Not considering buying but just wondering if a 21" sub would be useful at all or just sound slow and crappy

The size of the woofer does not determine it's response.

Crap subs sound crap, this is true :)

A bad 10" sounds bad, so does a bad 12", 15" .........

A good 18" can sound better than an average 10", size is far from the most important factor in determining a woofer's performance.

I'd be good for a laugh to install like four into a car. I really doubt such a woofer would have a large enough motor with enough bl to push the cone properly. Jackhammer?

Wouldn't think it would be overly loud, probably sound nice if set-up though. :)
