Default anyone with a subwoofer (or two) in the trunk, has this caused more rattles in the cabin?

my car is starting to really **** me off with all the annoying rattles coming from door panels and all the pillars. i took it in and they claimed to fix them, but BS. my borla exhaust and sportec suspension probably don't help much either.

i want to get a subwoofer since bose has **** for bass, but i'm thinking the rattles will only get worse.

am i right?

Default I mine doesn't rattle bad at all. I have a little Dynamat on the drivers doors and

in the trunk, but doesn't rattle that bad. You should be able to throw a sub in there w/o any serious issues.

everything seems to be fine. no rattling from inside the car and nothing seems to be getting loose yet.
