Default sealing off...........

Have any of ya'll sealed off your trunk and fixed your tag so that it doesn't rattle? When my system is on my tag rattles like crazy and you can hear (only outside the car) the air coming out from the seams of the trunk. Can I seal off the trunk better, and what to do about the tag?

As far as the tag, Dynamat sells a "kit" for it. But all I did was use some 3M foam gasket tape from wal-mart, did the trick.

I honestly cant think of a way to do this. I also dont see any real benefits in doing it, maybe a marginal boost in bass quality. Is this for the 98 or the 02 accord? If its the 98, maybe replacing the weather stripping on the trunk.

You can get one of those tag covers to stop the tag rattle. Honestly I wouldn't try to reseal the trunk though. Hell I wouldn't even trust most paint and body shops to do that for fear of leaks. But it doesn't hurt to look into it.
