i just installed a new sub woofer system in my fc, this thing thumps! my only concern is that if im not careful i might crack the glass. after testing and tuning my new toys the glass looked like it had lepersy ( light spots in a grid pattern. i think it may be due to the thin clear rubber in between the glass.

has any one experienced any problems with the rear hatch getting cracked or broken from a moderatly loud sub system???

 

I bet the light spots where there before you just never saw them. some how i think there is only one sub that would crack the hatch all by its self.

 

it hink maybe someone has finally found a reason to buy that Lexan Hatch that is so "critical" in weight reduction, is anyone seriously interested in that hatch?

 

that all depends on the price my friend!

 

The pattern is normal. Same thing on mine. And I don't think the subwoofer is that loud -- come on!

 

youd be supprised!.....rotard......haahaahahaahaa! thats purdee good!heehee! hey u in toronto?! i was born in oakville ontario!

 

dude you are not going to blow your hatch with a normal setup. I've had mine pretty damn loud and from the outside could see the glass and feel the actual body panels of the D-pillars flexing. The size/weight of the equipment needed to make glass breaking bass would be over your recomended payload in your car anyway, that's some serious ****.
An old friend of mine had 4 tens getting 1000W each in his FB and it held up...sounded like ****, but it held the power just fine, his hatch glass would actually bow up about 1/3 inch with the bass hits.
