Play something and go around inside and outside of the car and start pushing on everything. You should be able to hear the rattling stop when you put some pressure on whatever it is that is rattling. At that point you know where it is coming from.. look for screws to tighten or put something (dynamat for example) inbetween two objects to cushion the rattle.

Biggest issues in my car were the sail panels and the hatch area; especially the bumper panel (that has the CAMARO letters).

i have been doing car audio for 4 years, i would go with fat mat, its just 1/16 or maybe even 1/32 thinner than dynamat but its way cheaper. i had a system that would kick you outa the car and had no rattles
