Default Mine rattle everything, even stuff under the car and the rear bumper.
I put dynamat in the trunk lid but that did not help it from rattling.

Default Face them foward. If you have a custom enclosure built so they fit flush against the rear seats....
...it should reduce most of the rattling. Dynamating the trunk lid will also help.

Ported = High SPL. Low sound quality. Keep those babies in a sealed box!

I have a heavy sealed single 12" box being powered by about 200 watts. Sounds tight and no rattles.

Do sealed boxes produce the same amount of trunk rattle as ported or bandpass boxes?
