The most stupid car audio rumors


Recommended Posts

that is actually within range of class A/B efficiency.

Yes it is, but most people don't realize they can be up to 70% efficient, and group them all as 50%.

Sigh...facepalm. I don't know if its the cold or our seperation from the rest of America that adds to some of our...more stupid rumors.

Guy had mattress stuffing in his box because, his science explained to me, the loudness of the subs in a box depend on the soundwaves vibrating off of the inner walls of the box. So putting all the stuffing inside fooled the sound waves into thinking they were in a larger box since it took longer to bounce off the walls, meaning the soundwaves vibrated more and longer making it louder and more powerful.....

pretty sure the stuff in some pillows is poly fill. and it does what you just said. makes the sub play as if the enclosure is bigger at least

...no. 18 has more cone area and way more power.

my 12"s on two saz1500's beat several single 18"s and was 3db louder than two 15"s with 3k on each. so... ya. its very possible. now 500w vs 2500w... it would have to be a broke genius going against a moron with money lol.

One of my favorites said to me was "Don't play your system with your trunk open cause it's bad for your

subs. They need the trunk closed in order for it to work right" lol

that isnt wrong... i would never play my system full tilt with the hatch open. the subs will unload and bottom out. mind you, not every system is like that... probably most but there is some truth to it.

"This 2000 watt Legacy is only $89.99, that's such a good deal."

Lol.

lol i said that same thing when i got my 1st amp... it was a legacy... so many flashing lights it looked like an alien was flying under my seats. :noob:

yes, but what he was using was not polyfill and he didnt understand the science. not to mention it was used in a ported box built to spec...makes the use of polyfill useless in my opinion. his understanding of how it works and when it should be used was a complete fail.

Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

Um, thats true.

Depending on the enclosure, you can blow subs from playing too hard with no pressure being able to be built up to help control cone movement.

You can play them, but if you go full power, you can cause damage.

The trunk, or hatch of a car and cabin of the car actually make the car act like a bandpass enclosure. Opening the trunk or hatch will change that enclosure and it will not work properly.

Some enclosures and setups can still play, but tuning is changed.
