How to remove license plate rattle

Well I am in the process of buying 2 12" subs and they will shake around the license plate holder thingy whateverucalllit. What is a cheap way that I can stop that from rattling? I dont wanna drill any holes...

if you dont want to drill holes, sound deadening behind the plate if your best bet

wallmart solution, bought a clear license plate shield and just tightened it real good in there, since the license plate thing in not in the trunk but in the bumber it never vibrated that much anyways, but now its 0%, now moving on to bigger problems, the trunk.

what I did was get that velcro sticky tape stuff even the cheap stuff and peel it apart , use only the fuzzy side and line the back of the plate , pop 2 holes for the bolts and your good to go, no more noise

i thought you were all about saving money? you are going to pay out the *** for the Dynamat alone, let alone to get it installed at a shop. When I worked at a car audio shop, we did a whole truck cab and I think we charged a couple hundred bucks for the labor. its a LOT of work. get some FatMat and do it yourself!

they might, check ebay. but i do know that for the same price as 100 sq ft of FatMat, you could get a Dynamat trunk kit consisting of only like 4 pieces of sound deadening....

Quick question here, the subs shake the dome lights in my car, and if I put my hand and put pressure on it I can easily block out the rattle, is there any way I can fix that?
