Ok, I know sound deadner is an option and probably the only real solution, but is there anything I can do to temporarliy stop the rattling until I can buy some raammat?

Is it your rear dash or what? My rear dash in my corolla vibrates like crazy because all the clips under it are broken from installing rear speakers. If you wedge something like a wood shiv or a pencil between the window and it, it stops vibrating. It's probably not something so simple with you though. :/ Your trunk or body panels or something.

Try weather stripping.

Ok, here is the thing, when I'm in the car I don't hear it that much but when you are outside of the car its all you hear. You can't even tell I have subs. It sounds like my car is fallin apart.

What kind of car, and where is most of the rattling coming from?
Other low budget quick-fix DYI options include putting some bedding (ie: comforter, blankets), putting some cardboard behind your license plate unnoticably, and adding a few dabs of quick-dry cement to small rattles.

Peel and seal? from lowes?

or

If your trunk-lid has large amount of holes (like accord's 96) You can use expanding foam works great. You can purchase it at autozone or kragen its pretty cheap too. Makes your trunk solid and its lightweight. Becareful not to over use it, because it will expand!

people drill holes in there back dash (in sedans) to let more air into the cabin ... kinda like a bandpass

i use silicone between 2 peices of metal or hard objects ... like my lisence plate and some plastic clips in my trunk pannel
