I got a pair of subs and a 500 watt amp and THE CAR SOUNDS LIKE IT'S FALLING APART. S70

Hey all. I recently got a pair of 12-inch subwoofers and a 500-watt Soundstream amp that I've been quite happy with. However, in the back of my 1999 S70, they cause so many rattles around the car when in use that you'd think parts would begin to fall off. Has anyone else put a bass-heavy sound system in an S70 and dealt with this problem? I really don't know what to do, as things rattle everywhere from the gas cap to the overhead interior lights by the center rearview mirror. The car is very solid, and I love it to death, so this seems rather uncharacteristic of it. I've been told to try using Dynomat, but I was of the impression that Dynomat only quieted external road noise. And how would that fix a rattling dome light? Anyway, any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
