Jaycar Electronics
Jaycar sell heaps, and it's much cheaper than Dynamat. The only thing better about Dynamat is their marketing! Bitumen and some tin foil is bitumen and tin foil, there aint much to it!

If you dont have the $$$ to buy dynamat, either save you pennies untill you have enough for what you need (which wont be much if its going in the ute) or if you REALLY want SD now, then use the Jaycar stuff.....its ok but i'd use 2 layers of it, one dosent really do much im my opinion.

depends what you want really!
i used septone body deadener on my pillers, floorpan ( inside and underbody) arches, parcel shelf, inside roof, boot floor, firewall, and when the engine was being swapped i hit the engine bay with it and just used some jaycar mats for the doors and top of boot with and althouhg a pain in the arse job imho well worth doing protects against rust, and [ slightly] improves your sound...

Hmm... well I take that back then! 
That said, I used two packs of Dynamat Extreme on my old VT, and I never really felt like I got my moneys worth from it. I got it relatively cheap on eBay, but even so it wasn't all that they make it out to be.
I did the inner and outer panels of the doors, plus the boot. If I'd known about the Jaycar stuff I reckon I would have tried that and been a few hundred bucks richer for it!
PS. search Jaycar for "sound deadener", they have a bunch of products, I only chose that one because it looked the closest to Dynamat.
PPS. one thing Dynamat has going for it is you get free stickers (if that's your thing! )

I wouldn't buy Dynamat either because its so expensive, I imported RaamMat which is another Butyl based sound deadener which performs very well but is cheaper than Dynamat Xtreme. All Butyl sound deadeners are reasonably expensive though as its an expensive product.
