that show is retarded. the only decent episode was the one w/ the impala that they through a huge diesel turbo in (and claimed it beat a lambo HA) they do too much stupid ____ to them. and that sub would be a _____ to build a box sturdy enough to hold it.

Could build an entire system that is louder and sounds better than that thing for half the price.

Whats funny is that they thought 130db is loud... hahaa I did 139db with a single 12" on stock electrical.

They installed 3 batteries and still had major voltage drop when they showed the pic of the cap 11.4v, 3 batts plus the one under the hood but they didn't probably upgrade the ALTERNATOR or big 3.

I saw a recent episode where they put LCD TVs in the plastic piece of the center console next to your feet.


We all know that in a pimped out word even your kicks dig the tube.

If you drive around with one of those, you're just asking for hearing loss.

Also, how long do you think it took after that episode aired until that car got stolen? I can't see how it couldn't have been. Or any other vehicle from that show for that matter.
