you know, it's issues like these that make me feel sorry I was born a human being ;]
I'm kidding (or am I). I absolutely detest people who blast music as loud as possible just so they could be heard by their environment. The booming sounds of overdriven subwoofer is so fuckin annoying, it's just a matter of days before I get out of my car on a traffic light and beat the living shit out of the dickhead who decided that I should hear whatever the hell he was listening to. To top it off, the dickheads who do it have to, just HAVE TO listen to some nasty crap.
Putting a 1000W woofer in a car is just plain stupid. First things first - listening to high sound levels anywhere, at any time damages your hearing. For a while, the little hair in your ears is just gonna curl up - you get annoying noise in your ears (like after a concert). Then after a while, they'll give up and you wind up with permanent damage. By the time you're 40, you won't hear anything above 10khz, and trust me, you don't want that. A pair, or let's say two pair of 25W speakers is MORE than enough for a person to enjoy all the subtleties of music one can actually enjoy in a car.
Second of all, I pity the imbecils who will buy a woofer just because it says 1000W on it. It's not 1000W.. It's probably not even a hundred. With a 1000W amp/woofer combo, on a regular car battery... Well, you wouldn't get very far. I have a pair of 25W (tweeter)/75W (woofer) speakers, and I when I get them to 6 (out of 10), my windows start shaking.
Loud != Good.
