i have dynamated everything except the floor in my 93 diamante the trunk, lid, rear deck, back wall, and all four doors sounds so much cleaner and double layered the back of my ported box and it got rid of my port noise from my 2 12"'s and tightened every bolt down and did foam fill in cracks the dynamat couldnt do but i still have allot of rattaling from my tail lights and the trunk latch i even put a piece of exteme dynamat around that helped but didnt get rid of it any1 have any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated

Caulk.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Caulk anything that rattles. Did I need to say that?  But if you are talking about sheet metal rattling, more damping is needed. Another thing you could look at is your box tuning frequency, because it might be at just the point where the car loves to groove with it. You might consider working it up in a box-building program and seeing if a lower tuning freq (longer port) would give you better sub bass without all the accompanying rattle. ------------- Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
