Just wondering how many of you have hit over 140 db's with their car system, and what you used to hit it. right now i have 2 10''jensens 12'' MTX powered by a mtx 4 ch and a fosgate mono and i hit 136 db's at the local competition, So im hoping to hit 140+ this yr, but i don't know what exactly to get. Im hoping for 2-12's would be nice but unsure which as of yet. So if you guys hit 140 dbs i would be interested in what you have right now.

I havent been measured yet, but in my new box im hoping to break 140 without a sweat. Im gong to be running 1 15" poweramper xp^2 competition sub feeding it 1100 watts rms 4.5 cube box tuned to 30hz..yeah should be loud...

if you are looking for a good deal on some great 12's check out dayton DVC's good subs, a good price and a 5 year warranty

Your on the fast road to deafness

Jose'sRedTA

agreed...its not music at 140 db either...just deafening vibration

Well I had 2 Pionner 12" DVC subs with 1100 watts running to them. The best I got on the linear X meter was a 142. On an audio control I done a 145.7. Both scores are legal. I've just installed the box for my new setup which is 2 Orion H2 15's. It has took me lots of work to get these subs to fit in the hatch and have enough clearence. When I'm finished with this setup I post my new scores on the Termlab sensor.

I know someone who has 2 12" RE XXX's (mmm nice subs ) and JL amps in a ported box and is hitting 145 dB and the subs aren't even near the top of their rms yet

Friend got 2 Infinities Kappas and Kenwood 800watt amp, he hitting 142 in a crapy box.

He getting a nice ported one built now

Kj Rockz

well i'd hate to talk to you in person, I would always have to repeat myself, louder

First, the site is www.respl.com - I plan on getting some SE's for my Bird. XXX's are sweet subs, but to use at full potiental in a daily driver would make me go deaf in a couple weeks, and having the gains down so they're not as loud is just a waste of XXX's.

And about the box, it's hard to explain. It's not in the normal spot you usually see a box installed. It's custom fiberglass, done all for dB Drag competitions

Gambit69

I was able to hit a 154.1 with this set up. 9 15" MTX 6000 running off of 3 MTX Blue Thunder Class D amplifiers and it was legal and a sanctioned DB drag event.


This set up was not in my firebird but in my Dodge Daytona that has a bad engine and a lot of other problems so it probably will never run again.

demicon

LOL See my looong thread regarding loud systems and hearing issues down the road.

There is alot of excellent information regarding what this loud booming stuff does to your poor poor body.

PHAT89TA

i had 2 12 soundstream mules spl with a custom sealed box powered by fosgate 500a2 that was bridged to 2 ohms mono and i was hittn 143.5. These subs were rated 300rms and 500 max and i was pushing around 400 each to them. man i miss those subs

raecar

i have 3 12" memphis with a 1000d by memphis and it hits 154db and to all people who think i'am going deaf IT'S NOT ANY OF YOUR BUSSINESS SO SHUT UP!!!!!!

almost any pair of halfway respectable 12s will hit 140dB with enough amp power. I hit 141.1 back in the mid-late 90s (before we did the whole "burping" thing) with a pair of Oz 300L 12" subs, which are about as far from an SPL sub as you can get. I also did this in a small sealed box, and these subs beg for a big ported box. Just give them enough power and you'll be surprised.

demicon

Aye?? Sorry, can you repeat that? :P

J/K

Some systems I have been exposed to that hit around this range and are not all base kinda sneak up on you.

Things seem nice and clear, they don't seem too loud.. but then.. slowly.. you start getting a headache.. then you feel a little queazy.. a little dizzy...

Hmmm.

Yes that is.. my brain.. now liquid.. pouring out of my ear...

FyreLance

I guess not everyone here realizes that just because you have a competition vehicle doesn't mean that you have it blaring at competition levels all day every day.

92bird305tbi

Yea I agree, not everyone but alot of people can't restrain themselves from blasting it if they got it. I myself would like to hear when i get old so I keep it to a level thats tolerable. Even saying this the levels I've already been exposed to have taken a toll on my hearing. So guys and gals PLEASE bump responsibily. That said Hope to C-ya in the lanes.

KCobain147

I got mine set up for sound quality, but without even pushing it i hit 136 at a bass off. Eclipse 620 watt amp, 2 12" eclipse dvc subs.

Polecat

140's...try 170's...

Kj Rockz

See, you wouldn't have to yell if your stereo was not so loud it's making you deaf, but it is your choice. We can play our music as loud as we want, but your going to have to pay for it later on. I would never ride in the car car with you, and if I did I would bring ear plugs.

I tend to like my hearing the way it is.

maverick69can

Hey there, this is my first post, I know it should probably be about my car but my stereo is mostly the highlight. I easily hit 149db with a 12" Alpine type R and a 10" both 4 ohm and two alpine MRV-T707 amps with 2 x 1 farad caps and extra battery, could have went louder, just need a bigger circuit breaker, two much draw on a 60amp breaker for 3 amps! I just recentley bought an Alpine MRV-1507 max 1500 watts, so we'll see how that does compared to two 600's.

Kj Rockz

I can garuntee that they dont, I mean i'm like the next guy. I like my music good and loud, but not too loud. I mean I draw the line somewhere, and that has to be at the point of hearing loss.

Kj Rockz

Well it was nice hearing from you on the computer, cause I definately would not want to talk to you in person

maverick69can

This is coming from a guy who can't even spell!

Jim85IROC

iTrader: (2)

But then you just have a science project, not a stereo.

Polecat

a BIG project..but amazingly enough, some play music very, very well....we jammed at dbDrag finals in the lanes with Michael Hughes van...jammin!

Polecat

on an AudioControl surely, not a Termlab...right?

maverick69can

Your talkin breaker right? If so...neither its a 100amp Rockford

onebadwagon

he is talking about the RTA, not the breaker.

Polecat

no, what meter....and if an RTA, would be a high number..

Jim85IROC

iTrader: (2)

Polecat, I think your question got answered without actually getting the answer. Although, your question wasn't actually the one you asked anyway.

At least, I know that my curiosity has been satisfied.

maverick69can

Hey, sorry bout that, I just went to the local public soundoff and the stuck a mic on a stick in the middle of my car and told me to turn it up slowly till it just started to distort then turn it down.

Boomin Boy

ya the XXXs are very nice subs, im kickin myself that i didnt get them when it was time for me to buy. Now im just trying to find the airspace that my HCs need.

in these cars its not too hard to break 140, im going for 155 with this setup but that doesnt mean its going to be at that level all the time. I like the idea of having a nice warm rounded sounded stereo where you can feel the music for cruising then when the time is right you unleash the beast. Kinda like having a 10 second street car.

NEEDAZ

Amen....

curtis84ta

Im just wondering if i were to get 2 MTX RFL 12'' comp subs what amps would power them

www.mtxaudio.com

cause i saw one guy hit 151 db's in an alero with just 1 15'' mtx rfl so i figure i should be around that with the 1 15's but unsure what sort of amp/amps would be needed to do so. i belive they are duel voice coils, would a 2monos for both coils be best or would a 2 channel or 4 channel be better?

Kj Rockz

Yup spelling was never my strong suit, but hey what does spelling have to do with hearing anyewayz. that was a complete waste of effort by you

si_camaro

This is no different to the people who build engines with 3,4,500 bhp and beyond. Maybe all that power won't be used on the public roads, but it sure will at the strip.

Everyone has to have a hobby! Just my take on things.

I have a 500w sub and a pair of 500w 6x9s. Nothing special at all, but I don't compete.

Boomin Boy

the RFLs are pretty well known SPL subs. But its generally said that they shouldnt be used at all for playing music, they have no SQ to them at all and much too high of an Fs to sound good. Infact playing music with these subs is often what will blow them.

with that said if you're going for an SPL only configuration then go for it, you should have great results. Throw about 5kw at each sub in a big ported box and you're golden

Hawk92z-TDZ

Dude come talk to me on the KWF board or CCFBG board and I'll set u up with something good here in canada. I have helped Matt with his 35th Ani, Mystra with two of her cars both of which ran a DVD system(her TransAm hit 137.7 DB with only one 10" sub and the cars is set for just SoundQuality with her DVD setup not SPL), also helped Bam with his and FastEddy with his all from KWF, so feel free to ask them how they like there set ups.

Them RFL's are abit over kill for ya I think m8, you would have to loose your back seat to fit two of them and all your 1/4 mile dreams will go out the window, Hehehe. FastEddy plans to do this as one of his next stereo mods but he wants two 15" RFL's to go with the five 10"s he already has, and ya his back seats a going flying.

Do u know what RFL stands for??? Realy F'n LOUD!!!!! lmao

Oh and for hitting over 140db chk out Tim's ride, I helped design it.
http://groups.msn.com/TDZandFriends/...ly90irocz.msnw he hit 147db with just one sub amp hooked up and no power core connected yet. We just pulled it out of the shop for the drag half done then sent it back in to get finished. He has yet to do a db drag with both amps running properly.

Boomin Boy

RFLs are good SPL subs but you cant listen to them at all for daily driving. There are many subs out there that are just as capable in the lanes that actually have SQ to them.

try- DD 9500 series or 9900 series
RE XXXs or the new MTs (probably really pricey)
Treo CSX
Beyond Audio Inhuman if you can find them
the list goes on...

maverick69can

.

why was it a complete waste of effort? and hearing? what the hell did you hear? I never spoke anything. Or did you mean reading. It seems your about as good at reading as you are at spelling. I suggest you save your efforts for posts which have some point behind them!!

maverick69can

Just want to apologize to everyone else, I didn't want to turn this thread into a bitch fest, but when people say stupid stuff, they must be made aware.

Kj Rockz

Well I guess its a little late for that

maverick69can

This is coming from the guy, who started it all with a comment which should have been kept to himself, seeing as he's the only one who had a comment about my post!

If anyone else has anything to say about this please speak now, so I can accept the fact that it may have been a bad post, or don't say anything at all so hopefully KJ can waste his efforts somewhere else!!!!

Kj Rockz

What biatch? I'm not wasting my efforts, thats your opinion.

maverick69can

Yah it is my opinion, but do you see ANYONE else making post's about this argument? NO, because noone bloody well cares!!!!
So why don't you just drop it all ready!

....just a note
if thats really a picture of you......you're one ugly mother f.........
I feel sorry for your momma.

to everyone else:
sorry for the above comment it had to be said! Again sorry if I offended anyone, KJ if I offended you GOOD!! As far as I'm concerned this ridiculous bickering is done!! KJ feel free to reply, just don't expect a response.

Kj Rockz

Thas a bunch of bull$hit non-sense. your the one who is continuing to post these posts. I will stop if you do.
So let me spell it out clearly for you, so you understand.

do not make another post, or i will have to make another post to follow up that one.

I think that is pretty clear.
