this was pissing me off so much that i just had to register and post...first of all, there's no way in hell you set off a car alarm 15 houses down...how do i know? my friend has 2 13w7's in his explorer, and he can't set car alarms off that are more than like 20 feet away...unless you're in a condo complex, there's no way in HELL you set a car alarm off 15 houses down. assuming the average frontage is say, 100ish feet in a good suburban neighborhood, thats 1500 feet, more than 1/4 mile, which is rediculous, a **** cruise boat horn wouldnt do that. a car alarm is sensitive, but its not that **** sensitive.
also, if you think you're fitting 2 15" subs in a trunk of a 96 intrepid with a box and everything(especially a ported box) you're in for a surprise...since they definately wont fit under the rear deck and between the wheel wells, it'll have to be near the opening of the trunk where the spare tire well is, and most likely it wont fit, not to mention 80% of the bass will exit the vehicle without HEAVY deadening. the purpose of a high quality car audio system is for me to enjoy it, not other people half a block away. its for me. they didnt pay me for a ticket to my concert, so unless i really like them, they're not hearing it. period.
i think its time to grow up for you...ditch the 15's or go with one. you'd be MUCH happier with a GOOD 12" sql sub.
