I have found that driving on the highway I get an excess of road noises coming it seems through the doors. The noise interferes with my speakers as it is and I am wondering if dynamat/brownbread will help with that.

If so, where are the most economical places to put it? Between the door and trim panel, under the seets, in the trunk (I drive an explorer) or on the ceiling?

Also is there anything else to do about the noise, replace the rubber o-ring type seals around the door? What do yall recomend

Yes it will definitely help out, line the inside of the exterior door skin, the interior of the interior door skin and underneath the carpeting of the vehicle to start. Brown Bread is highly recommended by many people and is available economically as a shop roll of 70sq.ft.

whats the best economic way of doing it, short of a 70sqft roll?

I am on a somewhat small budget, I am assuming 10sqft is in no way enough to do much of anything? I could give each door 1 layer and get a portion of the trunk with that though. But what about this peel and seal stuff from home depot. Does it actually do the same thing as brownbread? And I have heard it does not stick well, but does that matter if its under the carpet in the trunk or cabin? Obviously it would matter under the door trim, but what about there?

thanks

Peel and seal has a hard time sticking when it gets warm outside, from what I also hear it is wuite smelly. You can also get a half shop roll of Brown Bread as well. Yes it matters, it needs to be adhered to something in order for it to adequately block noise and vibrations.
