The most stupid car audio rumors


Recommended Posts

Glad I saw this thread. Yesterday I was talking to a owner about my busted up Pioneer unit and started talking about my setup. He asked why 1 18 as opposed to 2 12's. I said a little more cone area and I hoped to wall 2 18's off in a little while. He pauses and says 2 12's have more cone area. I ask how do you figure. Exact quote..."The cone of two 12's is 24(12 +12) while an 18 has the cone area of 18". ( :orly3: )I had to take a minute and think... did he really just say that. :trippy:

15's and 18's will be louder across the street than inside the car. if you want to hear the beat in the car better go with 10's and 12's... what crap. the same ppl told me that 15's and 18's were to slow for a musical application. early 90's.

funny that the shops that tell you this usually arent carrying 15's and 18's isnt it... i.e. the best buy sign.

Anything about bridging an amp. I get a kick outta the kids who dont know what ohm load their sub is but its ok bridging it makes it louder

Prefab is better! I hate those noobs!

I have a friend that's dad bought him a prefab box, and he didn't want to make his dad feel bad, so he used it. It had the correct dimensions for his 2 SA-12's. He was using a Sundown Audio 1200 and blew a hole in the back of the box... I told him beforehand there was a possibility of it happening, and he said... " If it happens, Oh Well." Lol

Long story short. Prefab's can suck.

Mainstream brands are the best.

Paying 1000 to get two JL's installed is better than anything out there

Ha ha some guy at work told me that my DC XL 15"s on a VFL500.1 wouldnt be as loud as his one JL W7 on a JL 1000wrms amp, cause mine "arent a name brand". I laughed at him. :pardon:

"JL Audio Is the Loudest subwoofer available". also this happened to me recently, contemplating on a wall build, and this guy from my college says "Put a jackhammer in your car, nobody can beat it" <<---

damn thing didnt edit lol

ummmmm that every basshead plays music at 3am.

i had a guy on another forum tell me this

Good thing your driver's window is open.... or your windshield might end up on the hood. I have a an acquaintance that had 4 Fosgate 15s in a Chev 1500 cab and 1/2, backseats removed and the 15s glassed into a custom fit. Turned the stereo up to counter the Hondah Snivic rattle trap that pulled up beside.... trouble is... the subs launched the rear window into the box of the truck. Lesson learned.

Any thing that involves the word funky pups is stupid and annoying personally..

whats wrong did a FP touch you when you were younger? :lol:

That you can bridge any amp :orly3:

that 12s can outplay 15s and 18s frequency wise
