Sound deadening for a bare shell

I've got my RX-2 as a bare shell and want to put some aluminum-backed liner inside to keep the heat and noise down. What do you guys reccomend that won't break the bank? I'd like to use some no-name Dynamat in the doors and floor but would like a cheaper alternative.

I've seen a lot of writeups on adhesive linings, like for AC ductwork, but nearly all the links from the forum are dead. Does anyone have a good adhesive line that they recommend?

I was thinking of going Cascade, but after a little research and a good comparison here and there i've decided to go with Second Skin. If anyone has had any first hand experience with the stuff please post your thoughts on it.

The way I figure on sound deadening/dampening, you're really only going to do it once so ya might as well do it right the first time with some decent quality stuff. However some is better than none if you were to look it that way as well.

Damplifier and Damplifier Pro are both really good, as well.

Thanks for the input. Yeah that was one of the reviews that I read that helped me decide on which one to go with.

I wish I would have realized it earlier. I didn't mean to say that eDead was good. It is decent, but I had gotten it mixed up with Damplifier. Their websites look similar. Haha.
