powerful subs and carbon fiber...do they mix?

i was thinking about getting a carbon fiber trunk for my 2005 civic ex coupe, but then i also remembered that i was planning on getting a couple 15" subs in my trunk. im not sure how many watts (although im sure it will be enough for it to punch really hard) and im pretty sure its either gonna be rockford fosgate punch 15" P2's or the rockford fosgate power 15" t1's. is there a chance that complications will arise from this mix. like, will i have problems with the CF trunk rattling because it weighs so little, even if i dynomat it? and is there any other problems that could happen or do i have nothing to worry about.

umm carbon fiber is stronger than metal, so i don't think you will have problems

I also wouldn't put dynomat on carbon fiber...just doesn't seem good. I'm sure it'll be fine though since carbon fiber doesn't rattle like metal does.

I have a carbon fiber hood, and I'm prolly never gonna get one again. Too expensive and unrealiable. I'm sticking to oem from now on.

looks makes no sense either. like those cars you see that have been in an accident and have black unpainted replacement bodypanels.

black/unpainted is ghetto, but checkered is good looking? I dont think so. you get none or both, but you can't have just one!

so if looks are out, what could the point be?
