Can anyone tell me how many square feet of heat insulator/sound deadener is needed to do the cabin and trunk floor of an Alpine or Tiger? Any input will be much appreciated.

Please don't buy a cheap substitute (Eastwood), I did once and have regretted it every since and every day, it melts at room temperature and drips all oven the floor from "any" small hole in the Alpine.
I utilized a box of Dynamat (Dynamat 10455 Xtreme Bulk Pak Sound Deadener Thermal Barrier 36 SQ. Ft) and a 2 gallon bucket of Lizard Skin (Lizard Skin 2203-2 Sound Control Formula 2-Gallons) in Blue Boy.
I would advise you to use a variety of different sound proofing products, not just Dynamat (which is excellent). If you want the car to be nicely quiet inside you want to catch a very wide range of frequencies as well just shielding yourself from outside noises. We used meltable bitumen sheets on the inside of the floors and all over the inside of the rear wheel arches, aluminium backed rubber along the outside of the transmission tunnel, dynacoat on the inside of the transmission tunnel and on the inside of the bulkhead, Silent coat 4mm inside the door skins and under the bonnet (hood) etc.
The car is extremely quiet and other Alpine owners always comment on that when riding in her.
