not a massive amount - depends what you want to soundproof it for - rattles?engine/road noise? or do you want to sort it for a stereo?? - if that's the case you can use DYNAMAT or BROWN BREAD (not the wheat variety!! ) you will need to remove all the relevant btrim/parts before putting it in. Koi has a 4runner which has been done and it's excellent
I've done it in 2 sound off cars and you have to be prepared to strip it down to the shell - good luck!!

Indeed... but if you do the dynamat/brownbread properly, its too heavy.. Other options include Noisekiller and Lizard Skin, some of the newer materials that accomplish the same results. Yet another option is multiple combinations of the above (PRCbarr), giving a good combination of al the best features... URL's to consider below.

Dynamat is on all panels on my runner, under door cards and the external skins of the panels & floor pan, only roof not done. Yes its heavy, the doors close with a nice solid thud

I have done the rear floor and in the process of doing both rear sides in Brown Bread, although it's alot cheaper than Dynamat Xtreme it is a real pain to work with and requires lots of heat during application. I will use the BB on the rest of the floors, but roof and doors will now be done with xtreme.

I am doing it for both eliminating road noise especially with the simex tyres, and I will be competing with it in dB drag. (The surf was bought to tow my real competition car).

I wouldn't use noisekiller ever again after the kit I recieved for my last car.

This is where Lizard Skin is available from:

(In the UK...)

A lot of people are raving about this stuff. The next car the missus gets will get a thorough application of it. I had previously had good experience with NoiseKiller when Path brought it in from Sweden (long time ago). But if its not the product it was... This Lizard Skin stuff isn't cheap, but by all accounts is very effective. I'll wait till I have a chance to test it...
