Thumbs down Need to locate a rattle

What in the rear of the Cobalt is the most rattle? It isn't the license plate.

Looking for input from the audio gurus who turn the Cobalts into bass cars.

I just have two 12s pushed by a 1000watt amp nothing major, just want that rattle taken care of. Doesn't sound good on the outside.

I think it's something above the fuel cell by the rear bumper...maybe a support?

I had a horrible rattle and it was those anchors for child seats or whatever on the rear dash... The tabs just pop right out, and i have never had a rattle since!

It could be the panel in the back hitting the rear window, just my guess. I put some towels under it and I'm pushing 2 12's with 2000watts and rattles except for the rearview mirror.

What rear view mirror?

When I am pushing my system it knocks my mirror off and into my cup holders. Tightening the screw does nothing...I need to loctite the SOB. But yeah when my stereo is thumping I can't focus on objects in the rear view so I just use my side mirrors.
