It would be so worthy given the amount of work and money you put in.

<sigh> Well...if you'd read the thread you would have seen comments relating to the very same question you asked, and a link reposted several times that explains the impact of deadening materials and their application. Taking this a step further, if you would have read the link'd info, you would have realized that plastering deadening materials all over the interior is pointless. As such, the job doesn't "look awesome," as you asserted in a previous post. The thread is only 3 pages long. Please read it.

the inside of the car is all shiny, I like shiny. And I followed the link, and while SDS gives some great info he doesn't compare his product to other commercial items, ie. FATMAT or dynamat?

Sorry, what?
Again, read the material. Don, from SDS, was solely responsible for testing every deadener on the market including the ones you mentioned. There's also a plethora of information that can be had on ANY car audio forum, again, relating directly to your query. In this very thread, I personally discussed Fatmat and its complete lack of effectiveness. Essentially, any deadener that's asphalt-based is useless. This includes Fatmat and all other cheap crap that folks install in their cars. OTOH, SDS, SS, Cascade, RAMMmat and a few others do offer a quality product. This product, however, is not used in a manner exemplified by the OP.

If you want to reduce sound, asphalt based deadeners are NOT worthless. You can argue, and most likely correctly so that there are better alternatives - but if you want to reduce your intake of sound, they DO work. I know this from my own vehicles as well as friends, with amounts that are nowhere near what the OP has done.

FJF,
So what your saying is use one of those CLD metal panels to break up the reasonance in the center of the door for example (the 25% of the item in question, from the SDS link) then covering it with Dynamat or similar material? Would you consider Dynamat a MLV or a CLD?

You bet! Now, try finding truly sensitive speakers.
The stock speakers are very sensitive, and don't sound half-bad driven by a good front end. Unfortunately, most aftermarket speakers are not sensitive regardless of how much their respective marketing departments play with the specs. I'm actually trying to find some sensitive drivers that aren't meant for SPL/PA use. Not having much luck. It wasn't always like this. Going back 10-15 years, before the Chinese started offering very inexpensive amplifiers, the bulk of car speakers were indeed highly sensitive.
