my frickin car rattles so much and i found out its my tail lights and somthing under my car. There were also vents going to my door from my trunk but i took them out. Any ideas on how i can stop my lights from rattling? ALSO, what is the formula for figuring out hz for a sub box, im building one so im trying to make it sound good.

Add rubber or foam around the parts of the lights that contact your car. as for finding the "hz for a sub box" i take it you are trying to make a ported box with a specific resonance frequency. It depends on port size and length.

You can stop your car from rattling by turning down your volume.

Like the man says only Solutions, play a size wave or spot frequencies at different sound pressure levels and listening for any rattles or buzzing sounds and securing the loose items.

But remember this, as the car is in motion the forces and dynamic pressures that car is going to see, those items may come undone again so constant doing the car up is a tuff thing, stop and think about the dynamic pressures the space shuttle goes though is a whole lot more a whole lot more.....

So will 36 hz sound alright? the paper my subs came with said to make a ported box tuned to 30hz and for each sub to have a volume of 2 cubic feet. Are they right or will i get better results making a box my own way with rectangle vents rather than round ports?
