sup im new to this car audio stuff....

but this dude had told me his friend shattered his back window of his EK, with two 12s "audiobahn"

im just wondering is that even possible?


im looking forward to put two 10's and one 12 in my EK and im scared my back window will shatter lol

plz help!

 

i dont think 2 12s can do that unless his window is already cracked? my friend has 3 12s JLW3 in his ek and its not even close to shattering his back widow. I used to roll with 2 15s in my eg i know call me crazy but yeah even with 2 15s it wasnt even close to shatter my back window and i was pushing it with a good amp too, zapco 1100watts 1 channel.

It generally won't shatter unless you're at a very high SPL level, or, yes, there was already some stress on the glass.

Also, it's not ideal to mix different speakers/woofers which play the same frequency range [you said you were going to use 10s AND 12s...]

 

unless the car was set up for competitions, extremely stiff.. and reinforced, and the vents were blocked... I would say the window will remain in tact... My friend had 8 12s in a geo metro, they could have had more power to sound better, but it was still only for SPL... All that happened were loosening screws in the windows. No cracks or breaks. Probably because it was not completely air tight.

negative...or at least HIGHLY IMPROBABLE

I've worked with cars making 160+ db...if that doesn't shatter a back glass or a winshield, two of anything certainly isn't going to it.

 

hehe thanks alot guys
