Rattles are hard to trace sometimes. They sound like they are coming from one place and are actually from somewhere else entirely. Cool that it worked out.

My mirror rattles and vibrates to the extent that i cannot see out of it. It will fall down so it angles at my back seat when the bass hits. Is there anything i can to to make it rattle less? strip of dynamat on the back? new bolts? new mirror all together? any advice on this one?

It is better to remain queit and have others think u are dumb, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

glad to see it was something so simple as the mirror. It would have been a really serious problem if the windsheild itself was rattling its joints. Sounds like u got a real serious setup there with that 22hz drop.
dj, I had the same problem when I first installed my old RF's in my stratus, the mirror would angle down and eventually fall off. I'd suggest going to a store where u can get a perminate adhesive (Walmart, homedepot, etc) and attach the mirror to the windshield panel directly (I know alot of mirrors are slide on slide off). This wont solve the mirror shaking but it will greatly reduce it to the point that you should be able to see as well as it will prevent the mirror from rattling, though it'll look like ur seeing drunk or something when the bass is going lol.

I had the exact same problem in my old intrepid (and now in the concorde). The solution was to simply buy a new mirror at Kragen (or whichever auto parts store you prefer). It set me back about $20, and it still vibrates, but it doesn't re-aim itself, and it doesn't rattle.
Your mileage may vary, though. :)
Sounds like you had the same crappy mirror, XtreamCC.. Stratus is probably not that different from the intrepid (just a little smaller) so it makes a lot of sense.
Yeah, I'm getting some pretty serious bass. I'm gonna scoot on over to guitar center tomorrow and pick up a Behringer ECM8000 mic, mate it with a Motu 828 firewire audio interface and a laptop, and run TrueRTA, so that I can calibrate things. After that, I'll hopefully have a nice looking frequency response curve to show, and listen to :).
