I just put a sub in my 2000 SE and the whole trunk vibrates. Does anyone know of a method for quieting this besides dynamax? I bought some but I haven't installed it yet....

Try looking at the license plate on the trunk.

This bothered me for months before I figured most of the rattling was actually coming from the license plate and bracket on the trunk.

Thanks,
I just exchanged the JL audio sub I had for a tighter Eclipse, and the problem's almost gone. I noticed your windows are smoked/tinted. How much was that and where did you have it done? I have the same color max. with the 17" factory rims......

I had the tint done at a place in North Bergen (NJ) on Kennedy Blvd called Precision Solar Film. Cost was around 225. Back window all one piece, lifetime warranty on peeling and fading.
Excellent work.. the edges on all the opening windows is about 1mm.. I'll take a picture.

another rattle

check to see if that ugly peice of cardboard thing that covers the spare tire is rattling.. if it is, lay a layer of sponge or clother between it and the tire. u'll b fine after that, wires dangling makes sound too. also tighten your stock jack, the interior trip panels tend to rattle too.
