Default Subs = annoying me

The subs in my car are really beginning to annoy me. I have trouble with them like every other day and they seem to be rattling everything in my car apart. I'm thinking about just taking one of them out and just running one 12 in a ported box because i have to have my bass. Anyone else going through this?

I used to run two 12s in my first car, then switched to two 10s. Then I sold them because I was sick of it all.

My LS, I never got around to the subs. The R, I'm considering one 10, but that's all.

I'm not in it for dB, it's all about sound quality

I've got three 10" JL Audio W6's in my closet. I don't want that much weight in my R. Although, when I had them in my Eclispe, I could turn off just the subs with a button on my EQ.

my pioneer HU lets me adjust the sub gain/cut-off frequency, and even turn it off all togeather.

but yeah, 2 12's is almost a nessisity in my ride. Although I'm considering upgrading to a 15" again
