I gotta admit, I love watching that show, even though 99% of the stuff they do is ricer bullshit.

Last night, they put a "Jackhammer" into this kid's Buick... What's a "Jackhammer"?

It's a 22 inch diameter, 23 inch long subwoofer by MTX. It weighs 370 pounds and can take 8500 watts. They had to build a steel frame for it, as well as a steel reinforcement to be able to hold the damn thing in place.

They said it was the first one in the world ever put into a vehicle. I've never seen anything like it.

I just want to know why everything has to have flames put on it... Some colors look nice with the design, but damn... Is a simple single or two tone color too hard to ask for??

I swear, I bet those Mexicans have something to do with it....


Edit: They should put in two and make it look like it has dual afterburners....

I love watching the show. Just to see what idea's they have. Some of the stuff is gawdy, but I love watching it.

I sent ya ($100T2) a PM like a week ago, didja ever get it? Just wondering, bc you usually always reply.

Audiobahn used to make a 32'' sub a few years ago.

I probably forgot about it... I get an assload of PMs.

All good :)

yeah, that show IS fun to watch but i wouldn't want them doing my car. if they would just tone things down alittle bit, why do they have to take things to the extreme. at least with overhaulin, u come out with a practically brand new vehicle. all pmr does is interior and exterior. i bet they don't know the first thing about hp and suspension.

This was Dodge. They did a two tone with reverse fade. Was some great paint work. The wheels looked like ass, but the interior got an easy chair and a flat panel with docking station for a new Sony viao.


The C10 they showed the engine, new LS1 with fuel injection.

Well, they have recently started going into giving them rebuilt engines...

i agree a motor swap and coilovers should be standard issue.

the show does make me laugh...it is very entertaining...but i would NOT let them touch my car!!!

No shit I wonder how many of those cars wind up sitting beside the road with blown motors and bad alternators.

I like to call those cars candy coated turds. Like M&Ms except shit not chocolate.

word to that....but really, a 22'', 370lbs sub? How fucking useful is that on a regular car. A dedicated decibel show car, yes, but a dd? I'd rip that thing out, and sell it for 2 12''s

who the hell needs a sub that loud?
I saw what I think was a re-run on saturday. They "pimped" the drop top Chevelle and they did a DAMN good job for once.

Yeah, that one turned out nice... And, they put in a brand new fuel injected motor.

Audiobahn makes a 34" subwoofer. Their showcase car is a Chevy Nomad with a 34" surrounded by 4 18s. Something like 5000w. Insanity.

It doesn't look as solid as the 22" though.

they do a nice job on some of the trucks. but my favorite has to be the toyota landcrusier or the chicks surburban (im talking the way it looks outside, not the shit they add to the inside) the surburban was sitting on like 33' tires, and a suspension lift.

Well, they did a yellow landcruiser and a blue (?) suburban... They were both lifted on 20's and off road tires, they both looked pretty good.

hi did you read my post before you posted yours?

come on guys, the best one was deffinately this like 88 or 89 ford torous that belonged to a hip hop instructor haha, they had just one color...it was a nice ass red and the put bmw bumpers on it and a nice wing, with clean tan leather interior. nothing too fancy. It was suppost to be "european sports car" style.

The greatest thing about the LandCruiser is that when they got done with it, it still had a top speed of 55, and was still just as useless to her as before.

Pimp My Ride UK is better

I just saw the one with the jackhammer, fucking INSANE.

Anyone see the one where they just bought the kid a brand new Scion? That shit was hilarious.

his Escort was welded in half:)

The Mexican won't let the Mexican's touch his car?

I'd let them pimp my '72 Dodge 1 ton van. I bring too many dead cars home to not have a tow vehicle. :) It's got good mechanicals, it's not rusty, but it's boring as hell. The CD player got jacked so there are no tunes. It has 16.5" steel wheels and really worn out door hinges. So if they want to paint, upholster, wheel/tire and put a sound system in I'm good with that. A new hemi crate engine would really be nice though. The 318 does ok, but another 150hp wouldn't hurt my feelings one bit. Oh, and there is plenty of room in there for the jackhammer.

if anyone saw the chevelle malibu episode i liked what they did with that save the flames

the paint was shitty too the didnt tape up the black inorder to lay the candy

his Escort was welded in half:)

I honestly didn't believe such things existed until I saw that episode. Why on earth would anyone buy that in the first place? It was OBVIOUSLY 2 cars welded together. I would think that anyone, even without any mechanical knowledge, would realize how unsafe that is.

I'd still go for a Solo X 18". Just as much power and for the price of the jackhammer you can get like 5 solo X's and make way more sound.

SoloX would put up a fight with that MTX sub, but chances are the MTX would probably come out on top, because it does have a bit more cone area.

As you can see in the sig below, i'm a sucka for car audio. Haven't had much time to hit the show scene this year, but once I get my car lookin good for once, i'll be back on the scene.

I can only imagine what that MTX sub sounds like with 8500 watts of power, but i've heard better and louder anyway.
