Vibrations make my Deck Skip HELP!!

[teetdogs]

I have a 98 XLT with an alpine head unit 2 rockford fosgate DVC 12's and a punch 225.2 amp it hits really really hard but when it does this it makes my deck skip something terible. I have tried multiple decks and get the same with all of them. To me it seems that since there is really not screws to hold the deck in place it just vibrates the whole panel and thoughts on how to remedy this? I tried using some weather stripping to absorb some of the vibration this seemed to help a little bit. but not all the way and there is only so much weather stripping you can put behind there before it becomes to messy to work with. Please help i love the way my subs hit but i cant turn it up passed 14 so it leaves something to be desired.

Thanks in advance

make up a solid mount for the cd player. and get some dynamat and try to cover the inside of ur dash

I had thought about the mount idea however there just doesn't seem to be anywhere behind the dash to attach a mount the dynamat though thats a good idea. sound like a trip to the Pro auto sound and security this weekend. we'll see if that helps.

[teetdogs]

my alpine doesn't skip a beat w/ my stereo? Maybe try thickening up the panel a bit, dynamat, maybe expandi foam on the back side, just shape it so its not too big yet will still add mass. Or try a different plastic adaptor...
