[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8753080, member: 591582"] I was doing mild hair tricks with my 2 18's on my 9.1's (2400w or so). My explorer had a lot of roof stiffening done, people really need to understand that over a certain SPL level, you're just getting murdered on efficiency if you don't brace your vehicle and add more subs or power. I ripped hatch metal fairly severely and the bass made the rear doors push out so far that the metal actually clapped on the body door jam metal loudly. All of that movement is a massive amount of sound lost. Think about how hard you'd have to push with your arms to make your doors clap without opening them. I was only doing high 140's. I guess some sauce would be that every subwoofer box is inside of an enclosure. Your vehicle is also a box, but it's made of metal and has all sorts of gaps and seals. It's only going to hold so much pressure. Hair tricking requires keeping the pressure in the vehicle all the way up to the windows. Enough power and cone area will do that no matter what, but if you want to blow people's faces off, you have to seriously stiffen the vehicle panels and keep the doors from opening. [/QUOTE]
