Any sub that plays the resonant frequency of the glass or just a big sub anywhere in the room will cause the doors to rattle. I'd go with a glass door pivot hinge, double magnetic latches and no bore magnastrikes. Put a thin layer of felt or rubber between the glass and the hardware to keep the rattles to a minimum.

With a very large sub, there's nothing you can do. I have light fixtures in the theater room (and most other rooms in the house) as well as a spot on the wall that rattles when I get close to reference levels. But at those levels, I can't hear what my wife is screaming at me. Thank goodness I can't read lips.
