Default Aftermarket sub question

For those of you that have installed an aftermarket sub, did you remove the oem sub or leave it on?? When I bump my music loud I get a bit of rattle coming from the rear seat/deck and I can't really pin point the culprit. Did you guys use any type of padding as well??

I have Mark Levinson by the way, not sure if that helps.

I have non-ML with aftermarket subs: 2-10 inch subs in the trunk. No rattling, no padding installed. I do have rattling in the back in the rear seat/deck but it's from the car, not the actual subs. I think on of the panels back there rattles from time to time, doesn't really bother me since the radio downs out the rattling.

I deadened the doors and entire trunk. No rattling from my 15" ported sub

You can unplug the wire connecting to the stock sub first to see if that helps before removing it.
