The flex is painful. :[
I want to deaden it, but the good stuff costs $$$...

Videos or it didn't happen!

I'll probably get a bulk pack of Damplifier Pro and a couple gallons of Spectrum spray... Probably fill all the cross braces with expanding foam, too. Just make it as stiff as possible. I don't want to construction adhesive MDF to my roof. Seems a little extreme!

It's not tuned. It's actually a rear loading folded horn from PWK Designs. Some people claim most of his designs are a flop and not worth the $50, but I love what I have. Kick drums are swift and punchy on metal, and I can jam Jeezy and kill my roof. :D

Takes quite a bit to go deaf from lower frequencies. If you know anyone whom has hearing damage (my father has severe hearing damage from trona mining), it's mostly in the upper and mid audible frequencies.

There's been much discussion on car audio forums.

And female voices tend to be higher then male's. So if you're tired of the , go put some screaming highs and mids in your xB!

The windshield is fine. With my system at full tilt, I only get the wipers rattling a little. The roof is the weakest link
