Direction i should fire Subs?

[ewf]

Mhn3773,

I've personally never heard of rattles themselves affecting bass output levels other than if the baffle (the board the subs are mounted to) is rattling (which would mean loose construction) and therefore nullifying some of the energy the sub would be transmitting to the air.

ahh its prolly just because my cheaply made car rattles so loudly or something lol

I think rattles can reduce the sound of the bass from outside the vehicle. Not that it actually reduces the bass but you can't hear it over the rattling.

i see it as a result of inefficiency, and a leakage of sound. and like you said, the sound of rattles takes away from the music.

i think every car that comes from the factory needs to pass a 100db 40hrz tone for 30 secconds w.o 1 rattle..least the cars would be better made =) lol

and the screws that hold the plastic bumper cover wouldnt rattle off and let half the bumper hang to the ground in traffic lol
