e-dead is not near as good as B-Quiet. B-Quiet is better than Dynamat.

All in all very cheap DIY to create comfort.

B-Quiet on the floor and lower front firewall... Rubber butyl mat with aluminum foil backing. Very effective, and very easy to work with. A single layer was plenty of added mass on most places.

The cheapest material out there, eDead_45, was not near as effective (if much at all...), the glue was not 'permanent', very minimum mass. It was too thin. But it was extremely clean and easy to apply, and being super cheap, I used it for double and triple layers in the trunk and under the rear seats (large horizontal surfaces).

How did you deaden the doors? I assume that you used B-Quiet? Did you use other material?

Yep. B-Quiet, about 15 sq ft per door, double layers in the middle/most vibrating areas. Then I stuffed closed cell foam mattress material in the bottom, behind the speaker, and generally all around. And that was it.

I did not do anything to replace the moisture barrier, because when I opened the door I did not see any evidence of water having ever leaked in there. It was all clean and dry. - After 62,000 miles with harsh winter weather!

I also didn't do anything with the plastic door panel itself, other than replacing broken clips/fasteners with new ones (box of 30 cost $15 in a local upholstery store). The plastic didn't seem to vibrate when I had sound coming out of the door speaker.

Great. I just got all my sound deadening stuff shipped last week. Thanks for the tips.
