Sound System Questions, 5 quick questions :) Options

[JonCars17]

I have a few sound system questions.

I'm thinking of adding a sound system to my car by the end of May which gives me enough time to save up.

Q1:
What is the point in putting a Sub (8") in both side doors?

Q2:
How much should I roughly look at spending for the system (components in the front, 2 speakers in the back, headunit and a sub 10" with an amp)? I'd like to get one for qaulity and not the extreme bass.

Q3:
What should I look at when choosing a system? the Sensivity aka the dB?

Q4:
How do I calculate how much amp I need

Q5:
What can I do to stop the car from rattling once it is installed?


I'm a n00b when dealing with cars -_-.

Does that mean I can have 2 subs per mono amp?

The reason why I ask is because I may want to add another sub later on.

Sorry for all the questions

Like runriot said, you just have to make sure you have the correct load shown to the amplifier. You can (theoretically) run as many subs to the amp as you want, given that the overal impedance given by all the subs is safe for the amp to run.

Adding a sub later on is generally a hassle. Unless you plan on running your amp now at 4ohm, i.e. you run it now at 2 ohm, its tough to add another sub, to give you an overall impedance of 2 ohm to the amp again.
