Car sound issue

Hello, I currently have a 1999 toyota solara, with 2 12 inch subwoofers in the trunk. My current issue is that whenever I turn on the subs, my trunk spoiler rattles and makes it sound TERRIBLE. Does anyone know a quick solution to this? I am not a car expert so preferably simple solutions would be appreciated. Thank you in advance

Spoiler, the issue seems to be with this light. (I've already tightened the spoiler, that wasn't the issue.)

Current position of sub's, facing towards the front of the vehicle.

Previous position of sub's, faced rear of vehicle.

The vehicle itself.

You need some dynamat. That will make a HUGE difference.

Only issue is, I only get heavy noise on the actual light break light. And I don't exactly have tons of money to throw into it. But I'll definitely look into it. If it will help I can make a video to show the issue.

I's say take out the light(if possible) and run a bead of silicone around the edges where the plastic meets the spoiler... screw back in and wipe off the excess silicone squeezed out with a damp cloth.

but I think your gonna find that once you fix that rattle, the rest of the trunk is still gonna have that gross rattle unless you dynamat or dampen the trunk completely.

Surprisingly enough, the trunk itself doesn't rattle, its just that damn spoiler, as far as taking the light out. I'm almost certain it won't come off unless i take the entire thing off, which I'd rather not do.
