My rear seats are alive!!!

I just finished installing my system last night and was playing around with it this afternoon. While playing some bassy rap, i looked at the back and the seats where moving back and fourth about an inch or two and the rear deck was moving about a half inch or so. Funny sight. (never had a car with a trunk b4, 2 hatchbacks b4 this) I already ordered some FATMAT to do the trunk and deck lid with and plan on taking the rear speakers out then as well because they are the sub makes them rattle. Anyone know some real bad rattle areas to look out for while i'm doing my deadener install?

What way are you subs facing, are they facing towards the back of the seats or are they facing toward the trunk. Make sure they are facing the trunk and put that fatmat everywhere. The biggest problem I have is the trunk, my loose exhaust(it's stock from 95). Also make sure to put foam under the deck lid where you rear speakers are.

i stood outside my car with the stereo on today and I can tell that my led in my spoiler is rattlingreal bad and the area where M A X I M A is on the trunk is rattling really really bad. I don't think anything is going to stop it completely, maybe just muffle it a little bit. And I'm pretty sure my exhaust is rattling too, (95 stock like yours) and the area behind the license plate (no the license plate itself, go figure?) is moving around a lot. I'll have to and spray some foam down in there or something cause these not much room to work with in there.

yeah. i already bought two cans of the large area great stuff in the black can earlier this week. Haven't gotten around to using it yet cause I want to plan out where I will use it and where I will use my FATMAT cause once you start using a can, it seems as it you have to use it all cause the stuff just dries in the tube and you can't use it again later.

BTW, i also took a little 1 min video of my bible (came with the car when my mom gave it to me, so i leave it in there) bouncing up and down on the rear deck lid, only problem is I can't get it online yet.
