Mythbusters

First topic message reminder :

Anyone catch it tonight? They were trying to get some SK rifles to fire from the sound of a car stereo , they had it up to a whopping 159.5 dB on an AC mic. LOL the truck had 4 10's, 4 15's, and 2 20's in it. LOL

I think they need to use a REAL competition system.

where can i find the clip, not seeing it on youtube or discovery site

funny thing is that contraption they built was actually louder than everyone that has posted on here about it,lol. it did a 161.8 legal on the dash before the surround tore,lol. guess they arent to bad. imagine if they had some real equipment. id be curious to see what they could do. and the first show was to see if you could actually break a car with sound, and they did. the mistake they made ws they did a luxury car with a moonroof and that was the weakest link! popped rite out.

no they had Wayne Harris on the show and they used the termlab

The MTX escalade is just a factory demo car. I've talked to some people and they said its actually pretty loud


I liked when they smoked the sub and they said it was uncured resin lol

^^ That was a good one. LOL Even tho we all know what the electrical type burn smell is. Box of smoke proves it. LMAO

I'm not a fan of jack hammers

yeah i mean 159db isn't that loud for a daily playable vehicle. Especially one that wasn't built with numbers in mind. I mean its not louder than any of the cars on here or anything. Its a show truck not an spl truck. Just my two cents lol.

and those are supposed to be mtx's flagship subs

not really a flag ship sub, it was made so people like professional athletes could have something that the high school kid down the street didn't have. Its more of a statement or a status sub if you will. So people can say their sub cost more than your car lol.

I just watched that clip and I havent seen that much smoke pour out of a vehicle since I sat in a truck that blew a, wait for it... MTX RFL 15. This truck was at CES 2 years ago, beautiful truck with an amazing install but they would not demo it. They claimed it was so loud it was getting sound tickets inside the convention center and they would only demo it for 2 minutes at the top of each hour so like a dumbass I waited for the demo and I must say that is a lot of money for not much sound, I think the 12's above the Jackhammers made more of an impact. Plus anyone remember the Pimp My Ride when they installed the Jackhammer in a Buick Century with 6000 watts and the thing was only doing a 130, granted they installed a Radio Shack meter which peaked at 130. That car was also at CES 2 years ago but they never turned it on, Hmmm

Its funny we had a sub smoke like that at the nw audio show and yes it was an mtx sub. The funny thing was it still worked just fine. It actually did it twice before it blew.

mtx FTL!

The Avalanche was built to be a Demo vehicle not to compete against people that talk about doing numbers haha. Really though I give MTX props it looks sick and 15 years ago a 140 was loud so idk each is own 159 is perty good for a demo vehicle even if it only looks intemidating

x2 i think that truck looks kick ars...

Myself X3 what up Rowland ???? When you coming to Texas?

The MTX truck, in reality was only doing about a 153-154 IF that, it was on an AC mic

Even if it was a 153 its still good for a demo vehicle/ Most manufactures dont even build demo vehicles any more

sooo sounds like there is mix up in mythbuster episodes.......

One episode is to rattle the car apart

Another episode is the ability to set of rifle/gun.

Either episode was entertaining but, I think if any one of the competiton orgs was given a chance instead of a manufacture the outcome would of been more intense.

It was brought up that the MTX g ride was not loud, thats not what it was built for is all I'm saying

i want to soon i just keep spending money on that damn van that wont get loud

That cuz you want more, Like a crack head lmao

Ive heard rumor that MTX wants to get back into spl, so we will see what comes in the future. Guess we will see...

don't they have square subs now??

yes they do

I saw the square subs at CES this year, they were in a demo vehicle which had 18 of them (the truck was turned on but not up) I swear they are Kicker subs with the Kicker "K" scratched off (even my friend who is not into audio like me noticed the same thing), they must be made by the same manufacturer.

Definitely not kicker subs. The ones you saw at CES were the TS55 which is the L5 comparison. They claim 4db louder than the kicker sub. I did see a test where both subs were in their own pre fab boxes you buy them in with the same amount of power and it was a 4db difference. They have more excursion which is the reason they claim to be louder I believe. I have been very impressed with them.
