Cool System Installed

So I installed my subs and amp, using the factory deck. I used the "How too" on CSS.NET FTW

The sound is good, but the rear dash rattle is absolutley terrible!!! i had to turn my amp way way down, and now i cant use my over powered system to its potential cause i hate rattle!!!!

Any suggestions on the rattle?

BTW system is 2 12" kicker comps in kicker livin loud box, with mtx 6001 class d @4ohms with stinger digital cap run with 4awg wire

take out your hat rack and put packing foam or speaker box carpet around all the plugs and wires. And make sure your 6x9s are tight. You may also want to hot glue the caps for the child restaints.thats what i did after i put in solid motor mounts. It helped a lot
