Never used Raamat. Used B-Quiet. Fine product.
Did also find http://www.fatmat.com but never used it. Prices are good on it.
CommentS?

Either one will work great. They're very similar product.
Raammat is slightly thicker (45mils v. 60mils). Which is either a good thing or a bad thing, depending on your application.
I'd order 2 packs of either the raammat or the b-quiet product. Double up on the doors and do as much of the outter skin of metal as you can reach.

If i am trying to get rid of rattles, should i be getting thicker or thinner? When you say two packs, do you mean two packs of 50 sq ft.? Also, is it worth it to get the B-Quiet Ultimate or should i stay with the extreme? The only main difference is that you cant put extreme under the hood, which i wanted to do. Any suggestions are welcome...

Thinner is nice if you have a lot of crevices and seams to get the mat into and around. Thicker is generally heavier, although I do not know how heavy the b-quiet mat is compared to the raamaudio mat. Heavier is better for damping, but many people like to keep their car as light as possible.
Yes, I would get 2 of the 50ft^2 packs. If one of your desired applications is under the hood, but the one that will allow you to do that. You could always buy one Extreme pack for the trunk and an ultimate for the doors and hood.
Let me know what you decide and how it works out for you.

I want to get two but i cant spend that much. I will prob just  buy 1 50 sq. ft. of the ultimate. I'll double up on the hatch part, which is really small. Any other suggestions?
