8th Generation Honda Civic Forum - View Single Post - DIY: Installing Aftermarket Subs w/ Stock HU ( and Premium Sound System)

You can always ride around with the backseats down for an even louder sound. I got my LOC in the mail today, so hopefully I'll put a system in soon. I was going to go with a 750 watt Kicker amp and an L7, but my friend is selling his 500 watt kicker amp and an L5 (plus all the wiring, and he has 100$ rockford fosgate wire) for $400. Not to mention I've heard how it hits in his Scion TC, and it sounds GOOD. One L5 with a proper amp sounds better than several dual 12" setups that I've seen. Something about the Square sub... it just hits so hard. This same friend of mine actually helped me install a system in my last car, so hopefully I get one in my SI soon.

One question.... any bad rattle spots? I'm worried about license plate rattle, or anything else that could rattle from the trunk. Any input would be appreciated.
