check his site out also. they go about it two opposite ways; one says treat the whole area, the other says 25% is just fine
When Talking to Paul at CAE he explained:

The best materials to use to reduce the types of noise you have listed are
our VB3 and VB4 products. These materials are called "floating barriers"
which are designed to block and reflect high energy, low frequency sound
waves.

There are two very important things to remember when installing a floor
barrier product, first you must cover the entire floor area front to back
and side to side
and secondly you must pay very close attention to detail
when performing the install to ensure that all seams and gaps are very tight
to prevent the migration of sound energy.


A dramatic reduction can be achieved if the entire floor area is covered and attention to detail is paid when performing the installation. Detail will make or break the performance of the sound control system. Just make sure to make the seams and gaps as tight as possible to prevent the migration of sound energy.

My understaning is that the partial coverage is more for doors and trunks as noise is not as much concern as the floor area, where exhaust and road noise is harsh and non stop. (this is not relating to speaker systems, as then the same approach of full coverage and attention to detail is needed) That being said, I believe it is more wise and effective to cover the whole floor to eliminate as much unwanted noise. This is all based on information gathered from the experts

Quoted from CAE:
"Treating a small area of the floorpan and not the whole thing is about as effective as screen door on a submarine"
