It's the "bigger is better" belief. I think alot people do it just for the "wow" factor of having more subs than one is use to seeing, even if they are $50 subs. Eye candy. While others are simply uneducated, and don't understand that in car audio, quality comes before quantity. Funniest part is when they think they can run all those subs off a single Boss 500w amp.

i deffinatly agree about the running them all of one amp... I really cannot stand when people come into CC wanting to buy 4 sony xplode 12's and say that none of our amps are strong enough to push them because there 1200 watts each.. first off, why not do 2 decent subs??? get the mtx 5500 or 7500's, or the cvr or l5-l7, or maybe the eclipse subs.. second, go learn about car audio.. PEAK MEANS NOTHING, our 1200 watt kicker amp would easily pwn all the sonys you can throw at it!

people think hey its cheaper so i can buy more of them. 5 10s thats like 50 inches of cone space, that should piss off the neighbors. and then theres the ebay wholesale deals where you get like 5 shitty speackers for really cheap. mainly id say its because thos people dont know anything about audio and take quantity over quality. some people are completely tone deff and they cant tell the differance between clean bass and a blown speaker...kinda like how a painter can see a blended repair as where a avarage person off the street would look at it and say daymn you cant even tell there was a repair there. ill admit i used to be one of thos ignorant dumasses but ive really learned alot through you guys and thats why i love the ahq fourm. im a fabricator not a electrial genious, but i defentally get by with the stuff ive learned here in ahq

Hate to play devils advocate, but surface area and excursion... can get awfully loud, but yes, it sounds like anus. But they dont want SQ..it's about loud and rattling the shit in my medicine cabinet when they come home and park alongside the road facing my house
