    Check the center bracket on the trunk lid springs. My bracket broke allowing the springs to rattle against each other, took me a long time to figure it out but a new $1.50 piece of plastic from the dealer fixed it.

        Mine used to when I had a sub in my old car. It ended up being the lid spring and bracket. I stuffed a sock up there until I could tighten everything down I had a few missing nuts, and added washers this time around. Also found that my license plate rattled badly too..check everything over while you have a super-bassy song on

        life is good.

          I have a pretty similar problem as well. Except my whole rear deck seems to move up and down with the bass. My tail light was making horrible noise because it was hitting the back window until i stuck some felt pads in between there. They seemed to have moved a bit and occasionally it will rattle pretty bad when it is very loud. Is there any way to tighten up the rear deck so it does not move/flex as much?

          Thanks

            What I did was dynomatted the trunk lid. I also stuck a towel up in between those metal bars underneath the deck lid to quiet the vibrations. I also removed the taillights and the license plate thing on the outside of the trunk and threw some dynomat all across that. There is also a vent that is behind the bumper that leads into the trunk. That small vent has a small flap of rubber that makes a bunch of noise also. You don't need to remove the entire bumper to get to it, just remove the side (can't remember which side).

                Oh that is a pretty good idea. Is it hard to take the rear deck cover off so you can put something under it?

                  That vent is on the driver's side. It's just below where the bumper meets the quarter panel. You won't be able to miss it OP. You can get to it easier by pulling out on the panel in the trunk. Just pull the interior back and you'll see it. I've also used double sided tape on the back of my license plate or rubber washers where you screw it on. Either works.

                    Alrighty so I will look to see if there are bolts to tighten the rear deck down. I put more felt pads on top of the tail light between the back window. The rattling sound is still there at high volume. I have not inspected the rear deck to carefully but is there a way to remove the whole thing and possibly that tail light? I guess dynomating the underside or using some kind of carpet pad is also an option. I work at a hardware store so i could easily get carpet padding. Any help would be much appreciated.

                      Open the trunk and look underneath the rear deck and you should see how to take out that light. There's a harness/plug for it and some nuts or bolts you have to remove. I haven't looked at it in a while but if I remember right that's all there is. Fold your back seat down and you can get to the trim and everything to remove the carpeted section of the rear deck. Just start pulling it apart and you'll see what to do. It's pretty straightforward. You'll need to remove the 3 or 4 nuts on each side to take out your speaker pods in the back also to get that carpet section out.
