"weve got 3 melodies.... its called first gear second gear and third gear."

Too bad they were only able to test first gear. I am quite impressed with their numbers though. 161DBs at 16Hz. Thats pretty crazy. The high speed footage of the woofer though was hilarious. That woofer was way off balance. lol. I did like the idea of a diesel powered woofer though. Quite creative.

That was really a truly amazing score.....I have only seen a handfull of 150's done in the 30hz range....and I have never seen anyone try to accomplish a score at 16hz!

wow if these guys would have tuned to the resonant frequency of the vehicle, it would have been really scary.

Why do you guys keep on insisting that the jackhammer is the most impressive sub ever? Most impressive PRODUCTION sub, maybe! I would be my life that a jackhammer would never do 161db at 16Hz

Very impressive considering how much they probably lost due to the uneven excursion. If they could have made the excursion more even throughout the stroke, they could have blown away the 161 mark.

They spent a decent amount of time showcasing the car audio show. It was some good pub.
