I call bullshit on every person saying the solo x *****. I challenge you to find a YouTube video of something that is the same amount of subs shaking a car like what I've seen. Cuz you can't. 5000 watts rms. Have fun finding better

Where do I even start...

A car rattling is the worst possible way to gauge how loud a system is. Have you ever been to an actual car audio competition before? Have you ever noticed how the guys who utilize sound deadening in their cars end up with a system that rattles WAY less than yours and meters WAY higher than yours? Then again, if you had gone to a car audio competition before (a legitimate one, not the one at your high school), you probably wouldn't still be saying that a square sub has magical pixies that protrude from the corners that circle subs don't have, and thus make the bass travel further.

Let me make things simple for you. A cone of a subwoofer pushes air, and the pressure that is created is what we meter at a competition. Now, a circular cone that is 12" in diameter versus a square sub that is 12" in diameter will have less cone area. Do the math for yourself: area of a square = d^2 (or diameter squared, if you don't understand geometry); area of a circle = πr^2 (pi times radius squared). Insert 12" for the diameter and 6" for the radius (half diameter). You'll see that the square sub has more cone area. The greater the cone area, the greater the output, all other things kept constant. This is why you think square subs are the holy grail, because of the way they are measured.

Now, you must be thinking, "I'm right, Kickers are better!" Except, you fall short. Sure, a given sub with a square cone versus the same sub with a circular cone will have more output, but that's as far as things go. You can buy a 15" circular sub from, lets say, DC audio, for much less. This sub from DC will be more reliable, have better sound quality, and be able to handle more power (obviously, dependent on the model). So now, you can buy a sub that costs more and doesn't perform better, or just quit acting like square subs have some magical properties that make it louder. Use your head, and you'll see how unbelievably ignorant you sound by thinking that.

I am no smitty. Smitty is nothing like me. I am a new form of forum aids. Incurable.

Hitting the sack don't get banned to fast need entertainment at work tomorrow

you just proved you dont know what your talking about, the cone of a driver (tweet mid or sub) moves the air around it as it moves, that air moving is what causes the sound that our ears pick up when it hits the small bones in them... why do you think there is no sound in space, because there is no air...

How dumb are you? If there's no air in space then how do we transmit and receive satellite images? Satellites emit waves just like speakers do just at a very high frequency...you still need air to get the wave from one spot to the other.

I, jallkriper, solemnly swear to keep trolling in the dome and skar audio forum. Shady business practices shall not be encouraged and shall be dealt with accordingly. Mods, if your reading this, I am good people. And I love you. Kriper out.

that i dont know, im not a engineer that works on satellites, KHO my know though... long story short my post was still correct in the context of the thread.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum

just incase you dont know what a vacuum is...

It was obvious that he was trolling from the very beginning. I just sat back and watched... It was quite entertaining how like 20 people or so ganged up on one person. lol

Actually, there isn't "air". Space is a vacuum. Waves used by satellites are electromagnetic waves, which will travel through a vaccuum. Sound waves are mechanical waves, and require a medium to travel through. I don't know the inner workings of either though.
