Rattle in the Furniture

[Shlubster]

Hey

So i replaced my subwoofer for the 3rd time and finally found the spot that the subwoofer outputs the clearest and loudest bass. The only problem is that the sub is behind a dresser. The dresser creates a triangle with the corner of 2 interesecting walls. So imagine there is a corner in my room, and the dresser which is like 5 or so feet tall is placed from one wall to the other sideways creating a triangular space behind the dresser. This is where i placed my sub, the nice part about this is the bass sounds great but when i start playing my sub loud, it rattles the thin wood back wall of the dresser. Is there anything i can do such as lining it with tape or glue or somthing that will reduce rattle, or is the only option to move my sub or dresser, which i really dont wanna do.

Thanks for help, Shlub

I imagine that you can secure that wood back wall, with bracing or adhesive. I won't try to give pointers because there are others here who know that stuff far better than I do.

Question, though - when your sub is loud enough and rattling that back wall, can you stop the rattling by pushing against the wall?

Yes when i press my hand against the wall, for MOST frequency's it stops the rattling.

In one song it continued to rattle but if i had my hand on all the time i wouldnt complain about one song rattling considering it fixes all the rest of the low frequency's

Anyone else have an idea?

Hammer and nails? Maybe some kind of foam media to stuff between it?
