When I installed my sub I double layered the dynamat on the entire trunk lid and behind the license plate area of the trunk (the part that doesnt face you when you open the trunk). I also put 3 layers of dynamat directly onto the back of my lisence plate. I didn't dynamat the whole trunk and the only rattle I have from a 10w7 sub is the little microphone for the OnStar under my mirror.

I hear Dynamat isn't all it's cracked up to be, someone told me you can get similar stuff at Home Depot for like 1/5 the cost. I don't have any experience with Dynamat so I'm just repeating what was told to me. As long as my system sounds good to me I don't really care if my spoiler rattles, most of the time I don't have it turned up enough for the spoiler to rattle anyway. If there is a cheap solution to make it not rattle I'll do that, but I'm not losing any sleep over it.

best way to do it is by removing your spoiler, put 2 layers of double sided sticky tape underneath it so it acts like a coushin
for the license plate, just remove it and put a big sponge behind it and problem solved
btw..this is how i did it on my 00 lude and worked very well

just commenting on the post up there about the Home Depot product, a guy in my town did his trunk with insulation (i believe it was housing insulation) and it was a lot cheaper than dynomat, and there was absolutely no trunk rattle after that...good luck with ur car
