not buying such large rims and low profile tires.

Or........a ton of mass loading on the trunk lid. or......turning the subs around so they are facing forwards and sealing the trunk off behind the front baffle.

try using hood pins all around it, like 10 of them as they apply pressure to hold it down more evenly

turning down the volume. depends on install and vehicle really some trunks a little dampener and they will be fine others completly everhauling the trunk tons of dampener added gaskets to create more pressure on lid redesigning the box

sound deadener will definitely help with the crappy rattling sound. i dont know why people think that when their car falls apart, thats its impressive.

i dont think he was talking about the rattle as much as the truck lid flexing so much.

i know i stuffed my trunk lid wt old clothes, its hella heavy and doesn't stay up by itself, on the other hand the rattle just moved to the side panels

in this case the two are related, though. The rattle is caused by the trunk lid moving an inch. mass load it and the movement goes away, and hence the rattle as well.
