is this for real?

Well from what I watched its "looks" legit but could be a hoax, these guys claim that two Audiobahn 6 1/2's in "special" ported enclosures hit like (2) 12's or (4) 10's http://www.realmofexcursion.com/videos.html then click on the audiobahn text upper right then scroll down last video on page, could some season vets on here give their 2 cents on whether this is bulls*it or if its true!!!

Yeah, that was made by powered4sound, they made a special project box that would make the speakers sound loud as hell, supposely their box make subs sound good for daily driving, their box's are known as snailshell boxes, http://www.powered4sound.com is thier website if u wanna check them out, i know it seems crazy but it's legit

cool, I was suprised to see them use audiobahn, which seems to be an unprefered brand for most serious audio folks, especially in the 6.5 dept.

lol yeah me 2, but it was a special project they were doing, just imagine if they used a really good 6.5 speaker

ive heard alot of stuff about them. and they ARE NOT snailshells for sure. they are more likely some combination of a horn and an aeropedic box with some membrane behind the speaker, and then a really big folded horn behind that.

ive heard that they are legit, and ive heard not. i havnt seen anyone who has actually heard this box pos anywhere. and if you watch that video, you can see them talking while the bass is ripping. how does it sound like two 15's if you can eaisly talk to eachother. its not that easy to hear people over two 15's last time i tried.

id really like to hear this box. otherwise i doubt its 'as loud' as they claim.

It seems a little fishy to me that they say "it hits harder than 2 15's" and similar things, but never post a mic reading of how loud it actually is. There is a lot of discrepency between 15's as there is any speaker, I think they would post a dB number if it was really as good as they say.

you got a good point, i cant talk with my one 12, i cant even yell unless i turn it down.
