GZ Pezi Frank from Germany, builder of the green Olga (it's an east german "Wartburg" car) told me on a car meet, he went to the scrapyard and measured all kind of different vehicles, to find the perfect width for the wavelenghts he wanted to use. His skill is still insane to me, since he reaches 180+ with one single 15" Neo Woofer.

You definitely took it back to the Golden years with some classic SPL vehicles like Team Gates and etc. I remember reading about a lot of these in Car Audio Magazine and Car Stereo and Electronics when they covered SPL competitions

The good ol'e Astro has been putting numbers up for 25 years. When I walked thru the lanes in the late 90's it was almost all Astros vans.

Really great idea for a video! I’ve missed your produced videos and am very happy they’re back.

Ed has always made great videos. He’s a geniouse. I’ve been watching him for a lot of years. I love this guy.

Dude that was awesome!!! Thank you for the awesome list!!! Keep it up Ed!

First Gen Ford Explorer for the Win!! I owned 4 of them consecutively and I loved every single one of them.

2 honorable mentions are the Mazda RX-7 (Walled) and the Scion XB square body. A vehicle I wish I had for extreme SPL would be the Scion XB. It looks like an enclosure on wheels.

Ah Scottie's old astrovans. I sat in the one with the 14 RE MT's and MA HK4000Ds at Carl Casper in 2005. IIRC that was the first non extreme to break 170 on the TL. Cool stuff, not really into the competition scene anymore, but this was a good trip down memory lane.

great video Ed

I love the sound of that bass at the beginning of the intro

Another great video in the books. You know you truly make videos that have, a will stand the test of time. 👌🏼

This is great content!

I love this content man!👏👏👏

Very Cool, and super interesting... can't wait to see Dougs astro van finished, in a decade or two ; )

Thanks for the video man !!

HHR ED! great seeing you! nice vid!

wicked video and very well explained.

Getting loud below the window line is actually cool to me.

Good content can’t wait to see more

pretty solid list tbh.

Awesome video! Especially all those Astro Van's=]

I loved this video Ed 🥰🥰

What a great video! Great information!!!!

Bravo excellent good video content i can't wait to show you & Rich how i use my Sparkedinnovations equipment in my Ford Probe

I built my nephew a little system in the early 2000's and he went to his first show to compete after leaving Afghanistan. Ended up in the same class with Terry Brocks and his CRX which he drove down to Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina. It had some Digital Designs 10's and a Hifonics amp in it I believe. At any rate, Terry's car posted over a 150 and both of our jaws nearly hit the floor. We got to experience greatness in that moment and we still talk about it nearly 20 years later. I think my nephew hit a 134.7 in his Honda Civic that the glue was still drying in. :) He is still proud of that second place trophy! The Jeep with the Z series in it was sick and I'll never forget meeting the guy from Richmond. VA with those 6000 watt JBL amps in I vaguely remember was an Astrovan.

Nice list here I agreed with this 1000000%

Love seeing my car in the video

The crx, also has hit a 172+ by Chris munson, but great video!

Bronco and bronco 2 both go bonkers. The scion XB can go nuts. And as crazy as it sounds I did a VW Rabbit in the late 90s early 2000s with 4 12s and 3k watts that popped a 142.7. a bronco 2 with 2 15s and 3500 watts that got a 151.2 and those were both full interior cars. Box design and targeting your output at the meter is crazy. Had a buddy that helped me learn a lot about that stuff.

I knew what #1 was before even watching this. I had been into car audio since 1992 when Powersupply,DJ Magic Mike were at the top listening for base. Epicenter before rebassed music was around

When ed speaks. You listen. Point blank.

The extended cab mini-trucks were easy to make loud as well.

Hey Ed what's your take on a 2005 Chevy uplander LS? I currently have one. And want to do something crazy with it! Is it worth it?

Loudest is any with Funkypups! Ok.. the Funkypup thing is overrated. Lol Awesome video!

Is that a jackhammer 22” cone assembly to Your left in the background?

For the extreme builds it's a battle between RP and Carlos Rodriguez those guys have so much time invested to gain tenths of a db

Best sounding bass friendly car I have come across is the 4 door Chevy citation. Gets the benefit of being a hatchback. It also with the back seats down has a huge amount of space for crazy stuff. On as a side note the way it's built even low powered crappy subs would sound good. While great subs were WOW!!!

Exo Contralto used to have a Dodge Caravan

The system in my Camry hovers around 150 on 3kw. Just 2 - 12s on a synergy wfo 3k. Most I've scored is 151 on music. But 185? That's crazy, talk about purpose-built

@4:17 thats not the civic. Thats a late 90s model 4 door geo metro that he used

Chevrolet S10 were around the same time as the Honda crx

Ed if you ever find some t.s.n.s motors please let me know.

What about team soundcheck hitting 185.4 using 18 sundown neo 10s and 36 salt 8ks. After all none of these vehicles are stock or even resemble one on the inside

I know that old t3 audio van.

Out of curiosity, do you know what type of car Delilah is? Carlos' spl vehicle

Square body s10 was used a ton also.

i knew it :( ... My first car was an 86 Astro 2 tone tan and burgundy, had a buddy make a decal for the back that said the speaker box, i had 1 15 inch MTX Thunder 8000 think the model was T8154A but it hit SO HARD and put waves in the windows hahah :( i miss it , but i was young n dumb and was on a dirt rd doing fishtails being rear wheel drive strait 6 haha yea i rolled it lol

That's exactly why I own 4 2000 astro van's

Competition car audio for a winner for spl is 200k

How can the S10 Blazer not be on this list?

Rp did 187 in meca last year

yall forget the legendary POS from twistedchild420

Exocontrolto's behemoth will eventually become the loudest vehicle ever.

No Opel Corsa B in this list 😢

💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

Should do a top 5 sq vehicles. Next

Team ED 🔊✌️

Even if the Volvo 245 was built in Sweden, we have never had a loud Volvo 245 here. Team Loud from Finland had a very loud Volvo 245.

the volvo you mean is called volvo 245 volvo has made many different station wagons that look similar

Street stock 1k world record with my explorer 😊 152db

Always Astro, don't you dare buy a Safari! Scotties were always my favourite, the black the and white were very period correct modified with wheels,lights and body kits tastefully done. Not very common with the other loud vehicles to see them put money into styling like the Astro crowd.

I believe the corsa b is more popular then the panda

Loudest vehicle type is hatchbacks

Crx's actually hit 162db, s10 hit 164db and Mazda b2000 hittin over 172db.... Team SoundCheck FOR THE WIN!!!

Don't say a tahoe isn't loud, forget about Nathan mallards DD build? Somewhere in the 180s

Jeep Cherokee????

I think once it can no longer function as a vehicle then it's not. It's just a metal box
