Trunk rattle / amp layout

I just got a 15" Orion XTR in box for $40 and of course I had to take out my spare tire and knock out some metal supports for the tire, but i got it in my car. It sounds amazing now with my 2 10's but now my trunk rattles more than ever. The whole taillight unit shakes like crazy and im wondering what the best solution to fix this would be? Also, i'm trying to figure out how to position the 2 amps and crossover where i can still have a little bit of storage space. Maybe build some type of amp rack on the left and leave the the space to the right of the 15 open? What are your ideas to make this look sweet? Thanks


(Wiring is all crazy. I will make it look pretty, this was just testing)

1. Dynamat the entire trunk.
2. Get a piece of MDF. cover it. mount to the left and attach amps and crossover.

rattles and rack problem solved.

Personally I would pull the 10s out and just run the 15. Because running multiple size/brand subs in pre-made boxes is pretty ghetto half ass looking IMO. Now if they were all the same brand and in a single custom box it could be made to look decent. But its going to be hard to make that right there look good and professional.

That looks, and probably sounds like ****. I'd just pull it all and make my own box and buy some quality subs and amps.

ya man, you got yourself into a big mess. Just junk all the boxes and make or buy a new box to put all the subs in then just put the other crap either behind or ontop of it. Also, dynomat would somewhat help reduce rattling, depending on how extensive you do it.

Well, I took your advice and ditched the 15. On the inside it sounded nice but outside my car rattled like no other. I also didint have any room at all in my trunk with that. I ended up using some spare MDF and Carpet and made 2 racks on either side of the box. I think it looks great.
