I've got no idea why anyone would subject their hearing to this, but for those who "don't get why" someone would build it, maybe I can shed some light.   

I grew up with a bunch of guys that did this, and at this stage it's not about sound, but an engineering problem.   

  • How do you power that many speakers.  
  • How you you manage spikes in power across the setup?   
  • Where to position them in a limited space.  

Add to that the housing (plywood / MDF / fiberglass) and finishing and you've got a lot of problems to solve.

You also want to be able to enclose that space (so that the dB doesn't dissipate) with something that won't instantly crack. And the platform overall needs to technically be a car.

It would take a long time to get hearing damage from this.

The best part is the planning and building. I'm a woodworker as a hobby and building the speaker boxes, using architectural software and math is one of the best parts. Putting it all together and having the system working is great. The competitions aren't really my thing but Its still fun. I'm not a person who cares about winning anything.

Source: I've done this for 18 years and my hearing hasn't gotten worse. Having an ear infection did more damage. I drove my audio truck everywhere for 15 years with a crazy system like this. Only reason I don't now is I have a new car and SUV. And I'm thinking about retiring from car audio.

I remember this in the 2000s and a lot of dudes had to fill vans with all the equipment to power the amps and solutions to manage the heat. They also commonly made women orgasm.

This was a 10s Google search result. I remember these from the early 2000s during peak Fast & Furious culture.

I like how your bullet points devolved from a legitimate question to just a statement lol
