I saw that one.Honestly that is completely weak as hell on the DB's considering the amount of power it needs to even move.

Dude a few years back i had a S-10 that i competed with in bass comps.I had 4 12's with a way underrated 200watt amp pushing all four.I hit a 157.3 on the dash with them.
For the price of that sub and the amps alone your doin it just for show and it's just that simple.Which is dumber than me competeing in a crank it up contest lol.
But hey i held three state records for that one year i did do it.

i had 2 kicker comp vr's in a custom ported box with a planet audio 800 watt mono channel on them and was hiting 133db's that much speaker with 8500 watts should destroy a car looks pretty insane, though, its financially insane.. 8500 watts, that would be about 8 JL audio 100/1 amps @ around $900 each around $7200

"It is even manufactured in MTX's custom facility with a magnetizer constructed just for this woofer—a magnetizer that wipes out any credit card that dares come within 25 feet!"

So you cant have a vredit or debit card in your wallet when your drive your vehicle
