Nasty Rattles

I have a 12 inch fosgate, in the back, and im getting a rattle near my passenger door side. It is coming mostly from the area of the seatbelt connects to the B pillar. Has anyone else had this problem? And is there a simple way to fix. I usually don't care about rattles, but when it is inside the cabin, it starts to bother me. I have tried to move the sub around in my trunk for different setup but it just will not go away.

Anytime you put a significant amount of bass in a car its gonna cause rattles & the rattles will get worse as time goes on. The bass is loosening things up over time & after they are loosened, even without anymore bass, it will get worse. When you put subs in a car you HAVE to continually check all your bolts & retighten them as needed. Thats the ONLY way to eliminate rattles caused by the subs. I have gone through that for 7-8 years.

Dynamat will help, but it won't totally eliminate the problem.
