    I installed 2 12" Kicker Subwoofers not to long ago. But now i am starting to get a rattling sound from the big plastic cover that is located behind the rear seats/ below the rear window. this is from the bass of the subwoofers. the problem is that i dont know how to stop this rattling noise....anyone know of a way/have suggestions?

    Try come Coremat or you can even run a small bead of silicone around the edge (where it can't be seen) and but it back on. But a couple of heavy book or dumbbells on it to push it down. This will dry and hold the panel down and minimize the rattling.
