I just put in a Rockford Fosgate HE 12 inch sub in the trunk, not tryin to set off car alarms, but just add some bass. Whenever i turn it up even a little, the trunk or maybe the liscense plate rattles. Any suggestions? Does this happen to anyone else?
My other question is for those of us living in the northern U.S., where we get some cold weather in the winter months. What can you do for subs in the winter(my car is kept outside), because i heard if you turn them up they can break because they are brittle. Do you just not turn them up loud, or can you warm them up somehow? Thanks for any help!

Oh and don't worry about the cold weather. The worst thing that could happen is a layer of conensation can build up on electronic parts. There are no speaker building materials that should be affected noticeably by a cold environment. At least not that you should be concerned about. If you feel uncomfortable with it, speakers are fairly inefficient devices, so they should heat up pretty quickly. So if you waited a few minutes to crank it up, you should be even safer.
