Is It A Myth???

I was wondering are there actually subs out there that are so powerful that they shatter windows? Or is all that a myth?

Multiple SPL subs on buttloads of power can do it. Look for the video of Pipo Sancez breaking his windshield.

I think it depends more on the car space rather than the sub.

If the car is really really small (limited airspace) and you're using a strong spl sub then you're set. If the car is really really large, it's just going to be more difficult.

But basically yeah, a lot of subs and power will do it

Hmmm......interesting. I've been wondering about whether I should get a certain sub, because of the window breaking things that I've heard. If car space has something to do with it, then now I have to wonder if my car would be too big or too small.

you still would need alot of power in order to bust the glass...

need to be really really loud...

what kind of setup are you thinking? I doubt it would break your glass...

I know a kid doin a 154 on the tl with 2 15"s in his s-10 single cab and he flexes the back glass... if he was louder he might break it...i guess...

I was thinking about getting either the Pioneer Premier TS-W5102SPL (6000 watts) or the Oz Audio Power 12.1 (8000 watts) subs with probably the Rockford Fosgate T30001bd amp (3000 watts) powering it.

Oh okay....... cool!! I feel much, much better knowing that.

Oh okay. Just out of curiosity, how much power do you think it would take to damage a window? That way, I know what kind of power to stay away from.
