People with absolutely zero rattling from bass, step in...

I have practically 0 rattling inside the cabin of the car. The outside, however, is another story. I have tried soundproofing/deadening several different areas of the places in the trunk where the rattles are coming from, to very little effect. I think most of the rattles are now coming from the left side of the trunk lid and the bumper. Anyone with a fairly loud system figure out a way to get rid of all the rattles? My trunk lid is dynamatted, as is my rear deck. I stuck some soft foam in several places in the trunk/lid/deck/left edge of bumper, and that helped a bit. Still, the rattling persists. Any ideas?

My rear clear corners rattle, rear bumper, and licence plate. I too have little to no rattle inside, but outside is a different story.

i am rolling ghetto fab right now. 12" brahma + 1500w rms + no sound deadening = rattles. you people with no rattles what kind of deadener did you use and how much of it was used? I want to do this car right.

i did my old sentra with peal & seal pretty much stopped all rattles. i had to shove rags between a few interior panels, but i had no rattles. it worked, but didn't look to pretty.

Well lets see.. those here who have no rattles, what setup are you running? If it's the stock Bose sub, then I can see how a full trunk kit would stop the outside rattling since there is none to begin with.

I have heard that people with fairly loud setups don't benefit much from sound deadening the entire trunk. I know Kloogy's was done all professionally, and he still has rattles from the same area as I do.

I used some weather material form ABC building supplies called "peel and seal" for the spare tire area and underneath the trunk carpet and used dynamat extreme under the deck and on top. I also put some dynamat on that peice of cardboard that is exposed from the hole where the bose subwoofer is suppose to be.
