1-Excursion of each speaker (distance between all the way in, and all the way out)
2- Cone area (total area of all the moving diaphrams moving air)
32 6.5" subwoofers can move a lot more air that 2 12"s. I bet that system is pretty loud. Bass is simply all about moving air. you can move roughly the same amount of air with 4 10" woofers as you can with 2 15" woofers.

I know a setup like that wont be cracking windows, those are Elemental Designs EU-700 6.5" midbass speakers, well there mostly used as subs, they can handle up to 200 RMS watts each. The excursion on them is crazy for a speaker that size!! The amps are also ED's, I have yet to find anything negative about their current products! But still 32 of them little beasts, thats gotta be a bangin system right their!

You're full of ****. It takes A HELL OF ALOT more than that to crack windows. I used to compete and saw guys with 15 15's and 15 1100W memphis audio amps that didn't crack windows.
You need some SERIOUS power or a VERY SHITTY car to crack the windows in it.

i doubt that
In my bronco, i had a wall of subs, 4 12" hx2 punches each running a 1000watt bd1000 amp, and i didnt even break a window... then i tried a new setup w/ two 15 hx2 punch's powered by 2 kenwood exceleron 1000 watt amps.
in my 01 ext. cab ranger i ran a single 15 hx2 punch w/ a kenwood exceleron 1000watt amp, and did not break out a window, let alone crack one

Damn dude. I currently have 2 12" AudioBahn high excursions 1500W RMS each running in my little *** Scion tC. I may have a crappy amp but the power is there. There is no possible way you cracked glass with that set up. Not with those anyway's.

I guarantee you I have had louder systems than most you have ever heard... And even while shaking my roof, doors, panels, and things outside the car.. I never broke a window.
So yes, please stop lying.

forged glass can break without to much force if it has a crack in it, but if the glass was whole there isnt a way to break it without simply mounting the sub box against the glas and let the subs fisicaly hit the glass. my buddy is running 2x10" 10.000W subs in his car and is wining competitions and the cant even break his windows

I had a 1988 K5 Blazer with two 12's in the back. I cracked my right rear window with that system. I don't recall the wattage, but it was enough to put a nice crack through the entire window. It sucked to have a cracked window in such a prestine vehicle (it had 40K original miles on it with perfect everything), but I still smiled every time I saw it
