Bad Vibrations

I finally finished my trunk mounted audio setup in my spyder. I have an 800 watt Orion 250r amp and a 12" Orion HCCA 12d sub in a custom made enclosure. So, I put it in the trunk and hooked everything up. I wasn't expecting it to sound too good because it is a convertible. The system knocks but the trunk vibrates like hell. It sounds like some kind of ghetto system. When I am in my driveway with the trunk opened up I can turn the volume to like 10 and all of the kinda high beats vibrate the trunk really bad. The lows sound pretty good but thats about it. When I close the trunk it is 3 times as bad and irritates the hell out of me. I turned it up today and opened the trunk and tried to find out if any of the interior panels were making the noise but i dont htink they are.
I don't really know what to do about the problem. I was thinking about Dynamatting the whole trunk, especially the trunk lid. But what material should I go with and how would I do it? Would I just take out all of the panels in the trunk and apply the mat to the metal or what?

Thanks for the help.....and I may post some pictures if anyone cares.
