    Does anyone know how to stop the rattleing from the rear speaker column and light/glasses head column because my subs shake it to death.

    If it excessive I would make sure all the nuts are tight and to use sound deadener in these areas.

    Take off the deck cover and fire the subs. Locate the rattle(s), tighten and/or sound deaden necessary locations.

    Adding more layers significantly DECREASES any measurable gains. If you don't want rattle...find where the parts are vibrating together and stop it at that point. Resonating panels are different, that's where you throw on a sheet of second skin/seal peal/dynamat(whatever product you want). Covering 25% of the panel lowers 90% of the resonation to a lower frequency. Weight is your friend when killing out resonating panels. Vibrations between two objects is something different though.

    I have a feeling there's another purpose for your setup I'm just making sure others know!
