First, that is a nice set of subs you have and I hope you have the right amp, enclosure and cap. to give them their real justice because they throw base like it aint no bodies business!
Ok, as far as reducing rattle goes you have a few options. You can invest in some dynomat, filler and a few other things that absorb some high frequecies a bit to improve sound.
That may or not not fix your problem. Me personally, I have a three JBL 10" GTI subs that throw about 1000 watts each. Granted they aren't JL's but some day (looking to the stars). Anyways, my sytem shakes the earth and my car! The reason I don't have any rattle with my system is because I had to tighten up the loose things on my car.
Here they are:
License plate
Exhaust clamp (basically a "U" shaped clamp that holds your exhaust pipe in place)
Factory speaker housings (the covers that are normally over speakers in your car)
Plus if I put anything in the trunk, it is either bolted down or tightly packed. Also, depending on how you have your subs arranged could effect where the bulk of the bass flows. Different arrangements will throw your sound differently and the rattle sound could go away or become greater but it all depends.
I hope this helps your problem.
Don't go deaf!

Dynamat...not "dynomat"...may stop some of the rattles. It also may be things like trunk springs, tool kits, spare tire mounting hardware, license plate frames...etc. Try looking into this first. It's easier and cheaper for you to check it out than have the Dynamat installed. Use small pieces of foam rubber to seperate any metal that may be touching. Also try adjusting your trunk latching system, it may just be a loose latch. As for sand in your trunk.....WTF...don't do it unless you want a bottom dragger. It works in homes and theaters not the mobile environment.
By the way...I think "Dynomat" was the product Fred Flintstone used to keep the noise down from the Rubble's house next door!!
If they can't get the name of the product right, be cautious of their answers!!!

dynomat is the cheapest way. but if you have money to spend and not worried about the weight you can take it to a custom shop to get the walls and trunk lid filled with sand and that should stop it completly. i only know that b/c my friend just got it done. but it is expensive to do

Dynamat....but its expensive. Try Rammat or edead for products that are better but w/o the Dynamat markup.
