No and Yes.

Simply adding a sub will do nothing to stop the doors from providing sympathetic harmonics (rattling). But adding a sub and a cross-over network can stop the rattling AND improve the sound quality. This works because you can limit the low frequencies that you send to the door speakers (only frequencies between 100 and 3000Hz)

And I said "can" because as others have pointed out, if there is something loose in the door you will still need to address that.

Of course, adding a sub can also make things in the truck rattle...but that's a whole new project
