New subs

I just put new subs in my car and I am getting a nasty rattle where the back speakers are located. I was wondering what other people to try to solve this problem. By the way I have a Cobalt LS, any help would be much appreciated.

you should put some dynamat/towels along the very back of the rear deck lid (where its touching the window) because the deck lid slams up against the metal on the actual rear deck

im not very good at explaining things

do you know what exactly is rattling? because the little poppers that you pull to fold back seat that use to rattle real bad in my car until i tighten up the screws that hold them in place just to put that out there.
