rattling woofer (searched)!
ran a search couple of time already, couldn't find a solution to it. it's so annoying once you jack up the volume w/ some bass....
i'v try to stick some soft cloth under it, didn't work
i couldn't even locate the exact location of the rattle now w/ all the fustrations
<S.O.S>

I HEAR YA, i hate that rattling from the stock sub back there, sucks. I tried sticking some thick foam in the underside of the trunk area around there to silence some of that but it did NOTHING. I don't even think it can be silenced really.

I have a similar rattle, but its comming from the ceiling of the car towards the back, like my lining is loose or something. I tried pressing around the sides to see if it was a loose clip or something. So while we're on the topic, what could I do to make it stop?

take the cover off and see if you can get more foam tape under it to keep more upward pressure on it to help from rateling

What I did was tapped around on the metal deck and wherever it resonated the most I put down small pieces of matt. After that I put down 3-4 layers of liquid deadener. I also put 4 layers of the liquid stuff on the two covers and plastic center piece. I found that the covers resonated the most.
