Ok well heres my problem, from the inside my bass sounds extremely good. But from the outside the trunk is just vibratnig way to much and you can hear it. If I push down on the trunk a bit it seems to stop vibrating. Is it possible to make the trunk close tighter, or to somehow just make it stop vibrating so dang much.

more then likely its your plastic rattling from inside

I removed all the plastic till i find a way to fasten it, and i also adjusted the hatch latch so its a tighter fit. (all u need is a wrench to loosen the bolt on the latch)

Yeah adjust the hatch latch or from what I hear a lot of people from the mailing list use eletrical tape around it and it stops it from rattling.

If it was the plastic rattling on the inside, he'd be able to hear the noise on the inside too.

I'd adjust the trunk latch to make it pull closed tighter.

Ghetto.

I never said I did that, but if you want a quick temp. fix, thats how you do it. Adjusting the latch is easy enough but some people are lazy and want the quick way out.

also..all the wiring the runs along the hatch(underneath the plastic)... silicone it down...u can also try doing that to the plastics but i didnt have much luck with that

i found that the damn housing for my rear wiper was ratteling...so I took it all off (saved abt 25Lbs) and stopped the rattle! C'mon who REALLY uses that wiper anyways??? Plus it looks sweet witout the wiper.

Pull the trim off the latch attached to the body. There is a bolt into the body on each side. Loosen both bolts, and try to push the latch mechanism down some more and bolt down while holding it in the new position. Pretty much the same for any car - hatch or trunk.

Hey when we're you robbed???That is appauling! DAmn ppl can't appriciate that you can afford a killer system, so they steal it. Death penalty for that!
