Well After having my Vibe for about 9 months I was sick of having my system sitting in my room so I hooked it up in the VibeI have 2 Eclipse 12s with a Memphis amp...I Used to have it in my Mountaineer. And wow does it sound a lot better in the Vibe. I was impressed!Nothing rattles besides the license plate. It sounds NICE!Also I found a fix for my rear view mirror falling down!Check out my car domain page for pics.Just a normal sub box for now...till I find time to build a custom one http://members.cardomain.com/webbsvibe

Yeah I planned on that. BUt I was also thinking that with all of the plastic in the back cargo area that it was going to rattle real bad. Glad it dose not!

Problem Solved What do you use for the rear view because when I had 2 12's and pushing about 850 watts RMS I gave up on the rear view mirror. The second the "808" hits that sucker fell everytime

For the rear view mirror I put a piece of cardboard under the ball on the back of the mirror and for the most part it works.

That Might work better right now I cut a pice of cardboard and put it back there then screwed the screws down...I works pretty well I think I might try something with a little more cushion..thanks for the input.

I use 2 small suction cups, the kind that have metal hooks in them to hang stuff. What I did was remove the metal hooks and stick the suction cups onto the car near where the bottom of the plate would hit. The soft rubber of the suction cups cushions the plate to keep it from rattling. The plate is screwed on tight enough to keep the suction cups from falling off. I've done this to both the Vibe and my wife's Voyager.
