Kicker Hideaway

Unfortunately, I didn't take photos before I took it back out and decided to work on mounting it behind the driver seat, where I really wanted it.

The problem I've run into now, with it strapped to the plastic panel behind the back driver seat? It looks great, but it makes everything rattle when the bass hits.

I even tried taking some 1/8" foam insulation tape and putting a strip of it along the bottom of the Hideaway, where it touches the rear shelf, and stuffed some fiber fill material behind the amp, to stop it from vibrating against the plastic panel it's strapped against. That only helped marginally.

I fear that the only way to eliminate the rattle is tearing out the plastic trim all the way around back there and putting Dynamat in. That's way more work than I wanted to go through. I had zero rattle/vibration issues with it sitting in the back hatch.

So now I'd love to get other suggestions, since I already had to drill 4 holes i the rear plastic trim to mount the straps/belts that hold the Kicker Hideaway up against it.
