Trunk Rattle?!

I juist got two 12" coustic subs and a coustic amp + some other audio equipment installed. Now, after spending alot of money, I have found out that my trunk rattles from the outside (inaudible from the inside, inside sounds amazing). I have bought dynamat extreme but I am trying to figure out how else to stop the trunk from rattling. It only rattles when closed.

I have a 96 GXE and am trying to get some suggestions...

remove the plastic/carpet thing from under the lid. It causes most of the rattling. dynamat the licence plate. and under the plastic trim piece right where the trunk latch is.

look at my install on my website and do your own. Trust me it isnt worth paying to get it done. Just spend the extra time and do it. Honestly, I didnt even think it was even that hard after the install... Cartoys right, charges 350?
