Air Outlets in Trunk

Hey peeps, got a question for ya' For those of you who are familiar with your trunk, you may have discovered the black "vents" under the carpeting on each side. Well, I know they act as air outlets to let air out of the trunk when you close it, but both vents vibrate when my subs hit, and make an annoying little "rattling". What would happen if I taped those vents shut? And if I did tape them shut, would anything get messed up in my trunk or elsewhere? Thanks a lot!

Well first of all I realized that there is only a vent on the left side of the trunk, and second of all I stuffed some polyester pillow stuffing into the vent and taped half of it shut. Now it doesn't vibrate, but air can still get through. Excellent .

Well, thanks for helping, if anyone intended to [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG] [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]
