Default Bass induced rattle

So i followed the many threads here to upgrade my stock Subwoofer. to include the spacer ring, etc. So i went with a Rockford Fosgate sub, and have had it installed for about 8 months or so. And just recently i seem to have a fairly frequent rattle,that seems to be coming from the armrest/cup holder area on the body panel on the right near the third row. I have found that if i pull slightly on the cubby that the rattle goes away. Has anyone else successfully dealt with this issue? I honestly don't think it's so much the whole panel but moreso just the area behind the cupholder. Any insight/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I would put money on the pink clip on that side being the problem. Put a little silicone on sound deadener on it. It is a plastic clip inserted into sheet metal that accepts a screw that holds those interior panels on. This solved my rattling problem

GroundPound thanks for the tip. I bet your totally right, as it seems that is right where it seems to be coming from, and if i pull on the armrest it's probably just holding that plastic clip firm and keeps it from rattling. Guess i will be doing a little tear down this weekend. Thanks

GroundPound, thanks again for the tip. I finally got around to tearing the back panel out and adding the silicone (as well as some extra Dyna-Mat here & there for good measure). And you also weighed in on my question about the line driver. I never got around to adding the 2nd 2ch LOC or tapping into the sub lines from the HU, but after putting the new amp in, finally getting my amp settings tweaked - my new sound is amazing!!!
