Silver Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 526 Registered: Mar-04 | "records" change every year. when the rules for different organizations change, so do the records. i know that in USACi a guy down here is louisiana did 181.5dB in super port-wars. that 181.5 is the highest # EVER recorded on a termlab mic. |

|
Silver Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 527 Registered: Mar-04 | it was in super port-wars...you stick the mic into the port of your box. 160dB+ scores are common in super port. But was still an insane #. he did it w/ 1 10" selenium sub but i'm not sure which amp he was using. |

Gold Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 1887 Registered: Aug-04 | Yeah, 181 is pretty damn loud, but it's not that big of a deal in super port wars. I'm pretty sure Jeff is right. Pioneer hit like 176 something with their top subs. |

Bronze Member Username: SteelheadgoofFairfield, California US Post Number: 56 Registered: Mar-05 | The pioneer premier SPL series woofer holds the record. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Sqeeks80Post Number: 15 Registered: Mar-05 | again nobody really knows...someone saying Pioneer and someone is saying MTX..... I read on th net that 2004 Pioneer got it with 9 of their top of the range woofers! |

donitez Unregistered guest | What sucks, is many companies hold the world record for SPL, just depending on what format is used. Some allow doors open, some doors closed, some mic on the windshield, others mic placed wherever. Would be cool if they would make one offical format pertaining to mic placement, and those sort of things for the true "SPL World Record". Has anyone heard what Alma Gates and the new Bronco has done yet? |

Gold Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 1893 Registered: Aug-04 | Yeah, I've seen that Bronco. |
|
cuspid fo life Unregistered guest | i do believe CUSPID holds the current SPL records at 179 DBS, some guy had about 50 "max power" subs (made by Cuspid) in van they were being powered by (of course) 25 cuspid amps that are rated at 1600 Watts Max!!!! ALTHOUGH, they are only 80 RMS for ONLY 2 channels |

Unregistered guest | I have been building speaker boxes, systems, and studied alot of audio science reviews and junk like that since 1987. I have never been to a SPL war or competition, and because I am about quality, not quantity. Nevertheless; It has been said that a large orchestra measures about 100 dB. 110 dB average concert 120 dB loud thunder 130 dB threshhold of pain 140 dB military jet take-off 160 dB instant perforation of eardrum Now; I am not doubting the scientific physical possibilities, but are any of these claims provable by a set standard of measuring device and/or parameters? Why would anyone build something that obnoctious anyways? Just curious... |

Unregistered guest | Speaker measurements have a standard of measuring at 1 meter away using 1 watt of power. Thats how we get the dB rating for our stuff. If you have ever looked at a frequency response curve on a graph; you may have noted that bass frequencies are usually well below the dB rating that the speaker is labeled at. Most manufacturers use the dB level that the speaker produces at 1kHz. My point is; the frequency, wattage input, and distance from the mic to the speaker should be standardized. |

Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 1892 Registered: Dec-04 | actually the world record is held by pioneer premier and i believe aits like 177.7, and it WILL be broken this summer by II (installer institue) when they finish there car, 2 15inch jbl 5000's run off a single jbl 6000 watt beast amp, you guys know what im talking about, they guarrantee they will take the world record with this, while iw as in holly hill near daytona i went and checked the car out, they said they put the car on a tow truck and it lifted the front end up of the tow truck, its insane, but its a little tiny 80 somen hynudai lol |

Gold Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 1896 Registered: Aug-04 | Has anybody on here watched the video on realmofexcursion of the van with 14 Mt's and 28 amps? It weighed 7.5 tons. |
|
Gold Member Username: James1115Wilton, Ct Post Number: 2224 Registered: Dec-04 | no I am gonna check it out now though! |
|
Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 1896 Registered: Dec-04 | yea it hit like 167 somen i thinl, and when i wa at II getting the tour the lady said that during my like 3rd week or whatnot i would learn box building and my team, or 3 or 4 students would get 4 6 inch SPEAKERS and build a box for them and see who can make it hit the highest spl and most people do somewhere between like 163-167 lol, how the hell does 4 6 inch SPEAKERS beat out 14 MT's |

Silver Member Username: FishyTamarac Ft.Laud, FL USA Post Number: 892 Registered: Sep-04 | I wonder what kinda numbers you could hit in an M1A Abrams with the top turret hatch open. I'd think its armor would make a fairly rigid, low loss enclosure. Probably has one bad@$$ alternator too. -Fishy |

Bronze Member Username: MixneffectOrangevale, Ca. USA Post Number: 14 Registered: Apr-05 | Donny Keen, Wiring multiple speakers is called SERIES/PARALELL Say for instance you have 16 woofers; Divide them in sets of four each. Wire each set as follows; 1 speaker + 2 speaker = series 3 speaker + 4 speaker = series ------------------------------ Paralell the sum of 1&2 plus 3&4 together now. Repeat the process again with the remaining 3 sets. See at first you wire in series, doubling the resistance. Then you wire the next step in paralell which halves the resistance, thus bringing it back down to even resistance. When all four sets are wired, take set 1 & set 2 and repeat the process again. Now do the same for set 3 & set 4. Note: You may only do this in even sets of four (4,8,16,32,64,128,256, etc...). If you do it in any other grouping, you will end up with chaos, if you dont understand audio science. In other words take this as useless information. |

Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 1923 Registered: Dec-04 | mixneffect, i think he means like tons of amps with those subs, because there are only a few rcs jacks |
|
Gold Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 1916 Registered: Aug-04 | You daisy chain the amps. |
|
Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 1924 Registered: Dec-04 | whats that mean |
|
Silver Member Username: Rob_brownPost Number: 224 Registered: Jul-04 | from output on one amp, to input on another |
|
Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 1954 Registered: Dec-04 | ohi ok, i didnt know you could do that lol |
|
Gold Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 1926 Registered: Aug-04 | Yeah, most good amps have rca outputs as well as inputs. |

TP Unregistered guest | Hi. i recently sold my Kicker Comp 15" and kenwood 1000w amp, it was way too loud and not very clean. I want a good sounding system that is deep and loud but not pounding. I was thinking 2 10" rounds or maybe just 1 10" Kicker L7. what do you think would be better? if anything else would sound better what brands do you recommend? also please recommend a some-what cheap amp that will run the system. thanks |
