I have a goal of installing a Kicker SoloX10 into a 1993 Chrysler Concorde.  I will most likely fiberglass the box.  One of my concerns is, despite the fact it is a 10" Woofer, it has a 5000W Peak rating and 2500W RMS.  The client plans to run it at full RMS at one point after the installation.  I have not measured the exactly how big it (box) will be yet.  I am worried about how many layers this box will need if it is being hit with such enormous vibration (2500W RMS).

Also, any tips for reinforcing the car in general.  I do not want any rattling when the bass is hitting.  Know of any techniques to cut down on areas that may rattle?  I am aiming for SQL but with heavy tight hard hitting baaaassss.

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

Where are you putting The sub ?
I usually for 1 layer fleece , 3-4 layers matt ... then do the little thumb trick thing , if it flexs I add anothe layer ..I also like to use a spray on deader/undercoating on the inside of my glass boxes not all but some .
as for rattling , a mat will keep down some of it , I like to IN MY PERSONAL vehicles like to foam behind the roof braces and all the crevices that could eventually rattle and then trim the excess away . It usally helps but its hard to totally get rid of rattles IMO , cause you may not have any right after the system is installed but they will eventaully occur .

If that guy wants his bass that loud and NO RATTLES OR VIBRATIONS than he is gonna spend some major money on deadner.

i highly doubt you can get rid of the rattling for less than the cost of the sub.  ass for the box, use as much mdf as posibble and brace it according to kicker specs.  also be sure to glass the inside around square mdf baffle that you are mounting the sub to

I have no problem doing an extensive installation on the deadner. I thought Dynamat was the "holy grail" of sound killer but, I found a company called eDesignAudio ( www.edesignaudio.com)
with a product called "eDead."
Comparing it to Dynamat, it seems more cost effective.
Well, aside from deadnening the she-et out of it. I was thinking about throwing it up on a above ground lift and welding or securing any lose looking objects down.
But yea, all the seats, carpet, door panels are all coming off so I can deadnen every surface I can access.
After looking at the site, you think I should just use the mat on their or try out the liquid version?

Well, that rule could vary since curves when glassing gives it more strength.

There is no trick to rattles, and dynamat/deadener does not do away with them either. You will have to install the sub and listen for rattles. Then you take care of them one by one.
