Rattle going to be an issue?
I find myself asking more and more questions in my head daily with the upcoming audio upgrade. I am going to have a 10" Solo Baric L5 in the center compartment of my coupe. It's going to be getting a little more than 200 watts. How much of a problem is the hatch going to be as far as rattling goes?

Well that's great to know. The last hatchback car I had was a 95 Camaro and I had two 10"s in the back of that. Thing rattled like a baby's toy so it had me concerned about this hatch as well.

Oh yeah,I'll be doing some. Won't be trying to get tomb silence just some improvements. But that hatch was kinda a big wonder considering you can't get inside it to put deadener in or anything.

I don't notice the hatch rattling on my c6 at all. I actually don't hear any rattles, yet anyway 
Funny story though, I drove the car to work yesterday and everything was fine. I get in to go home, fine still. On the ride home, I was playing some old school bass tracks at a "spirited" level. I get home and walk behind the car to go in the house and notice the far left tail light hanging down the back of the car! Only thing I can guess is that the screw worked itself loose? Weird..... Anyway, no scratches that I can see, some loctite on a new screw and it's all good again.
