Was I thinking too much?

Long story~

I'm 17, and I wasted my time and didn't get my liscense early enough, so in about a month and a half I am going to get my car, then for a month, i'm going to fix things (if theres anything wrong). What my question is, is. Will a 15'' XXX be TOO much?

Saying I get an older model car, around 94'- 98'. One of the popular models, like an Integra, Celica, Civic Hatch, Eclipse, Grand Cherokee, or something of the like. Will my car rattle like a bag of coins? I was thinking there is no doubt that it'll do that, but will second skin handle it, or whatever I need to either A) minimize it signifigantly, or B) ELMININATE rattling. Remember, that A) and B) come into play if there is any rattling. But basically, thats my only concern, is the rattling. I don't want to show off my car to my friends, with a piece of shit that rattles so much. I've told everyone that rattling sucks ***, and I dont want to be a hypocrite about it when my car is the worst.

Suggestion and stuff please :/

Rattling can't be completely eliminated, but if you use enough sound deadener, you should be able to minimize the rattles to the point where you can't hear them that much. I'd rather get the car I wanted and put 3 layers of sound deadening on, instead of getting a different car and using only 1 layer.

i have a 93' bmw 318i and when i first got my SE's the trunk rattled ridiculously and i could hear the rattles inside the car. After 50 SqFt of Edead in the Trunk. No more audible rattles inside the car but outside the car it still rattles but its not bad. Rattling does **** but deal with it. When ur running that high end of a system its gona happen. peace
