W7 Loud

Could the extreme deep bass of my w7, over time loosen bolts and cause more vibrations throughout my car? This is a serious question that may not be understood by someone not using a w7

it may you might want to look into a product called dynamat it is used to reduce vibrations caused by subwoofers or any other type of speaker

yeah i got about $500 worth of dynamat extreme inthe trunk and the under the back seat area. But with this bass you need to wear yourseat belt or it will push you out of the seat. each piece of dynamat i put in actually makes it louder.

the likelihood of it actually loosening bolts and what not is slim, but if you are really worried about specific bolts becoming loose you could always get some locktite (sp?) to spray on the bolts to help hold them in place, but the downside to that is, if you ever need to actually remove those bolts, it will be exponentially harder after adding the spray. In all honesty though you really are worring about nothing.

I think it will I have a w7 in a ported box and I had to get my rear glass resealed due to water leaks, Acura thought the car had been in a accident but it was casue of the bass. I really do think i am killing my car with teh W7 so I really dont turn the bass up all the way unless I am really pissed or something, ever panel in my car is flexing now to.

no cars are made for that kind of bass in the trunk. I only have 2 W3's with dynamat all over and my trunk sounds and looks like its going to explode.

All my screws in maplights / sunglass holders have come loose, and I'm only running a rockford fosgate 550 with 2 12" Kicker Comp VRs, I can't imagine what a decent system would do to the car...
