The thing about gt mat is it is a deadener. it serves to stop resonance of the panels, so you actually only need 25% coverage with this type of item. the mlv is what really serves as a sound barrier. adding extra of the dampener is actually just added weight. it doesnt actually block the sound.

found this thread when i searched for information comparing gtmat (the stuff your buddy used) and sds mlv.
