Trunk redo, now dynomat
Here's how I sound deadened my 16v trunk. Worked killer, I had 1200w of subs back there and not a rattle (from the trunk anyways). I bought a Dynomat trunk kit from Ebay, they're common there and about $50 cheaper than what you'd pay in the store. I also picked up some of the basic Dynomat on Ebay when I found a couple small rolls of it going for cheap. I used basic Dynomat on the floor, Xtreme on the rear where the tails are, the spare tire well and the sides. I covered the entire trunk with a good amount left over. Then, when I managed to smooth out all the Dynomat, I bought like 4 cans of that rubber bedliner spray stuff and hosed down the trunk. The floor got 2 cans on it's own (about 4 layers) and the sides got 2 layers. This made my trunk durable, fluid-proof and covered the Dynomat. It looked really nice and deadened awesome. Plus it was cheap and easy, the way I like it. ;)

I didn't use the spray, it was the sheets... The way I did it, it has taken
almost a large box and a half, and I still have the floor, firewall and
drivers door to do... I plan to use the spray for those areas that I just
can't get to any other way...
BTW, I got the dead pedal... It looks great! Thanks...
