I have a car so i'm kinda limited on space for my subs except the trunk, and it rattles and sounds like **** what should i do to reduce the metal vibration and make it sound better
Get some dynamat, that's the best solution for stopping metal vibrations. Or you can try some Noise Killer (RF product) which is supposed to be really good for trunks/hatches. First though I would try to pinpoint where the rattling is coming from, you may or may not need dynamat or similar products if you can stop it with other things. For instance, trunk latches are notorious for rattling, so put a piece of electrical tape around the "u" part of it to stop the metal to metal vibrations. If you have plastic panels in the trunk you can either remove them (best option), or do anything you can to keep them from vibrating against the metal, which means you could fix the problem by just cramming tape, foam, rubber, etc. between the plastic and the metal. Little fixes here and there can significantly stop the rattling. For instance, I heard that if you stuff polyfill between the plastic panels and the metal (while re-installing) it will keep it from rattling. If your license plate rattle then put a piece of foam behind it and then screw it down tight against it. You can use a piece of rubber foam to keep the rear-view mirror rattling down to a minimum. If the metal itself is vibrating loudly though then dynamat or some other sound deadener is the only option. There are a lot of things you can do, just try different things.
