dynamat is not gonna solve all the rattles. You have to find the source of the rattle and deaden it. I had rattles in my car but ron sniffed them out. Sometimes dynamat makes the rattles worse....

yup ernie is right. take the carpet out for the trunk (the one part that opens) then stuff it w/ foam or padding. then carpet it back up. this is what streetz told me a while back. he said dynamat won't do it.

Have a custom shop make a bandpass enclosure that forces "accurate bass" 100% into the interior and just not a noise maker in the trunk

The best thing I used to get rid of my rattles is weatherstripping tape. I used it on the brake light that we have. Most of the rattles come from the rear deck. I also put some behind my license plate.

I dont have my sub yet but I did fool around with 2 JL 10W3's I have. That fin moves a couple inches when it gets going. I think spiro is right...a lot of rattles were coming from the back deck and the license plate. We will see when I get my sub in there and start fooling around.
