13.6 gallons of bass will shatter any rear glass, so be careful.

4 funky pups is overkill, you just need 3.

In my old days of SPL, I broke the back glass out of a Toyota with an Orion 280gx on 4 10" subs.
The great part about it is that it happened just as the judging started in the contest. I replaced it the next day thinking that it was just a fluke. It wasn't. i did it again about two months later. Pretty wild to be looking at the glass in your car and it pretty much shatters. Thank goodness for safety glass or it would have been a mess to clean up.

And yes, I have witnesses to back this story up. This was a LONG time ago and my hearing has never been right since that car.

What kind of numbers was your Toyota putting up?

It held 155+ and peaked much higher. The meters 'back then' weren't exactly the quality of today so it would be tough to compare. This was in the late 80's.

Those are some great numbers considering the 280GX was putting out 160 watts @ 2ohms..
