Car/Sub Vibration

[slick327 10+ year member]

Hello to all! I have been reading posts here for a while, though this is the first time I have made my own post.

I would consider my self newb-ish. I have done several installs so I know enough to put it together but not enough to know the technicalities of what i'm actually wiring up. So, i'll start with what I'm running, so if anyone could tell me what ohm i'm running that would be nice.

I'm running a Pioneer D-Din touch screen, 600 watt kenwood, and 2 12" P1 RockFos 300 RMS. I don't know what to call the specifications of the amp so here goes. It has 1 set of RCA in's and a place for two speakers to be wired (2 + and 2 -). I have it wired just as i shows to the speakers, eg. + to + and - to -. Each sub is an alomst 2 cu ft total. (I think its 1.85, but i'm not sure).

Soo... my question is, when I showed my system off to my bud I noticed that my windshield, well everything, was shaking quite excessively. Its probably almost a quarter inch flex. What are the chances of my windshield busting or popping out? I wouldn't have thought my system would be strong enough to hurt anything but I guess it might be. Any suggestions or comments? I don't want to bust my brand new car. It's a Toyota Yaris 3-dr so the car just might be flimsy to start with. Thanks for any comments or help.

it seems like you're a natural born spl'er //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

or you car is made of cardbox. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

don't worry. Winshield breaking start in the high 150 db. You're nowhere near that

you need to get bulletproof glass ASAP. Those p1s will blow out every window in your car.

Whoa!!! Slow down. Its not big db flex. Like a well fastened window bowing in and out. Its my whole thing shaking 1/4 inch. Im going to post a vid after while. Im asking how much shaking can the car handle before something bad happens? The roof and window are shaking in at the same pace.

It is highly unlikely that anything is shaking 1/4" with 2 p1's

Sounds to me like your car is made of tinfoil or, you are on pcp.

I wouldnt be worried about your windshield popping out/busting...if it did I'd have a lot of questions about the car

my car does that as well on 600 watts. my rear windshield. and my car is the biggest POS ever. it's lighter than a fcuking moped. that's the only reason i have flex. if it were in a bigger stronger vehicle, there would be NO flex. whatsoever.

im sure this guy's case is a shitty car.

 

[microhaxo 10+ year member]

i bet the roof is paper thin.

ok really?

 

[slick327 10+ year member]

For starters, dafobbishon3, my car is not a POS. Though you may be stuntin' a beater, I am not. It's an econo-box //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif. Secondly, I will apologize for misleading anyone. I did slightly blow the major flex thing out of proportion. I am in the middle of making a youtube account so I can post the vids. BTW, apparently catching flexing glass is harder to do than I thought, but I think it came out alright.

Well, I am no longer worried about my problem. Thanks for everyone's help...... While loading my videos on youtube I found another Yaris flexing that makes mine look like a squirrel fart. So, everyone have a good day. I'll go ahead and post the links to the video just cause. But I know now what real flexing is.
