What makes a ground pounder?


Recommended Posts

So just curious since everyone has different opinions. What do you personally classify as a minimum to be a ground pounder?

For example a certain surface area of total subwoofers, a minimum watt output? Just looking for people's opinions on what it takes to become a ground pounder.

My wife's dad had a awesome gp, he had 4 12's and 4 18's. The 12s were tuned to 45 for the higher bass and the 18s were tuned to 20. For amps he had 6 Lanzar Vector 6000 amps. That's 24,000 watts with factory alt and battery.

Back to reality, when people who say stupid shit like I typed above, agree your system is fucking loud and bail.

A ground pounder to imo is a vehicle that is just simply loud. Its about slaughtering the lows and making stuff move other then air. Power and cone area the key to this just like a number chasing system but tuned and built for daily use.

Might not be the loudest on the mic but most people will say its the loudest before seeing it on a mic.

To me, a ground pounder is a car that can hammer the bass, and still sound good. No burp boxes, no crazy 6th orders that can only play a 3 hz bandwidth, no cheap janky shit that sounds like ass.

A ground pounder has to:

Have mega bass, 150+ ON MUSIC

Have enough mids and highs to balance the bass

Sound clean as Hell and be versatile to play different kinds of music well.

Sound a little difficult? It is. They are out there, but most guys live and die by the meter. Unfortunately, you can make a car meter crazy loud and still sound like ass.

Meter score has nothing to do with ground pounders imo.

I've heard a few setups that would shake stuff like bottles on the ground a good distance from their car all sealed up but couldn't break 150 on a meter.

There are people doing hair tricks that can't break a 150, just takes low freq, power and cone area. Some of the best ground pounders can most likely do hair tricks.
