You guys seriously ALL need to email them and tell them about tuning it to a higher hz and everything. If you notice, they ALWAYS revis the myths that they get alot of emails about!!! and i want a part 2, that would kick so much ass i want a diesel sub!

If they had reached 2nd and 3rd gear would it still have been 16Hz with just more output, or would they have reached a higher frequency?

yeah ok kirk. And how would you go about tuning something like that hmmmmm? lol. Like they said in the show, Hz is the amount of sine waves per socond. If they were able to reach second or third gear, the Hz reached would have been much higher.

it would have reached a higher freq because the drivetrain would have been spinning faster. Still 161 db at 14 hz or whatever it was is loving amazing. Too bad that sunroof busted out, I wanted to see some shattered windows damn it.
fiberglass reminds me of peanut brittle... but fiberglass tastes better!

the sunroof only busted because the cone hit it. You can see it in the high speed footage.

If they revisit the myth they need to add a spider to their woofer. That will prevent all the wobbling the woofer was doing.

My understanding is that they were trying to prove or disprove that spl from a subwoofer arrangement could blow out a windshield. If you ask me, you throw in 30 10" subs in a similar wall like they did by taking out the seats to maximize the area for airspace, build and actual enclosure, don't use a car with a sunroof and power the crap out of it and I bet you could blow out or flat out break out a window. Just my 2 cents...
boosh!!

im sure that idea would work silvrefox, but the whole reason why they went with the diesel powered sub is so they didnt have to mess with a crapload of amps and batteries. All they really needed to do was build their woofer stronger and make it slide up and down perfectly straight and they would havve been able to get into atleast 2nd gear. That would have allowed them to produce more SPL at higher freqz which would definitely have busted the windows.

wtf, i missed the brown note episode, what happened? I had a physics teacher who told me the whols story of the professor at i forget what college, who supposidly discovered the brown note. I was told there was a patent/trademark on it that is almost up, and it could be used for science and hospitals and such.
no clue, but what happened on the episode
