Improbable, but not impossible. I've seen it happen.

Also, I actually cracked the windshield in my 88 blazer with 2 18's back in the day. Before the fight starts, I'm sure it was a fluke. My guess is that it wasn't glued in right from the factory, since one corner seemed to move more, and leaked. My theory is that with one loose corner, it flexed funny, and cracked.

But I've seen windows shatter, and windshields blow out. But Like John said, you wouldn't have been able to sit in them when it happened.

Guess I should have rephrased that...I wouldn't want to sit in it. I like my hearing, even though its not what it used to be.

I agree. What would be the point of putting yourself through that to go deaf and lose the ability to listen to the stuff you love!?

I Dont Consider Rattling Bolts Loose, Window Not Glued Tight Or Anything Like That Causing The Window To Break A Big Deal, Let Me Hear About A Good Condition Auto With A Damn Loud System That Flexes The Glass To The Braking Point, Now That Is Impressive, Havent Seen It Yet In My Days, And I Have Been Doing This Since Most Of You Were In Diapers, Yea I Have Seen The Seems Blown Out Then The Glass Bounce Across The Hood And On The Ground, But Never A Window Explode Like Rock Has Been Tossed Thru It....

I vaguely remember one of those 'Monster Nation' shows (where Jessie James goes around the country, looking for unusual things) that went to a USACI, or similar, event. There was a van that litterally blew the window out, in like a zillion pieces. Could have been staged though, who knows.

On the topic of loud audio feats...At CES last year, Mike Jones had his then world record Crossfire van there. He put one of those annoying little Fusion aliens inside, and burped it. Looked like green vinyl cole slaw when it was over.

The guy I was talking about with the 12 10" Solobaric Specials blew out his window while driving on the road. Not too sure when he broke his steering wheel bolt but I think it was at a competition. He always sat in the car running DB tests over 160 but just recently I heard that he got a CD player installed in the trunk due to the fact that the system was making his skip.
