Is this possible? My father is saying that if i install subs and better speakers my windows will bust if i bump it while the windows and hatch are closed....please help and dont flame

 

it is posible i busted one in a comp that i was in i aslo was running 9 SUBS

 

holy crap...what about just 2 12" subs and an amp...

AMP: Kicker ZX650.4
Subs: Kicker CompVR 05CVR124

 

your car would have to be sealed pretty tight with no air coming inor out and you would have to have crazy bassbeing pushed through your subs, the glass in our cars is pretty strong though, especially the hatch.

 

you have nothing to worry about with two 12's in the hatch and yes you do have to have the car sealed real good. i also had the 3 12 faceing the glass that was hitting it hard you could see the window flexing it was the best $20 i spent on a window.

 

theres nothing to worry about...even tho with my sealed 15" L7 with a lame 500 watts could flex the hatch glass just a little bit

 

i seen a guy with a VW that busted out the back glass with 4 15's 4500 watts

 

I did that with 2 xplod 12's and a lanzar 800.1. They sent of chunk of hatch glass into my buddies mom's porch. She was pissed

 

The direction the speakers are pointed makes no difference, the only thing that matters is how much pressure is in the car and the condition of the glass. You can bump as many subs as you want pointed at your hatch but it'll never blow if you have your door open.

 

wow thats insane from 800watts

 

anything is possible....especially if your glass is old.

 

mythbusters made a 48 inch sub powered by a diesel engine that put out 168 decibels at 18hz and all it did was blow out the sunroof. glass did not shatter, just bent the tracks...

 

The pressure is going to go through the point of least resistance. My guess is the pressure will go through your seals before it breaks the glass

 

I've never heard of a car blowing a hatch without insane pressures... and yes, it will definitely blow through all the other holes in your car first... your seals, your t-tops, vents, undercarriage holes, etc...

you have absolutely nothing to worry about. other than horrible rattles...

 

My 1988 camaro with two JL 10' with 500 w kenwood amp and my hatch keeps coming lose how do i fix tht one?

 

^^ what he said... my car rattles like a ****.. i hate it

 

is it motorized?

if so, then sometimes bad wiring can cause problems

also, if the wiring is having problems even on a non-motorized one, it can trigger the trunk-release relay...

if it's PHYSICALLY causing it to open, then you need to readjust your locking mechanism, since that's pretty damn dangerous...

 

1 ea, 10" L7 Solobaric with 1100 RMS in a ported box and lots of Dynamat. No glass breakage of any kind. Will make your ears ring, though.

 

yah like it keeps makeing the screws come lose and then it move down and won't close right

 

That either never happened, or it was when either the crappy subs or the crappier amp literally blew up; smashing the glass.

 

I'd be surprised if that lanzar 800 could even blow a single 6x9

 

I agree...not to mention Xplod subs...I kind of just thought... and kept reading on

 

yeah, I usually just skim over crap like that... but since he brought it up...

 

ok can believe it now that hatch can blo out from subs.Saw my buddies escalade blow out the back side glass and spiderweb/flex the windshield last night first hand.Still need to ask him what all he's runnin so i don't blow up my R.S..But his system is stout enuff that not maxxed out(b4 the windows popped out)it was blowin my hair back standin in the open door.The windshield is a total loss(guess i'm lookin for 1 for him at the bone yards.)but the back side glass didn't hit the ground as we were standing there with gloved hands holding them incase they blew.They just poped out at the seals but the windshield flexxed and spiderwebbed and i mean FLEEEEXXEEDD .It looked for all the world like it was made outta plastic wrap.LOL

 

Yeah, that's on a (I take it,) relatively-new Escalade... the seals are actually tight enough to cause damage...

on a car like ours, the air will escape in all sorts of places before damaging a window..

hell, the air will just rush out of the window seals, since we don't have an upper door frame. That's how thieves get in so easily, well, one way.

 

138.5dbs doesnt blow my window out so you shouldnt have any problems thats 2 jl 12s and a 500 watt bazooka mono block

 

It was a joke Took longer for you guys to call me on that than I thought .

 

I i have two jl; w6 13" and two precision power amps pcx-2200 600 rms each, 2 , 6"1/2, 2 6x9" Alpine type R, its like more than a thousand rms , will the bass do any damage to my windshiel or hatch?? my car is an 1990 iroc z28 w/ttops

 

if you welded your doors shut, welded the hatch shut, and your car could retain water without leaking, then MAYBE, just maybe, you could break a window or hatch... assuming some other panel didn't blow off the car first...

 

i had a pair of 10s with kevlar cones running at 1000W @ 1ohm RMS and didnt do much, as they said the window would flex a little but that was about it. By the way they where facing the window

 

Mythbusters did a whole episode on this... they made a HUGE sub powered off the car's engine and it blew the sunroof off before windows broke!

 

thank god for safety glass

 

You cant in a Camaro - there are two vents right behind the rear tires under the rear bumper cover - all cars have this - cept like cars from the 40's and earlier - but these vents are what makes the the doors shut - if the car didnt have an escape for air the doors would never shut - like pluging a tire pump and trying to pump it. Plus if you look in the spare tire area - there are some many hole that you can see the ground through lol - Plus i have 2 12" Type-Rs 1400 watts 2 6" 4" 6x9 and 2 6" subs which are ran from a 300 watt amp plus two TVs, DVD, and Playstaion 2 (has nothing to do with the window breaking but i just wanted to throw that in)
no window flex or anything
