i realize the list has always been opinion,but opinions change so often....i listened to this guy's system again last night,i was blinded by the bass the first time i think.yeah,it sounds louder,but mine is actualy alot cleaner,now that i've "listened" a little bit...i'd still have to say that i'm fairly impressed with those little pa 10's though.ya' know,talking abut certain vehicles being louder,i had an old friend who had a single cerwin vega stealth 15 in,a sealed box,off of a pos philips sound labs amp in an '89 probe,it would make you queezy...just thought about that one

A guy way back in the day had a little yellow CRX. Single 10" RF sub, 150 WRMS...

My god it was insanely loud...

actually ford probes are some of the crappiest spl vehicles around.

ive always thought that systems installed in the acura integras sounded amazing most of the time... ims ure theres some that sound better, but ive driven 2 integras and they both had the best sound, 1 im not sure what it had it had in it, it was my older brothers car, all i know was it was all pioneer except for the 2-10's, and the other had 2-12's and infinity speakers in it...im nto a huge fan of infinty or pioneer, but those 2 cars both sounded pretty bitchin.

A Blazer, while not a bad SPL vehicle, isn't going to match a hatchback unless you really take advantage of the room they offer (have the whole back end crammed with equipment) Kinda like a CRX, they'll get loud as snot off of mediocre equipment as well.
On top of that it's the shitton of 6x9s he has, and the fact that he has basically 3 sets of speakers in the car.

bingo.
power, speaker cone area, and mainly in this case, the fact that he has a smaller airspace and a hatchback, and you have a big boxy SUV. He had the advantage.
