Bass Rattles?

Does anyone notice any rattles when your listening to song with bass?? I cant find ant in the car, but if I step out I can hear both my side skirts rattle like crazy. It sounds like shit! Anyone else notice this? I figured most cars would do this sense the sub is under the seats which would could the side skirt to rattle easier. Everyone should check this out, maybe its just me?

It doesn't have to be extremely loud really....Definitely shouldn't be rattling.

If you have a stock sound system and stock side skirts...it should not be rattling, might have some debris lodged somewhere.

I would go to dealer if you have warranty and tell them that they are loose and when you hit bumps you can hear them make a clunky sound? something like that, then they will look at them anyways and if they are loose they will put new pins in there. You could also invest in Dynomat insulation from Crutchfield or whereever, its a sound density material that absorbs the sound waves, you line your car with it to stop the rattles from even starting.

I used it in my Envoy when I had 2 15" Kicker subs with 2 RF Punch amps. It would look like it was going to blow the back hatch off my ride when I played some Bass Cd's.
