Yeah, I'm a little curious too. I know some of you in the NEC (before he moved) and the west coast (after) were good friends with him outside VS, we only really talked about audio stuff. I've talked with him once or twice since he left and he's doing real well with tons of work to keep him busy, but we never talked about his suby or anything else. I know at one point his wife's car got stolen out of his driveway, and in a major stroke of luck the police found it 2 days later with nothing missing besides a few CD's and an empty tank of gas (or similar). Sometimes I run across his installs over on icix and while they're nothing "out of this world" they're all very clean and classy. Oh well maybe he'll stop back some day and say hi haha.

As for the OP's question didn't someone on here blow out their sunroof? Maybe Adam? I know he runs two 15's and there are others on here with 15's or multiple 12's. I also think Kevin (underlord) lost a rear window in his wagon but there was doubt as to whether that came from the system itself, or someone else trying to get TO the system. In my 850 sedan I had three JL 10W6's on a PCX1500 at 1 ohm (probably pushing 2kW). I wrecked the car a month later so I never got a chance to measure it or anything but it was very loud.

LOL that was due to a wrench or some sort of tools in the back of the wagon

ROFL... or a wrench. I just remember that it happened :lol: kinda forgot how. I actually almost had a similar experience with a sub box that wasn't bolted down. Hit the plastic trim just under the window hard enough to crack it in half.

I have a 10" mtx 600w sub, pioneer 6x9's on the rear deck, pioneer 6" in the rear doors, pioneer 5.25" in the front doors, pioneer 3" in the dash, 450w amp for the sub, pioneer head unit. So its loud but not the loudest.

sounds like you went into best buy and said "Put a system in my car."

Actually I didn't, over a couple week nights my friend and I did the whole thing. I have a friend is a distributor and got me some at cost (no... they aren't stolen). So I decided to go what sounded best (as in I WENT to best buy to hear the speakers in the little setup they have).

Interesting tidbid:

enthusiasts don't like big-box stores. :D

Just like we don't get our mods at pep boys or discount, we don't get our speakers at bestbuy. big surprise lol.

I'm sure you do a wonderful job installing systems. But every highschool kid who walks in and says "i want a dope system for $150" gives these stores a bad rep, along with every highschool kid who works there and does those shitty installs.

oh well.

I'll still buy my stuff on ebay and put it in myself ;) .

I think best buy might have one maybe two subs that are even worth getting the title descent. Other than that their product is garbage. I like how you brought up their installs.......... I would honestly rather let my dog give it a try then take it to them.

Im working on a box for the three memphis's but think im going to have a little trouble. I got it drawn out to scale and it will fit and each sub will have plenty of airspace but it will never fit through the trunk lid or from the seat( folded down). With that I think i am going to down grade to 12's and get a pair of kicker CVX's.

Can anyone tell me more about this ABC box......????
