well they put that MTX jackhammer in this guy's car. Something like 370lbs or something. The electrical guy built in a db meter into his dash so he could see the db. Once he hit over 100 he had this little light relayed to come on and it flashed behind this plexiglass (laser cut to say ridiculous bass or something). They showed him hit 130db with it. I want to say its like 35" tall and 23" wide. Wonder what that thing can really hit.


anyways, you might want to look for it next time you are watching TV, they dont always do a lot with the sound system (at least they dont show what they do) but they showed quite a bit on this one.

i think its pretty much an over priced over hyped piece of shit. ohh 130 i did over that with my bravox 12"s (2) in a sealed box and not really trying.

22" sub
I was amused with the 130 as well.
install looked nice though.

I was happier with the Honda Civic ricer Foose built on OVerhaulin' with the All Eclipse system.

Chip Foose is awesome... Overhaulin actually does a really good job on their cars, pimp my ride just comments on how "this is the worse ride ever", throws in a toaster, tugs on the dudes shirt and tells him he's been pimped!

Why the hell are you hating? wcc does some sick stuff. Just because its not your personality, I'm gonna be as bold as to say just because they're black and hispanic for the most part, doesn't mean you can bash them. It's a good show.

Go out of your way and form an opinion on your own people.

Why do you hate WCC? do you really think they have control over Pimp My Ride? i'mi pretty sure MTV just rents the WCC crew and shop, and tell sthem what to do.

We are hating because the whole premise of the show is retarded (no offence to the retards). They take a vehicle in terrible condition, about to die, and put tons of money into the interior, stereo and stuff like that. They never even touch the engine, so the car will still die within a month. Hooray I have a water fountain in my car! It's stupid. Overhaulin' is cool, because they actually do the whole car, not just the cosmetic aspects of it.

Don't even bring race into this, seriously...

im far from raceist. they pimp out a car by putting a pop corn machine a body kit on a car. they dont do jack shit to the motor or anything. they had one car come in that was splice right down the floorboard so what do they do throw some rims on there cause they are shinny and big. what they do on the show is nothing like car customizing should be. or lets throw a monitor on the spare tire under the car so you cant take your spare tire off when you need it and cant watch it unless you under the car. thats got to be one of the stupidest things i have ever seen.
