DVC subs are louder than SVC.

Caps increase your amp voltage, whether your car is running or not.

by far the most common one I've seen is "my '1600' watt Sony amp will smoke your amp because it has more watts". People really need to learn that the wattage painted on the heatsink or dust caps aren't actual ratings!!! **** me off! I don't know how many times me and my Inhuman had to show some people what "high end" is! They'll never look at there Xplods the same way again, lol. [img]graemlins/beer.gif[/img]

This is a load of b.s. I personally have built hundreds of subwoofer enclosures encluding ones in car audio displays ( which also carry the weight of the displays structure) and have yet to see one come apart, if it is built with 3/4" mdf and the right yellow wood glue evenly on the surface! In fact when you dismantle one the wood glue won't break even though the mdf does! The only way i have found screwing them together as an advantage is when the enclosure is large and you are shifting it around alot prior to the glue drying!
Are you serious? Am I reading that correct? You NAILED mdf together? I can't even imagine the damage that could do to the MDF if you screw up. Not to mention I wouldn't want to be the guy pounding a nail through MDF for 10 mins. I'll stick to screws thank you very much.

Underpowering speakers blows them every time you turn the volume down. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

And nailing the box is bad, the nails resonate and can rust and make the mdf fall apart.

My thoughts exactly... even though speakers can be blown by an amp that is rated below the speaker's rated power, it's not because it's underpowered. Otherwise it would blow every time you turned it down.
