Are you gonna do just the floor or you gonna do the floor, pillars and roof with this? 100 might make it for the floor, but not enough for the rest if you were planning on doing it. Always better to have more than less when it comes to deadening material.

Only deaden the panels that can actually vibrate. Do the roof, doors, and hatch; the floor won't do anything but add weight to your car. Get some carpet padding and put that down instead. The best way to deaden noise is to fill hollow spots with something like poly-fill.

I bought a roll of RAAMAT and their sheeting and have done the doors, hatch and rear panels made a huge difference. I would recommend RAAMAT http://www.raamaudio.com/. I just did mine last week and went out and met Rick and got the stuff since he is local to us here. Great guy and great product much better than the cheaper products and better price then the higher end.
