Thanks
Ok this is what i basically did with the trunk, i did what this diy says, but added more. Ok first i used expanding foam(the ones you can buy at walmart in a can) then took the lid off(unscrewed it and layed it on a matt) then i used the expanding foam on all the areas except for the spots that could interfear with the trunks functions(such as the hinges for the lock and the bar) basically just use a flashlight and look into it and see if theres anything there that might be important. Then shoot the expandable foam as far as you can into the lid and let it rest for a little because it will expand a lot. Then go back after about an hour or so and spray more until you are done the entire trunk. Basically your whole trunk should be filled, if not close to almost full. Then i used 2 layers of fatmatt to cover the entire lid with the sound dampener. Then i covered the walls of the trunk with 2 layers of fatmat. That got the lid from not rattling but the liscense plate still rattled. I know this is a ghetto solution but this is the BEST way to get rid of it, it will NEVER rattle again, well i took a medium sized sponge and taped it to the back of the plate, you never notice it unless you open your trunk and look at it, trust me this is a good way to get rid of it. Ok and if this all doesnt work then put your bass real high and get out of the car and listen to the rattle(while the trunk is closed), now if its rattling then get on top of the lid(sit on it) and if it stops rattling then that basically told you the seals not tight enough. To get rid of the raddle i would reccomend using a little strip of fattmat on the rubber gourmets( i think thats how you spell it, lol). Another problem that sometimes occurs is that the bumper rattles. Again put your bass up and hold your back bumper firmly, if it stops rattling then you know its the bumper. Well the thing about this one is that i dont know the solution yet, lol...I just had this problem about 2 days ago because my sister backed into her car with my car, and it didnt ruin the body cuz she was going like 2 miles/hour, but it made the bumper start rattling. I'll keep you guys poster when I get a chance to fix the problem. OH yeh, and if you already covered your lid with a sound deadener and you still want to fill it with expandable foam then just cut holes in the areas that you know you can fill it up with the foam, then fill it up, and then cover them back up again. Now thats all i have done, because mine no longer rattles, at all, but basically figure out what the problem area is and work from there.

Wow I really hope your foreign or drunk.
And taking off the liscense plate would be illegal, do as I said, tape a sponge to the back of the plate.
whats this about bolting the bottom of the plate down?
because my plate the bottom freakin pops out and looks horrible, it WOULD look much much better bolted down right, but i dont want to just drill holes into my trunk, id rather do it right...
I have 2 12's runnin at 1100 a piece and I eliminated most of the "trunk funk" from facing my subs towards the back of the seats, plus it makes for a really nice looking install.
I have noticed that even with my stock speakers (don't have my subs in quite yet), I have a small but noticable rattle on my door. I think it is caused by the uh... not sure what the part is called, the button you push when you wnat to lock the doors, waht you would push down if you didn't have power door locks. The name for this part just escapes me. But anyway, it vibrates and is kind of annoying and worries me about what will happen once the subs go in
yo that worked pretty good, i have one 12" JL W3v2 in a vented box with a JL amp and it used to rattle the lid like crazy, but now it's pretty much all gone. But the thing is my trunk doesnt close when i put the plastic cover back on. i loosened the rubber stoppers a little and it closed, but the rattle was still there. so right now i just have the platic cover off cuz it sounds the best with out it. is there a way to put the cover on while keeping the lid nice and tight??? PEACE
