car subwoofer help por favor
ok obviously im new to this forum, and youtube isnt effective enough to act as a chatroom for advice on subwoofers. Sometime this summer of 2010 i want to put a subwoofer in my car. Im willing to spend up to $400 on it about. I want a heavy heavy bass. But something ive noticed in my friends cars and stuff is that everything in the car also vibrates with the subwoofer and makes an annoying rattling sound. is there anyway to avoid this in my car without dimming down the bass?
Im very very new to this whole thing so if i went into bestbuy or something like that (idk where to go for it). what do i ask for? and the budget includes the amp and installation.
that brings up another point, is installing it hard? because my friend had his dad do it whos an electrician, and my other friend is wiring it himself. i dont wanna mess up on it but if its rlly easy then id love to not pay extra for it.
and sorry for asking this. im sure the forum is filled with questions like this

The only way to stop everything rattling is to tighten it all down. You'll rattle a car APART with "heavy heavy bass."
I recommend JL Audio for a subwoofer. Great sound, great quality, great customer service. Go with a sealed box as big as you can fit & use a CLEAN amp. I'm using a Kenwood 1 channel sub amp on two Infinity Perfect 10.1 dual voice coil subs wired in parallel for a 1 ohm load. I'm hitting almost 1000 CLEAN watts into the two subs.
Why run Infinity & recommend JL Audio? Infinity doesn't make the same Perfect 10.1 they used to. Efficiency is WAY down, & the low frequency response is up over 24 hz when the old one was 18 hz.TNRabbit

oh yeah another thing. just out of curiousity, are the subwoofers bolted down into the car? and is the amp bolted into the subwoofer? cuz they dont move around at all
