The most stupid car audio rumors


Recommended Posts

Let's see... one's i've heard...

Alpine is the best brand

<Shop owner pointing at 4 gauge wire> you'll never pull enough power to heat that wire up

my computer has a program that is better than an oscilloscope

loud bass makes you go deaf faster than loud treble

grounding to the body is better than grounding directly to the battery (in a 1 battery setup)

you don't need 0 gauge wire

class ABs are only 50% efficient

capacitors help more than batteries

you can fuse the ground instead of the power wire

You can't break something on your car with bass

The Jackhammer is the best sub ever (ever notice how you could get like 15-20 BTLs for the price of one jackhammer?)

and my favorite... "My system will be louder than yours" (usually some teen who just got their license looking at stereos at walmart)

wtf? dude... fail.

Repeat after me:

"Port area is NOT related to box volume, port area is not related to box volume. . ."

It can be used as a decent approximation, but true required port area is NOT related to box volume.

Sorry. . .

Current system:

1997 Blazer - (4) Customer Fi NEO subs with (8) American Bass Elite 2800.1s

Previous systems:

2000 Suburban - (4) BTL 15's and (4) IA 40.1's = 157.7 dB at 37 Hz.

1992 Astro Van - (6) BTL 15's and (6) IA 40.1's = 159.7 dB at 43 Hz.
