                  ^^^prove it!!!^^^

                  4 vr's will never hit 160.

                  and you will never need 2 altrenators for 4 vr's.

                  I just installed 4 13.5 inch JL audio w7's in a tahoe with 4 1000 watt JL audio amps, 4 caps, 4 batteries and 1 big ass alt, and his lights dont dim a bit.

                        Raising the BS flag here, I've seen quite a few competition vehicles hit 150-160 dB and while the windows (OEM..not reinforced) were flexing, they never "Blew out"....I'm sure Wes can probably remember Mark Fukuda's yellow RF Blazer, it was the worlds loudest vehicle for quite a while, well he ran factory glass up to 160decibels. Unless by blew out you mean loosened the seals, that can/does/will happen on a high SPL vehicle and I suppose if the seals were bad long enough it could fall out.

                          Ya, I remember thinkin that he wouldn't hold the record for as long as he did. I have never seen (in all my years in the car audio) glass "blow out". But as Chuck said, I have seen back windows of pickups push the seal out. But the lowest I've seen that at was 169db.

                            Wait a minute, I have seen a back window "break" from the car stereo. But it was because the rear glass of the S10 Blazer was rattling around from the bass and it shattered starting where the striker met the glass. Oh and I've seen a couple of other times when windows have been broke as a result of car stereos. That was from when they were stolen and they broke the glass. haha.

                                      a/b/no weighting scale? Also was it to USAC/IASCA spec (no frequencies above 80Hz measured). I know the old "trick" used to be to use upper harmonics (think midbass/midrange frequencies) to spike the mics
