bluethunder Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 For me it would be around 2001. My best friends brother at the time had 4 15" ppi subs in his tahoe. He used to come bumping down the street everday while we were out playing. from then I was hooked. Quote
Knocker Posted April 4, 2016 Report Posted April 4, 2016 Four Alpine 6012 (made by Gauss with 4 inch coils) 12" subs in the back of my '89 Honda Civic. All sealed at 1.4 cubes per driver for a QTC of .505 each. Sounded amazing. Alpine tech support told me on the phone that a smaller box (.8 cubes per driver) would yield a QTC of .707 and I'd be "boomin down the street like a minitruck" and was unacceptable!

jroo Posted April 8, 2016 Report Posted April 8, 2016 The 2 systems that I will never get out of my head. Ive searched for that experience ever since. 1st was a shop Astro van for a local shop. Shop was really have in high end home audio and brought car audio in for a couple of years. They used all Infinity Beta except the tweeters which were the Infinity kappa ribbon tweeters. 4 Beta 12's, 6 Beta 6's (3 in each front door in pods), Beta 4s in the dash, and Infinity Ribbons in the A pillar, All US Amps with I think was a Denon head unit. That thing was loud and crisp. My cousin and I sat in the front seats and both our jaws dropped. He played a bunch of music but once he put that Deathrow cd in, it was over. 2nd car was a Cadillac Deville a shop just finished. Car was like 92 body style. Installer took me out to the bay to listen to it because they were surprised by it. All I remember was a 4th order with 4 12 round solobarics ported through the rear deck. The one thing that I never forget is it sounded like music. It hit hard, but was musical not just bang. The other thing was it didn't have any rattles. They open and shut the doors a couple of times and it basically sounded like bass with door open and vault with the door closed. Quote

tmacg12345 Posted April 8, 2016 Report Posted April 8, 2016 throughout the years my father owned some old 12" crunch woofers on an unknown cheap 1000w amp. he built a small blow through half walled in his s10 when he was a teenager and kept it until I was about 5. I still remember thinking how loud it was jamming to some master of puppets headed to gmas. good times.. over the years he got some Rockford woofers and an old 1500w power amp and put it in his z. that was loud but I think officially the Rockford soundlab did it for me. that's when I realized bass could hurt you and literally pull the breath out of your lungs. I wish I had a video of me when the bass dropped haha. went from a 143ish (ear/memory meter) to a 160. Quote
