Ok guys I need some advice. I am installing a pretty nice system in my 98 civic coupe and I need to deaden it before I go any further. Now I am pretty sure I am going to go through b-quiet.com for my deadening but I am unsure which product I should go for. I like the idea of getting 100sq ft. of B-quiet Extreme because I would be getting more deadening and it would be cheaper than the 70sq ft. of Brown Bread. In your opinions should I use B-quiet or Brown Bread to cover my car. I am on a pretty tight budget so saving money with a tiny loss in performance is fine.

If your budget permits, Brown Bread is the way to go - FYI: the CCA discount code is still active - enter cca in the coupon/discount code box inside the shopping cart to save 10% on your B-Quiet purchases.

What are the advantages of using Brown Bread over B-quiet?

The way I look at it is that the dampening factor isnt that much different that if I had extra b-quiet left over I could just add extra layers where needed. One of the other main reasons I liked the though of using the B-quiet is because with 100sq ft. I figured I could do the trunk, doors and then run my friend 12a in my trunk and play notes from 30hz on up and at every frequency I could deaden where the car rattled. With the Brown bread I dont think I would have enough to be able to do this.

Brown Bread (70sqft.) - $240.75
B-quiet (100sqft.) - $207.03

Just for reference

The difference in damping factors is approx 1.5 (ie. Brown Bread approx 1.5 times more effective)

The scale is linear - so .2 is twice as effective as .1
