I thought this was gonna be a fishing thread! My nephew had an ultra high watt/amp system in the back of his car. He ended up getting rid of it because it kept blowing his front windshield seal out. Crazy schitt. It’s part of the ‘look at me culture he lives in.
Man, that brings back some memories. I had a system in my high school days, but nothing super crazy. Panasonic deck, Alpine 4x6" and 6x9" cab speakers powered by an Orion Cobalt amp, and a couple Orion XTR 12s in a ported box also powered by a larger cobalt. It was nothing big enough to need caps, just fused lines to the amps.
These days it's a rarity that I even turn the radio on in a vehicle 😂

I had a regular cab Toyota. Whatever body style it was before they started calling them Tacomas.
Two 10 inch Rockford subs behind the seat and a big amp under it. Removable face deck. Ported enclosures that would launch a rolled up sock to the ceiling when it hit. Crutchfield catalog in the glove box.
I had mine in a Chevy Beretta... really clean car, only had about 30k on it when I bought it my junior year.
I think just about all the decks had the pop off face plates back then....damn thieves 🤣 I got my stuff from a local shop that is probably pushing 2 decades out of business. A lot of my friends bought the RF Punch series stuff from Crutchfield.
I was a bit of a metalhead in my youth. Fear Factory's Obsolete album would just about pound your brains out. And Justice For All was a bumper, but you had to get the eq set right or that weird, flat bass guitar would muddy out the drums on the subs.

I was more grunge and hair bands - the above rap was just there to push the subs when needed/desired.
Lots of Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, STP, Audio Slave, Live, Counting Crows, Blind Melon, Motley Crue, GnR, Ratt, Scorps etc.
Big honkin pleather portfolio on the passenger seat with 100 CDs in it. Trying to switch at red lights....
Nice 👍One of those bands where that was the only album I really liked by them, but it was absolute banger. Antichrist Superstar falls into that one for me, too. Meh on MM as a whole, but that was a masterpiece.

Occasionally some LoA
I had a couple of those bass cds that were just doodle tracks specifically designed to push the subs, then a bunch of test tones/sweeps after the "music"
