Ok so here is the deal. Two things:

1) There is this big/huge rattle (well actually two i dont know if they are related or not) in the back/right of the car. One little rattle was noticible way back since i got the car. Its like a little buzz/something loose sound. Not too annoying but its there. Anyway, so i got my new sound system installed (amp and 10" woofer). Now there is a huge rattle coming from the back. I believe it to be the tail. Eveytime i go over a bumpy/rough road it sounds like is going to fall apart. Now i don't know if this is due to the woofer in the back or something else.

So i'm taking it in to get checked, but i have a feeling they might blame it on that and hold me resposible.

2) So i got this alarm installed by honda that i also purchased from them along with the si. I took it in on friday to have it checked because it was acting funny. They said there was a loose fuse and fixed it. But now, after installing my sound system, it works randomly. There is light indicator that lets me know the status of the alarm (wheter its on/off) here and there it just turn off. So i tap the side panel by the fuse box and bam it goes back on.

I don't know they might blame this one on me too cuz i got the woofer installed so yeah. Does anyone know if this might be a problem. I'm removing the woofer before taking it but not the amp. Also honda has noted that i've had problems with these two things before.

Thanks!
