I, too put a large sub box in my trunk and yes the mileage drops that
drastically. Our Sentras weigh 3345lbs. with 115 hp. Any weight difference
other than the driver makes a big difference. As far as the 6x9's...don't
try it...not worth it nor will it sound better then 6 1/2's in this tiny
car. But if you want to stop the ratteling either go to a Safeway of
general store and pick up some rubber washers or go all out and buy Dynomats
$$$.
