Im about 15...on 1 12 and clamping roughly 500w. peaking at 37hz. My roof flexes, my doors flex, windows flex etc. Actually knocked some stuff off shelves in my garage the other day with my car parked about 30 feet away from garage..Was told by someone with a mojo 10 that my bass in their car overpowered their bass //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I am somewhere around a 16. Sometimes get disoriented when it is all the way up on a song that plays around 35hz (my peak).

I fit into 14-16, not alot of roof flex but the windows and trunk flex quite noticeably and old people make disgusted looks. Above 3/4 volume all mirrors are useless and at night make a bunch of colored O's from lights. Pretty sure its around 140 on music, I really wanna get it metered.

hmmm, 14/15? My old car doesn't really flex, but my dash and steering wheel sure do.

I am about a 12, or a 15 cause headlights make 0's in my rear-view mirror from my 18" using only 130 watts rms =).

Can't wait until I get an amp that can almost fully power my 18" (rated for 800w rms at 8ohms).
