Marc is correct on the coverage (25%).  I don't know the amount but suspect
it depends on several factors such as location, metal type, metal
thickness, shape, et cetera.  One definitely doesn't need to do 100%.  More
work, weight, cost and less efficient fuel mpg.  The next auto deck I sound
proof will likely get the low places (depressions) with coverage and the
opposite or high areas with none.
