Explain Something to Me...

[Boomer73]

I'm not hatin' just explain something to me:

Today I saw a Suburban it had the back two rows of seats removed and in their place it was packed with amps, speakers, and monitors all in custom enclosures. So a 7000lb vehicle, with two seats, and probably $15K of audio equipment packed into the the worlds worst auditory environment - a long metal and glass box.

...

Am I missing something? Now I'm not an audiophile, and I understand wanting some bass in your ride, and I get that the factory systems really aren't very good, but seriously, what is the attraction to loading up full size SUV's with ridiculous systems? 6 speakers and sub isn't enough?

What's next, a short bus with two seats and 15' of batteries, amps and subs?

37 views and nobody can explain it. I thought so.

Maybe it was a show truck or just trying to get the highest SPL?

I think the highest I would ever go is one really really nice 18" with 3000W RMS to it. I think it would be LOUD, but still not take up all the room.

my $0.02

(I'm very happy with my 2 Alpine Type R 12s with 750RMS to each)

To each their own! People like what they like! I would not go, so over the top with a system like that, but i have with other things, that others felt were silly.

I can explain, different strokes for different folks.

Yeah I guess. Like I said, I'm not hatin', I just don't understand.

ya probably an all out SPL vehicle that isnt driven daily. personally for me i think once I get my 18 on 900 watts and still have nearly 2 feet of space behind the box for storage ill be more than happy with both the music and space.

its just not for you. there's nothing else to explain.
if stock is good enough for you then by all means stick to stock. i prefer a better sounding setup then most stock stereos and i prefer strong low end.
2 15s, 7000watts rms tuned low to 32hz...

i work in an absolute perfect acoustic environment. my mains have over 3000rms worth of power and sound amazing.
dual 15s (4in Vc)
dual 9 in mid
dual 5in ribbons
single 2in ribbon
all in 1 cabinet...
570lbs each with 21inch subwoofer that has 6inch vc

b&w 805's and jbl monitors as well

 

[Boomer73]

No stock is definitely not good enough for me, but lets see this setup droppedHoe.
