Bear in mind that an EMP grenade that takes out the audio system would likely kill the vehicle’s entire electrical system as well. That is, the vehicle would stall in front of your house; do you really want a bunch of angry young men on your lawn?

I am a career soldier and reading this BS that everybody put on here about EMPs and about signal corps, you all have lost the spectrum on what this is about this is the future and it is here to stay a 155 doesnt cure anything except blowing things apart which you dont know if you got the RIGHT thing or not!!! the electronic warfare training area is right on the money and with the comments you post about getting it to work right all of these components do work right and if you would get your 12 out of your 6 and open your eyes this technology and the personnel who are experts in these fields could someday save you or your buddys life, in other words wake up its all because you dont understand the concepts and what it does you dont like it.
Again i am a career Soldier and IED MG, as well as EWOC 1K and i have saved many lives with this technology SO live with it.

This probably dates me badly, but as I recall, active radio receivers emit a small radio signal, though this may only apply to superhet systems, and it might also be possible to ping the antenna of an IED
As to the unwelcome side effects of indiscriminate jamming, that’s what directional antennas are for.
And EMP is well known to blow semiconductor junctions, and at the wavelengths of interest should be pretty directional. If it’s powerful enough, it should even be able to pop electrical detonators

If the grendade reaches the range for the EMP to reach the electronics of the subwoofer, yes! but
I rather would optimize a microwave oven to cook it

Sounds like a work in progress. Very cool technology when they do get it to work.

Sounds cool, where do I sign up? Will one of those EMP grenades take out the annoying 12″ subwoofer cars that pass by my house?

I know how to build an easy DIY EMP grenade to knock out IED electronics. Was it that complicated?
