Default Does our car rattle with subs?

Just wondering before I put my system from my old car into the S, if rattling is a major problem. I can't stand rattles and would rather have no system than have things rattling all the time. Sometimes I get a little bit of rattling in the passenger door panel or in the back of the seat on a rough road, but it seems to come and go. I would hate for the sub to make those noises constant.

I only have about 300 WRMS feeding my sub.....so here's my .02 cents.

No, the car doesnt rattle. Its incredible for any car to be this tight, much less a verty.....

There is one rattle, the black trunk mechanism (under the trunk lid) that can be solved by zip tying it tightly (youll know what I mean when you hear the rattle) The car doesnt squeak, rattle, or buzz with a sub. Now if you had like 1000 watts pushing a 15", maybee you would, but the s2000 is a tight car....

I dunno. My sub is really damn strong. Only happens when I turn it up loud. Does this happen to anyone else?

Bend the 'u' shaped catch in very slightly. This will hold the glove box door closed more tightly.
