What is actually rattleing? If its hardware I would recommend putting in a sound/heat barer such as Dynamat or there are a couple of kits you can get from forum vendors. Not only will this help with road noise and heat it will give you the chance to check all the hardware to make sure its all tight and no fastners are loose or missing.

The bass makes several areas rattle. I was trying to remember what vendor had a good kit meant for the doors that had form fitting parts and some other stuff to help stop the rattles and even make the sound better. It may have been dynomat. Thanks.

Check with Dennis at Double D mods if he does not have the kit you can check with Rick at raamaudio or WWW.CORVETTEMODS.COM for the sound deading kit.
You will see a noticeable improvement from road noise and heat with either the kit or dynamat, i would recommend doing this not matter what, but if the sound waves from the bass is causing other parts to rattle this will not stop that. You will have to find out exactly what is loose, i.e. glove box cover and then do what is needed to stop that from rattling. I have this issue with the trim pieces around the seat belts and it's because one of the plastice attachement points is broken so I will have to get a new one and install it to stop the rattle. Good luck.
