i have two 12's in my trunk and when i play the music loud and i stand outside the car, i can hear the whole back of the trunk rattling like crazy. It seems like it is coming from the back hatch where it flips down but i can't seem to find a way to stop this. I don't want my car to play all this loud rattling so does anyone have a solution? If i dynomatted my trunk, would it get rid of the rattling completely? thx

Do you have a plastic license plate frame? The commonly rattle plus play it and hold your license plate it may also be vibrating.

To fix this problem, try going to your local Auto Parts dealer and buy some rubber tubing (around 3/4" in diameter would be fine). Cut it into 1-2 inch pieces. Then use some strong adhesive and stick it back between your license plate and the body of your car. Unfortunately, the license plate is only anchored by 2 screws. If Honda had used 4 screws, we wouldn't have had this problem.

I totally agree. Good solution ktsnake!

Another way you can do this is to buy yourself a couple of stick on rubber bumpers and actually stick them to the car behind the plate.
