Can a subwoofer in your trunk ruin your car?

Question

If I put a subwoofer in my trunk, can it like....loosen parts on my car?

Like....with the bass, can it make parts loose and less stable...???

Hard to explain.

I don't want a extreme hard bass. Just a little one with just enough kick.

Answer 1

More important, it may ruin your ears.

Answer 2

any amount of bass that is produced by a speaker bigger than 8inches (over 100watts RMS) over an extended amount of time will loosen things up- even a nice component setup with a lot of bass can loosen stuff up over a period of time

Answer 3

No, it won't.  If there was extreme hard bass, then it would loosen fasteners, and make you look like a fool driving by.

Answer 4

If you are just looking at adding a little boom to your ride, then no.

It's when you get to extreme amounts of bass that you have to think about structural changes.

Answer 5

In general, cars are built to handle vibration.  A basic subwoofer system shouldn't harm anything at all.

Answer 6

HI, you can tighten things up ie;nuts, bolts etc.

secure system in trunk good.

check all connections make sure they are good.

Have friends that have lost speakers don't go too loud

too fast.

Answer 7

i had 2 12's at 1000 watts which i pounded nearly all the time and all i ever noticed was one parking light housing broke loose. if you just want a little kick though you have nothing to worry about.

Answer 8

yes it will...thats why they make sound deadening.....to keep the pannels stiff. also, vibration is loss of sound, you should always have some sort of sound deadening.
