Ive tighten everything in that area, but the noise sounds like the rear trunk rattling up and down only when I hit a bump or something...very annoying,

Due to the age of your car, I think in order to stop the rattle, you should look into replacing the weather stripping aroung the trunk lid.

Another thing you can try is adjusting the two rubber bumpers. If you look at them you will see they are actually threaded in. If you back them out a little that might make it shut tighter.

I am getting an intermittent noise from back there too, I think in my car it might actually be the amp.
