Default What do your subs shake?

I figured this would be a fun little topic to start. What do your subs shake?

I'll start off. I got a weak little 400 watt system but its good enough for me. Whats it shake?

All my mirrors (I'm sure we'll all have this one)
Headrests, entire seats for that matter
Visors
Trunk rattles like theres no tomorrow from shaking
Pedals
Radar Detector bounces like crazy when the right frequency kicks in.
And I might have just been seeing things, But I believe the needles on my guage cluster were shaking when I was driving today.

my mirrors shake from my mid-bass.

my sunroof, visors, steering wheel, headliner all shake from my little ported ten on only 600 watts when i really crank her up.

i don't usually have my sub that loud though.

My steering wheel and headliner shakes too, forgot to mention those, actually the steering wheel just started shaking with the new box . I actually have to close my headliners when the bass is hittin cuz they rattle if they're open.

i have seen that vid before but it never gets old. sweet man.

on the other hand, it doesn't take a lot to get the tc loud inside. i have had 3 different 10" subs in several different boxes and they have all been pretty loud. loud enough at least. my latest def sounds the best though, and not just spl wise.

^^ Haha. I saw that video a while ago and was gonna mention it but I forgot who had that set up. I showed my physics teacher that vid when we were learning about resonance and sound waves and he was in complete awe haha.

my tC isn't that loud on the outside, but once you crack the door or the trunk its beautiful. Almost brings a tear to my eye.

That video doesn't do it justice since all the video compression I had to do so I can make it a small file. But on the original video you can see that sun roof moving a good amount! LOL

I'm not sure about now with the TTB box, since its been cold out I haven't looked at much on the outside.

I don't have my system built in my tC yet, but in my previous ride (check my profile), everything shook, especially the mirrors on the car next to me...

But seriously, I managed to shake the windshield enough to put in a nice 1-1/2 foot long crack.
