This 17,000 Watt Car Stereo Turns Car Into Jell-O
What happens when you cram 17,000 watts of pure audio power into a 2006 Ford Expedition? Apparently, it makes the whole thing bounce and shake like a giant slab of SUV-shaped Jell-O, or, as TechEBlog points out, an earthquake. Just watch the video as his 22-speaker sound system makes his iPod dance and the roof shudder like flag in the wind. This guy should be hired by the Pentagon to head up its aural warfare project, since his new car kit is certainly a weapon of mass destruction.
And if watching this guy re-enact the classic Maxell Tape commercial wasn't intense enough, you can also head on over to his YouTube Channel where there's a video featuring speakers that rip his ceiling panel out.

What a waste. He must want people to question his common sense. Does he really think he's going to enjoy listening to whatever comes out of that?

So why does my car rattle? What a big dummy. You have to have the stereo on at all times so the vehicle doesnt' rattle your ears off going down the road -- forget about "don't slam the door!" How to make you car sound like a box of rattling tin -- and prepare to pay for it as well! I Can't Hear You!!!

Check back with this idiot in five years and see how deaf he is by then.

I AGREE WITH YOU GUYS. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY (JUST) TO SHAKE YOUR CAR. IF YOUR SPEND THAT KIND OF MONEY IT SHOULD SHAKE THE CAR NEXT TO YOU ALSO.

Apparently, no one who has this kind of sound system has any intelligence left in their tiny little heads. Not only are they harming their health and that of others, they're shaking their ride to pieces, literally! That kind of sonic onslaught not only loosens nuts, bolts and what-have-you, it's been shown to have an adverse effect on welds, as well. Is it really worth it, to be the noisiest thing on the street?

This is not the most extreme stereo out there. However take it with a grain of salt because most of this equipment had been supplied by various manufacturers. If you are into competition you reach a level where you become a billboard for car stereo makers. I have less than 800 total watts in an expedition, but be assured that that is total amplifier power. I would never attempt to force that system to that level; because the windows in the truck would shatter.

really every one who is posting these comments are just proving how dense you are when it comes to pop culture. There is a new fad sweeping import car lovers and car show goer's in which there are bass competitions, the one who has the highest decible level and who gets the best reaction from the crowd wins, some prizes are well over 20 grand....so if he wins it doesnt seem like to much of a waste of money. Also people sayin that it will damage your health notice how he wasnt in the vehicle, some "professional sounds systems" have the same decible rating as standing next to a jet engine if your sitting in the car....

Bank Clerk: "How are you doing today, sir?"
Dumbass 17KW Car Stereo Owner: "WHAT?"
Clerk: "I said, How are you doing?"
Dumbass: "WHAAAAT?"
Clerk: "I SAID, HOW ARE YOU DOING?"
Dumbass: "WHAAAAAT?"
Clerk: "I SAID... Oh, screw it. How may I help you today?"
Dumbass: "WHY, YES, I DO LOVE MY NEW CAR STEREO. THANKS FOR ASKING ABOUT IT."

No, it just goes to show how dense pop culture is.

There only bass, no music. Thats not music just noise. He has no clue on creating a good sound system.
URDADY @ Oct 29th 2007 2:39PM
Can you smell that, time for dyper change you bunch of jealous babies,if this guy is smart he displays this vehicle with ear protection,but of course we dont know that so quit wining about other people money,get a job,get a life just do something,LOSERS.
Bob @ Oct 29th 2007 2:54PM
Music has nothing to do with it, like said above SPL is what he competes in....COMPETES....its not like he blasts that thing day in and day out...and im assuming he does it for the money, some prizes are up to 100,000 dollars...
pam brown @ Oct 29th 2007 3:12PM
Well, since I used to compete many many years ago I can tell you that companies paid for most of the equipment. Also, this is not a new fad...it has been going on for a LONG time...and there is serious money in the competitions. BTW...practice "safe sound" and your ears will be fine. And I would guess that I am NOT a moron nor an idiot since I am completing a MA and BA at the same time with a 4.0.
Kent @ Oct 29th 2007 3:14PM
This is a neighborhood nightmare ... can you imagine your neighbor buying it for their home stereo system ... let alone the streets? I'd like punch those mfgs in the nose for making them available.
