Lol why does everyone always habe a cousin or someone they knew with some kickers or jl that was just as loud as you.
Don't forget that the more subs you can fit in the trunk the better. "man you couldve fit 8 15s in that trunk"

Yep box size doesnt mean anything just more subs!

These are both true. More subs in the trunk = more trunk rattle = you're loud in the hood

I've also been asked how much louder I'd be with JL subs, so JL must be louder. Mine are still on layaway....

oh god.... I can't even imagine. "Wow dude, that sounds pretty good. How much louder do you think it'd be if you could afford good subs like JL?" FACEPALM.

Heard that all the time at local hood shows which is why I started telling them my JL **** was on layaway and I'd be bringing the JL pain soon...

actually, if you do know anything about electrical, and alternators, caps can do damage, though only when the system is already in a strained state. they do transfer current both in and out differently than a battery. batteries will "choke" the current during recovery coming back to floating voltage, and a cap will let it just flow in full bore up to the point the alt has achieved setpoint voltage. keeps the alt at full output more continuously. the effect could be seen as miniscule, but still there.

.... i'm supprised this hasn't been mentioned: "more/bigger batteries make more power"

....and, "make the power wire bigger, because it has all the voltage. only need a little ground"

"What size/number of subz do you have" - kid at school

"Just one 12" - me

"Ha! My 2 15s will be louder" - kid at school

"No, his 12 will be louder than anything you have" -friend of mine

Fallacies, myths and legends. You'd be suprised at how many experienced audio freaks believe in some of them and don't know any better. One of my favorites is this,

"Twisted pairs cancel noise".

No, they don't.
