The door trims always rattle, I've never found I can completely alleviate that, so I've got my fronts hi-passed at about 80 anyway.
The number plate will rattle from the sub If you have nothing else in the hatch you get a wicked acoustic boost from the hatch chamber. I have a JL sub that I am seriously under powering (barely kicking over) and the boost from the hatch results in far more bass than I realistically need. Really it's best to set up the doors properly and treat them with sound deadening material but that will eat into your budget. You could delete the rear speakers entirely and go with a 2-channel amp which would leave some for enough dynamat to do the doors. (Rear speakers are only for your freeloading passengers, anyway!) edit: I'd drop the rear speakers, go with the cheaper and more powerful Pioneer GM-5400T for the fronts, and the Pioneer GM-D7500M for the sub. Gives you more overall system power and should end up costing the same. You'll outgrow those Kicker fronts quick though, IMHO. But you can always put in some nice Bostons or JLs down the track if you feel they're not up to scratch. edit2: you can leave in the stock rears and continue to run them from the head unit if you really need rear fill.

You dont need much Juice to get the car rattling, im running a 4x60wrms Pioneer GM-6100F 4Ch amp bridged, powering a 125w rms Kicker sub, and it shakes something rotten!!
The one thing I can recommend is, are JL Audio 5x7" 125w 2 way speakers, great quality, punchy (even though I have mine hi-passed at 125) and quite a few members on here have heard them, hell mine have been in the SP for 4.5 years now!! Dyanmat would be the best bet for sound deadening & very expensive, although someone on here thinks you can get the foil backed rubber from Clark Rubber, so its worth checking out if on a budget.. Also you may want to do this little how-to as well http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showt...-from-rattling!

Yeah the JLs are great, but they are a bit more expensive. I've just picked up a set of the C5 components, hope to have them in soon. Still have the Alpine 4x100w amp, planning to go to the new JL amp the HD900 (bridged for 2x150W fronts and 1x500W for sub)

I would suggest the JL Audio setup over the Kickers/Pioneer setup.
I have the ZR 6.5" Splits in the front and the VR 6.5" splits in the rear doors with a 12" JL sub in JL Audio box in the boot. I have a 4x50W JL Audio amp for the speakers with a 120W JL audio mono block for the sub, according to the "experts" my stereo is massively underpowered and its way too loud already. I have had some of my stereo for at least 6 years. The bass my car produces is silly. On 13 out of 50 it makes the carport roof vibrate. Last time I took my car to Mazda to get serviced I got told that my car had the most impressive stereo they had ever heard. MMMMM wonder how loud they cranked it.. I remember I had left The Prodigy in it. |

OT: yer you deffnitly dont need much to make a sound system go BOOM BOOM. i used to have fusions 6.5" splits and alpine 6.5" speakers with a JVC sub run off a alpine amp. I took it out because i just didnt like all the ratteling. Do Clakr rubber have sound proofing?? that stuffs to expensive to buy from audio shops.

I'm surprised you guys get rattles, there's only one rattle in my car and that's the spoiler brake light (which will be fixed soon). I don't think dynamat is neccasary unless you get panel rattles as all the little rattles can be tracked down and fixed one at a time but doesn't seem to be a problem for my car...
