Default Mythbusters 'shattering subwoofers' tonight

This might be interesting. Tonight on mythbusters (on discovery channel...I think)...

In this episode the guys ask, "Can a car stereo destroy a car with just sound?"

Maybe someone can tape it, and we can play it at the next meet, or something. I would, but I ditched my VCR for Tivo years ago.

So that means they'd have to tape it AND bring their VCR to the meet....

I doubt that they'll 'prove' anything, but it is supposed to feature lots of dB drag footage, and might at least be entertaining.

I guess that's why you don't know that his name is Steve Irwin

Send them an email if you can do better.

There are a few I think they didnt do well enough, but I dont think that one is one of them. And of course I have a hockey game tonight.

Ok, so I'm watching it right now, and as smart as these guys are, it's painfully obivous that they havent deisgned too many SPL systems. Some of the cars they showed @ the db drags were pretty sweet. BUT, fromthe first tem minutes, it's not looking too good.

Looks like they are going to build a diaphragm and suspension, and then run it off the driveshaft, somehow. Remains to be seen if they are going ot seal anything or what, if any enclosure they will use.
