Does your system punch you in the chest?

Very few systems I've heard actually give that sensation. Does yours? Mine does not and I am working to improve that by switching from a single 10 to 2 12s.

Spoken like a young male who doesn't live with a deaf parent/grandparent. If you can feel it in your chest, you are making yourself deaf. Do yourself a favor, and take it from a guy whose ears *always* ring: don't. If you are willing to put money into it, install an Aura Bass Shaker on your seat instead. You might be very surprised what just a little more vibration does for the sensation of huge bass.

I have 2x 15" iPipes run by 1500 watts in the back of my Tibby. Yes they hit pretty hard even being as underpowered as they are. They have also destroyed my rear suspension because they are too heavy

I could see being impressed by the idea IF the build was solely for competition. Personally, I find loud music is distracting so my system build will be solely for quality. Stuff like that never sound good, just loud.

Yup, that's the only reason I got 2x15's.. just to be loud (not my brightest idea.) If I were to get rid of them, or get a system in my GTI it would be a single 10" or 12" powered properly.

I have a single 10 that rattles the interior panels in my car when it is turned up, which makes it sound bad, so that's more than enough for me.

Mine did. Then it got stolen. Won't do another system until I buy an M6.

I like the sound of my blowoff valve better than my bass
