Myth Busters

They are tearing apart a 300D on Myth Busters. I just saw them ripping everything apart. Haven't seen it yet but looks like they are going to try and blow out the windows with a sub woofer system.

Poor MB's. There are so many of them that they get suckered into these things all the time.

Another sad day in the life of an MB.

Should send them an email and ask about the wood trim Only problem is they already tore it apart and probably destroyed the interior in the process.

UPDATE:

More to come when the show is over. But they are going to power the speaker with the engine?

I guess she will go out with a bang!!! Litterally.

Ok so here is the final update:

They ended up connecting the driveline to their 51 inch subwoofer they made. They completely gutted the car (300SD) and placed the woofer inside and sealed everything up.

They created 161 Db's at 16 hertz. It was enough to blow the sunroof out of its tracks. So they never had the opportunity to blow the windows out as all the air escaped out the sunroof, and then their speaker blew.

Well we have one more use for our trusted 617 turbo.

If anyone lives in SF I bet you could get a good 617 for cheap.
