Fixing the rattle of the rear deck?

I just put in two Infinity Reference 6x9's in my rear deck to replace the stock ones. If the bass is turned all the way up, the deck rattles like no other. Is there any way to at least dampen it a little bit?

Thanks

I got rid of a lot of the rattle by just pushing up the little plastic covers for those child seat hooks. And then taking a little piece of foam and sticking in between the two pieces of metal that hit eachother. You can see them from the trunk, but most of the rattle for me was in those 3 little covers that you can just push up.

lol they are barely turned up.
but im gonna throw some foam or towels or something up under there.
i think most of the rattle, right now, is because i dont have the quater panels on, andthey kinda hold the deck into place, so ill put those back on and see what happens.

Thanks

I used several t-shirts and stuck them all under different spots under the cover. It raised the cover and stopped every rattle from there.
