"blowing out" normally means blowing the seam around it... the windshield doesnt physically fly out... and again, its generally because your in a cheaper car that flexes alot. |

Silver Member Username: Smoke05Tucson, Arizona U.S. Post Number: 348 Registered: Jan-07 | no... this was way back i think i was a freshman i highschool, not to mention it was in mexico, but i mean it wasnt the biggest thing, the window had a crack already and what happen was that the insulation got loose, they just putted the window back |

That's just a science experiment that would never happen IRL though, and usually it's just what the others suggested I believe. |

Silver Member Username: Waterboy2289Georgia, DiRtY SoUtH ... 2 18 SX w/ ... Post Number: 237 Registered: Jan-06 | This guy blew a window(scroll down almost to the bottom and there is pics): http://www.splbassx.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=7699&st=45 But he a competition tuned bandpass firing into a single cab truck with 8000w rms, so it's understandable why. I cannot stand the idiots that I have talked to who have told me: "my boy blew his windshield, he had 4 12's in a sealed box on a power acoustik amp." Those ridiculous stories piss me off so bad, or when people try to tell me 150db is weak and "they have a friend who can do 210db." Those people need to point a knife at themselves and run into a wall with it as hard as possible, thus dieing a slow, painfull death. |

Gold Member Username: J_baby15DiRtY 5oUtH ... Post Number: 1584 Registered: Feb-06 | thats wat hes talkn bout....and to me taht wasnt really a sound system, they were trying to bust it out simply by pressure(which i guess is wat SPL is) but still.....I think it did like 160s at 20hz tho which is insane... |

Gold Member Username: OglejustPost Number: 1407 Registered: Aug-06 | if theres a crack in the window its possible to break it.... you can pop it out bc of the pressure but if ur asking if u can shatter a window then no unless theres a crack /thread |
