Ok, so I’ve been running a 300 watt Rockford p300 powered subwoofer system for about a year now and decided to upgrade.
I decided on the Rockford p3-2x12 box and a Rockford power 1000 watt amp. Anyways so those came in 2 days ago, and I had some fun on the day I set them up but turned them down to let them break in a little and to not loose my hearing because it physically hurts to play them at 3/4 or higher (they only get to around 98 dB so its not crazy or anything, just kinda feels really uncomforatble to play that loud). Well anyways today I decide to show off to my friend who has a 2000 watt rms Skar audio setup, and I turned it up to around 5/6ths of its total power. I had the gain at around half (used multimeter to set it up properly) and was adjusting the power from my head unit.
Anyways I played around 10 seconds of Starboy and noticed my windshield cracked. Now there is 3 cracks that branch out from a center dot right behind my mirror. the glass is only cracked on the inside so that tells me that there was no rock or anything like that that hit it. The cracks go out about 3-4 inches and they are just straight lines.
Insurance said they will cover it if the windshield can be repaired, but they won’t do $H1t if I have to replace it. Anyways safelight comes on Wednesday. I’m wondering how I see videos of people running like 5000 watt systems and don’t crack windshields. Hell, even my friend who has those 2 15’s at 2000 watts... he doesn’t crack anything. I’m wondering how, if possible, to prevent this in the future. I feel like it’s the mirror shaking against the window since the origin of the cracks is directly behind the mirror. ANY HELP WOULD BE EXTELEMY APPRECIATIED. Thank you all so much.
