used two layers of carpet pad. I could not find a single carpet store that had any jute in stock, so I used the multi-colored foam stuff that you get at home depot for area rugs.
Maybe it's just my imagination, but I think that helped more than anything else.

I don’t disagree with your comments, but I wonder if installing jute-backed insulation would invite mold and retain moisture.
In fact, I swap out my floor mats and cargo mats between seasons to alleviate this problem.
I’m concerned about your advice since I think that would aggravate the “moisture problem” that exists in such a small compartment as the Z’s interior. Of course, my concern may have not valid foundation. I'm not sure.
Thank you for your comments and advice.
