Sub Installation - Vibrations

Hey, could people post things they have found that cause vibration in their cobalts? I installed my subs and amp the other day, and have noticed that the two clips that hold the carpet down behind the back seats vibrate, and the three baby seat covers vibrate mad and cause a bad listening experience.

My license plate doesnt vibrate, and I put two sided tape on those clips, and baby seat covers. Im still hearing a few vibrations, anyone know what else could be causing it.

i've been thinking about dynamat..but it is absolutely necessary to make all the vibrations stop? i was thinking besides the clips and baby belts that there could be a couple loose screws somewhere..

not to mention that poorly designed rear deck vibrating against the rear window

in my 2 door I had a 'broken clip' in the part behind the back seats where those child restraints are, it was annoying as hell and took me forever to figure out where it was coming from
