Ok, I've read the archives (yay they worked great) but am still a bit confused.

I have acquired a proper Carat interior for my '90 and while I'm installing it thought it would be a good time to install some sound dampening material. I know about Dynamat and Fat Mat and some other similar problems - however times be tight financially my friends and I was hoping to do this relatively inexpensively with the best possible results.

I'd love to use Fat Mat, because I've heard it's results, but it just isn't int he budget right now.

So, any "poor mans" materials anyone can suggest? Also, it makes sense that covering as much of the surfaces as I can will be the best solution but if I were to ultimately go Fat Mat will I still get good results by placing a "tile" here and there? Or is complete covering the really only good way to do it?

Thanks in advance ;)
