Are you doing it because of an aftermarket sub or just to prevent outside noise?

Outside noise really. I have stock speakers at the moment. Eventually I wanna upgrade. I just installed kenwood dnx 9990. Kinda need highs. Was thinking of adding the 2011 a-pillar with the tweeters. Was told they don't fit.

What do you mean how would you purchase? If you are going to do the doors, I'd go for 200 sq ft. I used fatmat. Should be about $250 iirc.

Nope won't fit. You'd need the 2011 dashboard, headliner and windshield, use some fiberglass resin to mold it up,

Dynamat is not going to help with outside noise that much. Check out http://www.raamaudio.com/products/Ensolite-IUO-Peel-and-Stick.html. These guys make a product called Ensolite that is designed to be a sound barrier. Dynamat will help a little but the main purpose of it is sound deadening which will keep your door skins from vibrating as much. The Dynamat should give your speakers a much better sound though.

Btw, RAAMaudio also makes a sound deadener that is just as good if not better than Dynamat, and it's cheaper

+1 dynamat is only supposed to be around 25% of installed speaker. Doing the whole truck is a waste of time and money.
