Rattle from the back

Alright, when I stand outside my car and I've got my subs pounding, I can hear this annoying rattle coming from the right side of the hatch. It appears to be coming from where that rain collector is.
I've tried putting electrical tape between the metal and the body, but it's still there. Has anyone fixed/come across this before?

No, but it will have to survive being covered in water since it is a rain collector. I'm not sure if Dynomat can withstand outdoor condictions.

Make sure that your jack is tight in it's holder. Check the jack handle too.

My spare tire is removed along with the jack, thanks though.

I created the same thread in the 2nd gen forum for some more input.

Take the subs out. It's a sports car not a Benzo Gmoney.

Seriously Just check the panels and the hatch rods. It's most likely one of them.

The subs add, what, 60 pounds to the back of my car which translates to 0.06 seconds or so slower. I would rather have my sound quality than that extra time that you could in no way feel.

I'm certain it's from the collector, or maybe the collector is letting air pass through the seal by pressing up on it. I was just wondering if anyone else had come across this in their installs, not guess the source.

Edit: I removed the sound deadening and the spare tire + jack, so I had to keep the 50/50 weight somehow right?
