question to people who have big bass

I was running 1 12 rockord , today I went to the store and bought a 2 12 JL w0, feeding them 500 watts, holy crap it POUNDS!!!

But the rattling had became very freaking annoying is totally sound like crap,,, how did you guys deal with rattling? Is there other cheap way than dynamite the car?


The whole car rattles, doors, rear hatch, and if I roll the window down a lil', wow the glass sound like breaking.. It sounded like completely rubbish,

Any idea to share? How can I track the rattle points?

Any info please help?

Shall I face it upward or backward, I think it. Sound not as loud when its upward, does it mean it sound better?

My hatch used to rattle really bad with 1 12 and an 800 watt amp. Once i took my back seats out i turn it so the sub and bass port are facing towards the front of the car and it doesnt seem to be as bad now.

double sided padded tape. find it at any auto store. stick it between (almost) any parts that rattle.
its a beautiful process.

i think its a pain in the ass,,,, anyway,,, i will start with the hatch,,, ok shall i take off all panels off the hatch and liberally put pads in anywhere that possibly rattles?

i have big good bass , but the rattles ruins everything.

I get it with around less than 500 watt 10" single sub. Not as bad but it is there. I haven"t bothere trying to isolate them yet though.

i have one 12" with a vented box and a 2000 watt amp and then 4x 4" speakers and a 600 watt amp running them all in the trunk. i'm running it faced upwards and removed the cardboard cover that covers the trunk because that thing used to flip up when the bass hit hard. then i dynomatted the entire rear hatch. changed the mount for the third break light so it would stop rattling. then dynomatted the rear door panels so the windows wouldn't rattle anymore. but when i roll down the windows a lil bit it still sounds like crap and sometimes i wonder if ill break the windows from the flexing
