Rattling/Vibration

Okay guys, Driving a 93 PreludeSR with a pretty simple setup but it sounds loud. All infinity kappa mids/components 6.5", 1 12" L7 Solobarik, 1 3 farad CAP, 1 RF power bd1000 amp for the sub and a punch400a for the mids. Stereo is great, nice and loud but it rattles before i can ever push it at all. Most of the problem is the trophy case [part that seperates the trunk and the back seat from the rear windsheild. 2 6.5 mounted there and i think the mounting brackets are rattling a little because the installers only used 2 of the 3 screws cuz of space i think, either that or they blew off, trophycase vibrates like mad when i turn up the bass especially at certain frequencies. Also the roof mounted taillight on the inside, that housing also rattles quite a bit. Is it necessary to fully dynamat the entire car, is it worth it? If i dynamat the trunk will that fix the trophycase vibration? Should i install a new thicker trophycase. Basically, help me fix this gross noise, im big into home audio so ive always been an SQ guy but i wanted some ground shakin' in this car. The kicker does it to a degree, i dont really hear much outside the car tho, also its not a great sq sub i dont think, might go for some type X 10s but until then i need to know whats the best course of action to help my poor old rattly car from exploding.

I think you should know what the problem is before you ask! Don't be lazy go back there and figure it out, bring a screwdriver and fix it.

If the professional installation isn't good they should have the integrity to fix it free of charge if it is from their installation.

Well as for the obvious problem, there is no space back there and i dont have a tool to fix it in such space otherwise i would trust me. as for the trophycase obviously not related to that neither is the taillight cover any suggestions rather then critisisms?

Hes not critisizing, hes preventing you from wasting our time. Its your car, we dont know whats wrong with it, try screwing things secure.

.

Like i said the trophy case is rattling as well as the taillight cover, they are both locked in the same way they were stock. the speaker grills it an obiouvs problem that ill have to try and deal with myself just thought someone might have had a lude and had the same problem. the taillight thing is on an angle and comes down to about 6 inched down the rear windshield, the small amount of space inbetween the plastic and glass is whats rattling there, wonderin if someone has ever siliconed that problem or something before thats why im posting here. the trophy case i was hoping someone could tell me something like could i replace the case itself with a better wood or surface and if so how would i go about installing it or where i could purchase it. didnt realize i actually would be wasting your time, sorry.
