Rattling hatch and license plate

Hey everyone. So, I got my new subs in my 87 Camaro, two 12" Audiobahns (I like 'em a lot, not the greatest sound quality, but plenty of volume). Anyways, my box is big and ported, so it takes up most of the back, with the subs facing the glass of my hatchback. Whenever I have them turned up, the hatch shakes a little, but mostly my flip-down license plate rattles like a crazy person. Anyone ever had this problem and have any suggestions? Thank you very much

Heh, I got all ghetto with my license plate rattling back when I had two 12" Xplodes. Check it out...take a piece of cardboard, cut it to the size of the plate, punch two holes for the screws, then screw it in place between the plate and the mounting place. It honestly made a world of difference and only took a total of 10 minutes, LOL! Other than that...go for some dynomat or sound deadening stuff.

the things that rattle the most back there are the tail lights, license plate, and the plastic panels back there...

I cut up an old mudflap to fit behind my tag and I have had no problems since.
