Four 12s in maxima?

It depends on the subwoofer and the power given to them. Say 4 Sony Xplode 12's fed their reccomended power....that probably's couldnt break a piece of drywall, never mind glass. However you put say 4 12" Cerwin Vega Strokers or Digital Designs 9512's, with like 1200wrms each, and you are guaranteed to do a lot more than just break the windows.

It's dual duals. If you see the rest of the car, you'll know how ugly that thing is.

You will NOT break a window and you WILL impress your friends and give them headaches. Remember, before you do ANYTHING ... Dynamat. You'll gain as much as 3dB (twice as loud) just by dynamatting your trunk.

Anything more than 2 12"'s is either for Sound Pressure Competition or Rice burning (Yeah, well I HAVE 6 15"'s!!!; I love hearing that).
My friend Jamie has 4 15's in his Benz SL and it's for SPL comp. You don't even sit in the car during comp...
2 woofers smaller than 15" but larger than 8" run the most effeciently in a simple ported or sealed enclosure.

I currently have two MTX 4000 series 12" subs running on a Kenwood 600 amp (200rms/channel)... I am going to add two more MTX 4000 series 12" subs and another Kenwood 600 amp... all in seperate enclosures, two facing the front and two facing the rear of the trunk... (and yet, rice does not become a question to me)...

I have 3 jl audio 10"w3 with a custom box i built that sound sweet, deep, and tight. I have jl audio 500/1 running those. If you check the lastest issue of "mobile entertainment" the fast and furious max is in there show his system. what a system he has. I post some pic of my set soon

i have 3 12' JL's with an Xtant 1001d. no problems. but the subs are old, w0's I think and the amp is only on half power, i think. i need to have the box redone so i can use more of my trunk.

Doubling the wattage going to a sub raises the noise 3db.
2x Power = 1/2 x louder = 3Db.
But yes, Dynamat really helps. Alot cheaper than buying 2x more juice.

Also you may not necessarily double the loudness by adding more power if the xmax of the sub isn't sufficient to handle the cone movement.

No comment. I suggest you go do some research before posting bs like this. Even better, how about you go to radio shack and buy an spl meter. Measure 3db increments and then tell me its twice as loud, and I'll shut up. My guess that if you start playing something at 120db (which is about a rock concert volume level) and end at 135db you should be deaf, as that would be 32x louder.

(what you THINK is twice as loud).." Straight from the mouths of my car stereo team. If you want me to I can ask Alma Gates ... she is on the team after all ...

How many decibels louder is a sound if you crank it up to be twice as loud?
Easy! Let PA be the sound pressure level after you've cranked it up. Let PB be the original SPL. If (PA / PB) = 2, then
20 log (PA / PB) = 20 log (2) = 6.0206 dB
which is damn close to (a mathematical term, meaning "approximately") 6 dB. We can therefore say that, as a rule of thumb,
--->An increase of 6dB of a sound means "twice as loud."<----
This is a pretty handy thing to remember! If you are boosting a signal by 6 dB, that means you're doubling the amplitude. Conversely,
A decrease of 6 dB of a sound means "half as loud."

I also have other resources I can find proving my point if you don't believe that.
THANK YOU.
I'll be here all week.
