Life Expectancy (How long before replenishment of dry ice) of the dry ice would be my biggest concern. Also dyno results would help.

Hell, you could probably just make your own. All you have to do is build a cage around the CAI pipe (if you already have one) and fill it with dry ice whenever you want.

REDLINEN --

In your wife's Pilot, aren't the subs underpowered? It's my understanding that the RMS for a W3 is around 250 per sub. I have two 12W3v2's powered by a 500/1 and I'm still underpowering them. Just curious, because JL Audio said underpowering subs constantly could possibly damage the voice coils (or something to that extent; can't remember exactly what they said in their speaker language, but it wasn't something good).

From their site...
2. Q: How long would it last?

WE HAVE TESTED THE DIIS IN HOT RACE TRACK CONDITIONS IN THE SUMMER TIME, THE
ICE IS SEALED IN AN INSULATED CONTAINMENT UNIT - ONE FULL LOAD WILL LAST
ABOUT 1.5 - 2.0 HOURS - WE ARE ALSO DEVELOPING A CARBON FIBER INSULATED
COOLER WHICH MOUNTS IN THE TRUNK OF YOUR VEHICLE TO STORE AN ADDITIONAL 10
POUNDS OF DRY ICE FOR UP TO 5 DAYS IN THE SUMMER TIME.

The contraptions people think of...what's next.

Underpowering your subs will NOT cause damage to them. You just won't be getting your money's worth. You may, however, cause damage to the amp. :nutkick:

Ugh.... not quite. Underpowering your subs is a huge if you want them to last. It's an easy way to damage the voice coil.

Comeon folks, hooking a underpowered amp to a sub in itself wont hurt the sub at all. Its morons that hook a small amp to a sub and then overdrive the amp to clipping levels. A 300W amp will work perfectly fine with a 500watt Sub if you drive it to reasonable levels. The same goes if you hook a 300w sub to a 1000w amp, it will work fine unless you crank it too loud.

thats useless...if you go to the FAQ, it says the dry ice lasts 1.5-2hours...lol
Other than the air being 2*F cooler, it will suck as much if not less air than any other short ram.

IF YOU EVER BUY THIS, you might as well suicide now before you waste money that could be passed on to your family.
