Default rear deck rattling with loud bass.....

I'm going to bring in the car pretty soon, however, I wanted to hear if anybody else has dealt with this (I remember seeing other posts).

I just had a pair of Image Dynamics' 12" IDQ subs built into a custom sealed enclosure, and it sounds awesome (actually it is more than I need a pair of 10" would've been fine!). I replaced a single 15" USD sub, and this new system must go deeper, because on certain frequencies I get nasty vibrations in the rear deck.

What have people done to solve this issue?

Try popping off the deck and putting a thin layer of foam underneath.

Default Here's what I did

Just watched where it was rattling the most then put a few screws in (small ones) doesnt viblrate anymore. Now the headliner does though, I think I may just dynamat my trunk.

do you still have the rear deck speakers? When I removed them much of the rattling went away.
