use weatherstripping tape. I used that between my license, and it worked great. I also used the tape, and put it around the rear brake light. BIG difference.

Perhaps your tools to fix a flat etc.....?

Try putting some mids and highs with the same amount of power that is on your subs???? If it is outside ratlles, try a few hundred dollars worth of Dynamat....

Yeah I got 3 12's in my trunk it does the same thing. Dynomat is the way to go.Check around the rear brakelight but most of the noise is coming from the deck lid of the trunk. If you want to see turn it up and stand behind your car put your hand in various places on your trunk and apply pressure.If the noise subsides that is where you need to work. Ihave know people who have even gone as far as to put a pillow in the trunk, because it takes the concusion and lessens the vibration.

I have the same problem. No spoiler, not the brake light. I know its the trunk itself - the part where the very lip of the trunk meets the metal. It vibrates like crazy.

For some reason, only the ppl with Solo-Baric L7s seem to get this...

Did you fix your prob yet? I'd like to know if there's a simple solution.

What I did was face the subs inward toward the passager seats. The reason why it rattles a lot of times is because the subs ae facing outward and it lingers in the trunk and trembles everything. Unless you want the added weight of dynamat and the few hundred bucks in cost..you cmay want to consider facing the subs inward. you lose SOME bass but those L7's have enough bass to go around.
