if you think those subs are what caused the windshield to crack, do a search.
They look like good subs for the money, but you sure aren't going to be cracking anything with them unless you drop them through a t-top by accident. With that low sensitivity, a pair of those won't even go as loud as a single 10w0 with the same amount of input power.

cracking a windshield will take a good 165db system. It may have extended a crack from the vibration but it didnt cause a crack.
anywho, those subs are pretty common, some people have good results with them. good luck

And especially with 200 watts. I'd be shocked if that setup reached over 130dB.

Trust me, it wasn't the subs. Especially in a jeep. Those are about as airtight as a can of cheese whiz in the hands of a fat kid. Not only do you need EXTREME SPL levels like Boomin Boy mentioned, but you need an interior that is capable of containing that amount of SPL. In any normal car, your door seals will leak first, or in extreme cases, the window seals will leak, but the glass ain't breakin.
