I was thinking about putting some 8-inch subs in my doors but i just read that it will rattle the doors real bad...what can i do to prevent this? I have never opened up the guts of my door can u put plenty of sound deading in there? Will that stop the rattles? Also does the subs in the door have to be shallow mount to fit? What is a good 8 inch sub? pionneer has no 8's on their site but primeir does but they are alittle pricey for me i dont need anything crazy just wantin to add some bass but it dont have to be crazy

subwoofer under seat will work but there are hardly any space under there. most subs need a 30liter box and you wont be getting it underneath the seat.

For door speakers, it is not directional up to 200-250hz according to many. If you have a subwoofer in the trunk, run it to around 100hz maximum otherwise you will be able to tell where it is coming from. If you can still tell that there is a subwoofer back there, it is due to your interior trims vibrating , and you would be able to tell that there is a subwoofer behind there.

I had rattles too with the rods and the outer handle. I tightened the door handle and chuck abit of dynamat on it and the rattle went away.

As for your case, maybe visit some retail shops. Find speakers that give you enough bass and install them. Look at 2 way component sets. Entry level sets from Focal,DLS,Rainbow etc etc. will be good.
