Now that I have my half way finished system installed :P Ive noticed the crazy shaking of the back half of my car. I only have 2 10' xmax's and they rattle the hell outa my car. There a 2 things I hate in this world the first is something I dont want to get into and the second is rattles. If I leave the subs in the trunk as they are I was planning on making the trunk look really nice and putting v-block in it to stop the rattles, but now that ive thought about it for awhile istead of spending some big bucks on that trunk, I could spend about the same cash and build a wall or take my back seat out and build a smaller wall where the back seat was with the speakers facing right into the cabin. The wall Seems like a overkill with only 2 10's but the other idea with taking the back seat out is that it may still rattle the trunk. I want to get them out of the trunk though just to gain a few db's. Would this be worth it or not.
Remember my main focus here is a rattle free or I should say no MAJOR rattles on my car.

Thanks for all the help guys!

Perhaps just tightening up the mount to the lock, putting a layer of dynamat (a trunk liner) on the under side of the trunk, and screwing your liscence plate down tight will cure your ills??

The trunk lid itself is not that much of a problem, but the panels,muffler, rear deck, and im sure couple other I havent found yet..

Systematically find each offender and either damp, tighten, silicone, or screw it tight until they are all gone!
Or build a pathway into the car for the bass, so it doesn't pump the trunk so bad.
