Default Trunk vibrations

What do you guys do to stop those nasty vibrating sounds from having a sub in the trunk. I know dynomat should be a choice, but before i go out and buy it i want to hear other peoples suggestions

I used strategically placed bubble wrap, but that's just me...

dynamat makes an incredible difference if you install it properly. Less trunk rattle and bass sounds better inside the car in general

at walmart they sell 3M Sound Deadening spray for like $7
Try spraying the entire inside of your trunk lid with it (besides the part where the inner taillights are; cover them on the inside with some masking tape)

I did this and it seemed to help a lot

you dont need to spend alot of money at all to fix trunk rattling!

first thing to do is find out what is ACTUALY RATTLING! push and pull all over the trunk lid and taillights, bumper cover blablabla.
sometimes its the smallest part that is rattling that makes the most noise!
my 2 trouble spots on my 99ex lid was the plastic liscence plate cover. and the liscence plate itself.
my fix was some peel and seal, gutter sealer stuff kinda like dynamat and some camper shell foam. i used the peel and seal around the back of the plastic trim panel, and used some hot glue and camper shell foam between the liscence plate.
