Friend's Window Shatters... How loud is your bass

2002GT · 11-22-2003, 09:04 PM

I was hanging with a friend Blake, wBkM85, and we were riding around town in his gagt and we had the music up, and then all of a sudden we hear a lound sound... We look back and the window is cracked all to hell, and then we start to drive back to his house and half way there and it shatters into the back seat... He will post pics in the morning...

So... how loud's your bass..

maybe someone just threw a rock at you and you didnt hear it cause you thought it was the bass

2002GT · 11-22-2003, 09:14 PM

it was in a well lit gas station with no one around...

InspectorGAGT · 11-22-2003, 10:13 PM

Wow...that's very impressive.

What kind of system is he running in there?

2002GT · 11-22-2003, 10:49 PM

Not sure of the brands... but I kno it's 2 12's

Molson · 11-22-2003, 11:02 PM

Meh, I have 2 12s too.. Could be, but I highly doubt it was the bass, it would take a lot of pressure to do that. I have seen windows shatter from evironmental changes, ie: temperature, airpressure, etc.

2002GT · 11-22-2003, 11:05 PM

does he count that he cut out ports in his back thing under the rear windshiled..

Molson · 11-22-2003, 11:21 PM

sure, could count, but like I said, it would take a LOT of pressure to do that.

What kinda Db's does he push? I've seen it happen in old civic hatches, with close to (or more then) 150DB pushing against the hatch window.
Right now, I can hit 145ish, its enough to make you nausious and hair bounce around, but not to shatter the rear window. Cause you can punch a window pretty hard before it breaks. (soft blunt object, not a hammer)

I saw it happen in a Pony, but it was like 30 friggin degrees outside, had ice on his windows, and then started bumpin his bass as loud as possible and his rear window cracked a bit. I think it was mainly from the cold...

GroundZero · 11-23-2003, 02:54 AM

yea i cracked my rear windshield it didnt shatter but it cracked pretty sweet 3 solos will do it. i barley even listen to my subs anymore it gets me sick to my stomach

blake · 11-23-2003, 09:10 AM

i got lots of pics of it this morning...but need somewhere to host them b/c they are huge files high resolution pics, photohost won't due to their size...if no one has any places ill just resize a few of them

..... Do think these could have been the result of the problem?

Also did they help increase the bass internally? Just curious if folding down the backseat gives you the same result or because of the pressure being centered does these change the effect and sound quality?

Open for discussion....

Jagey · 11-23-2003, 09:54 AM

i highly doubt the bass was the sole cause of that. VERY highly doubt.

11-23-2003, 12:45 PM

Not to start a war but..... what a moron. Music does not need to be THAT loud.

Panacea · 11-23-2003, 12:55 PM

Yeah, if the music was loud enough to break windows, it's loud enough to make you deaf!
