Trunk rattle....

Hey guys, i finally installed my set up yday. Made a custom enclosure mounted the amps on the sides and the Sub in the middle.For some reason the spoiler i belive is rattling and the Kicker CVR12 is only pushing 250 watt RMS and it is hitting extremly clean and hard but it rattles. I will probably buy some Dynamat and mat the trunk lid becuase that is where the problem seems to be but only could be heard outside. Is this common on the 5.5 gens?? Also the car is a SE so the Spoiler was mounted at the factory no aftermarket add-on.Thanks

My spoiler and random broken rear deck clips that won't stay in one piece are really my only remaining source of rattling. Yes it is a common problem.

99 SEL, he forgot to mention that he has >200 sq ft of deadening. Have fun trying to eliminate all rattles in any manner other than welding the trunk shut

for my trunk lid i taped the big holes on the trunklid and then pumped some expandable foam into it, works great.

however the front part where the lock is expands liek a **** and i need to get some stuff to put on there so it doesnt expand and vibrate so much

My trunk rattles somewhere around the sub woofer out of sight, I was wondering if this is a common problem in a 5th gen.
