Have u ever been in a car that does 150+dB?
i have withstanded sum LOUD AZZ SYSTEMS in my time.
I went to a local shop that sadly closed down now, and listened to there SPL setup
burps at like 161-162.5 dB, i only stood it for liek 10 seconds and i was liek PLZ turn that off. I went back to the truck and i asked my mom if she felt that in the truck(btw the exhaust isnt connected so its loud) shes like, HOLLY HELL YEA lol...she said teh buiulding was shakin, i was also in tears.

Well...I don't think that I would ever accomplish a system that hits 160+ or even 150+ for that matter, but all I know is that my system could use a lot more bass...I'm sort of like bass-ophile in that sense. I want my subs to hit hard as hell, but just short of shattering any windows....and I want them to be able to reproduce the different low end frequencies accurately at the same time (but I know we can't always get what we want).

3ondubs...its hard as shiz to shatter windows. You need to match the resonance frequency...
also if you want to replace ur subs, just tell me wat sizes you want, how many u want, and ur budget and il show u a setup that will be loud as f and sound good

I think that I've had good luck with sellers generally because I've heard many horror stories of how people didn't get what they paid for or that the product was damaged in some way. I like to buy from ebay stores that have a good reputation, but then again, i guess its only a matter of time before i have a bad experience.

It's just very convenient to use paypal once you have it all set up. It's just a one button click to order stuff instead of having to enter all of your information and search different websites. That's also a bad thing because I've bought a lot of things off impulse because they seemed like good deals (my audiobahns). They make it easy to spend/waste money....but then again I've sold tons of things on ebay as well.

just wait till they try and foch you over, then admit that they made the mistakes twice, then still send credit collectors after you....even though THEY were the ones who made the mistakes, and even admitted it....then when it's 31 days after buying something from over seas (sometimes it takes longer than 30 days to get through customes etc) and you report fraud and they say you can't claim anything because it's longer than 30 days! I don't see them lasting much longer honnestly....just wait, you'll get screwed, everyone does.

go to a SPL comp, that 161ish system won't mean crap to you at that point...hell, go stand in the door of Alma Gates bronco from back in the day.....THAT's bad ***

Ouch....yeah, that sucks. I've been trying to keep my buying to a minimum lately. Time to save up for bigger and better things

You know when like you bought your first car, and you thought it was the nicest car in the world until you sat in a nicer car....and from then on, you just keep comparing your car to the nicer car and you start to realize all of the areas that your car lacks in. Or for example, take panda express...it's only good until you go to P.F. Changs...and after that you never go to panda express again...

...I think it's the same for audio systems. If I went to an SPL comp and heard how loud some of those cars could get, then that would probably ruin my life. I wouldn't be satisfied with my system anymore and I would probably dedicate a lot of time and money to attempt to accomplish that...or else music wouldn't be as enjoyable anymore...
