A lot of things done to cars on 'Pimp My Ride' are just over the top and not too practical IMO. But I still like the show.

I have never heard something so loud in my entire life. It was running off two 1200 watt amps and it was still under powered apparently.

Now what you consider loud may differ but if we're talking in terms of SPL, I've heard the Jackhammer reaches around 150 db. That'* not that hard to pull off these days for a much cheaper price but most people who can afford it just but it for the shock value.

IMO, I think it is pointless.
For anything other than SPL comps, that sub is a POS. the cone weights to much good frequency response and even if they were able to get it somewhat decent, it takes SOO much power to do that.
IMO, you could have 3-4 ported 10" subs make you go deaf and sound better doing it. Not to mention that it would be WAY cheaper and MUCH lighter.
but all in all..."pimp my ride" is only for the shock value. so I guess the sub fits their profile

My single sub can produce 150DB in a ported box at the dash in a b-ville if I throw 2000 watts on it and it will take it with pride. However it sounds damn good at 1000 in a small sealed box.
