Default Rattles C6 Vert

I hate rattles, 2005 Vert, with upgraded stereo and subwoofer.

I have the interior fairly rattle proofed, but I can not locate at rattle that is heard outside the car, seems to be from the quarter panel areas.

Have insulated the plastic fender liner edges, brake cooling duct, backup lights, marker light, trunk struts, license plate, trunk storage compartment, trunk lid, tonnoe (sp), tail lights, truck latch and key, wiring behind bumper, metal liner over exhaust is tight exhaust/ suspension are tight, just about everything to no avail.

I guess a next step would be to remove the trunk interior trim?

I do not have the vibration, noise tool with headset.

It is an annoying rattle generated by heavy bass note music.

Anyone find a rattle like I am describing?
Any leads on something I may be overlooking?

Again, any comments are welcomed

More clarity/ info added.

Still rattles with the quarter panel plastic fender inners removed and the trunk lid open.
Does not appear to be the lower rear defussior area, or any of the lower areas of the car.

Seems the source of the rattle is between the side trunk interior trim and the quarter..somewhat invisible rattle source until I remove the interior trim.

Anyone experience this?
What should I look for?
