Sound System Questions, 5 quick questions :) Options

[JonCars17]

I have a few sound system questions.

I'm thinking of adding a sound system to my car by the end of May which gives me enough time to save up.

Q1:
What is the point in putting a Sub (8") in both side doors?

Q2:
How much should I roughly look at spending for the system (components in the front, 2 speakers in the back, headunit and a sub 10" with an amp)? I'd like to get one for qaulity and not the extreme bass.

Q3:
What should I look at when choosing a system? the Sensivity aka the dB?

Q4:
How do I calculate how much amp I need

Q5:
What can I do to stop the car from rattling once it is installed?


I'm a n00b when dealing with cars -_-.

i know this is very subjective... and a lot of people disagree but you don't really need rear speakers. they don't really add to the system... and u can use that money for even better quality equipment for other parts of ur system. a lot of people aren't used to it at first, but after a while they love it (no rear speakers)

you also might want to get 2 amps instead of 1

if you go to crutchfield site, they have kinda like a advisor thing that is quite useful. tells you what to look for in equipment, calcualting amps and stuff: http://www.crutchfieldadvisor.com/learningcenter/car/

you should read up a bit before spending that 1500-2000 of yours

for 1500-2000, you can get an INCREDIBLE system. $1000 can probably get you an awesome system already
