Default best method to reduce rattles?

My gas door and fuel tank rattles like a Biatchh because of my sub woofers. Whats the best way to reduce them? What about the dashboard rattles? Since extended warranty doesn't cover the rattles because they are shady like that.

Also anyone know how to fix my moonroof controls? I d/c the battery one day to do some work on my car and all the power controls stopped working. The computer learned back my windows but my moonroof still doesnt work properly. Any ideas?

The moonroof is same as the window, open it all the way hold the button for 5 sec and do the same when closing.

If your door is rattling because of sound vibrations, you are damaging your hearing. Audio is one of my hobbies and I am glad to have my hearing intact closing in on age 60. Most of my friends don't

You can get a new car, you can't get new ears. Hearing aids don't work all that well. Turn it down man!

use ear plugs...i did when i had my aftermarket system in my old car.

as for gas cap door, maybe try dynamat? it'll look yucky for sure when you open the gas cap door, but it should reduce or eliminate the rattles. make sure you think about this carefully, dynamat is somewhat hard to remove afterwards when it sticks
