Need max spl out of my sub
|
James1464 Unregistered guest | I've got a school car show coming up, and I entered into the car stereo competition. I need to know what kind of box i should build to get the loudest I can. I have a 1991 ford escort hatchback, with 2 Thump 12" Competition subwoofers. i have a Pyle PLA2750 amp, it's 2400 watts so each sub is getting serious power. I have a sealed box, and my car can probably hit around 155db already, i was wondering if someone can tell me what kind of box to build i want to get another 10 db or so. |

|
New member Username: GreeneyGrove, MN US Post Number: 3 Registered: Dec-05 | you wont get another 10 db out of that, its really complicated on how db's work but like after like a certain amount it takes so many watts to up it a db |

James 1464 Unregistered guest | http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_5862.html These are my subs they are competition subs. They are cheap but they are pretty loud. i think they are cheap because they aren't a big company. |

|
James1464 Unregistered guest | I dont need a site to tell me my subs are good they are competition subs. just cause they are cheap doesnt mean they suck. theyre the same as any other competition sub. theres 3 classes, entry level, quality every day, and competition. and mine are competition. just cause other companies choose to charge more doesnt make them better. |

Silver Member Username: LexuscoopPost Number: 225 Registered: Dec-05 | my mirror vibrated when i didn't have any type of subwoofer in my car |

Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 2996 Registered: Jul-05 | "i want to get another 10 db or so" This is one of the funniest threads ive seen in a long time. |
|
Silver Member Username: LexuscoopPost Number: 230 Registered: Dec-05 | is it even possible to get 10dB's just from changin your box? |
|
Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 2997 Registered: Jul-05 | like i said if everbody else has crap like u, u might stand a chance, but never come to a car audio forum and talk about stuff u have no clue about. Have u ever even heard 155 db's?? that will do more than make ur windows vibrate |
|
Anonymous | RMS Power Handling N/A........ROFFLMFAO.....thats the shittiest sub i have ever seen in my whole fckin live dude.......my fitty dolla pioneer 306 can fck the sh!t out of that piece of sh!t |
|
Bronze Member Username: HootzSaskatoon, Saskatchewan Canada Post Number: 71 Registered: Oct-05 | no not unless you're going from a box that is horribly out of spec to a box that is perfect. |
|
Silver Member Username: LexuscoopPost Number: 231 Registered: Dec-05 | i think he just doesn't know how loud that actullly is... its probably like 60-80dB's...and he has nothing to compare it to |
|
James1464 Unregistered guest | i just compare it to my friends car who hit 152 in a comp, and mine is a bit louder |
|
New member Username: GreeneyGrove, MN US Post Number: 10 Registered: Dec-05 | James1464 what kind of alt. do u have? |
|
Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 2998 Registered: Jul-05 | The loudest systems in the world are 175-185 dbs and he really thinks if he builds a new box he can get to 165 db's |
|
Silver Member Username: LexuscoopPost Number: 232 Registered: Dec-05 | where did they put the mic for ths compotition? |
|
James1464 Unregistered guest | the one that came with my car |

Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 2999 Registered: Jul-05 | what does he have audiobum 15's with a 3000 watt legacy amp.lol |
|
Silver Member Username: LexuscoopPost Number: 234 Registered: Dec-05 | theres a system out now that can saposibly kill you... like 312dB... its on google if you look up woulds loudest system |
|
Bronze Member Username: GreeneyGrove, MN US Post Number: 11 Registered: Dec-05 | ur not hitting 155db, theres no way in hell |

|
Silver Member Username: LexuscoopPost Number: 235 Registered: Dec-05 | yes there is... remember that paralell univers thread i started like last week... in that univers he would probably have the best system.... =) |
|
Bronze Member Username: GreeneyGrove, MN US Post Number: 13 Registered: Dec-05 | 312db would shake the earth dude, theres no such thing, db r so confusing after they hit a certain db like i said before |
|
Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 3001 Registered: Jul-05 | to hit over 190 db's u would have to break the sound barrier |
|
Silver Member Username: LexuscoopPost Number: 236 Registered: Dec-05 | your right mike, it was 177. something, heres the link http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/ptech/07/02/popsci.stereo.kill/ |

Silver Member Username: LexuscoopPost Number: 237 Registered: Dec-05 | its still not workin for me.... |
|
Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 3005 Registered: Jul-05 | well go to http://www.pioneerelectronics.com and click on subwoofers |
|
Silver Member Username: LexuscoopPost Number: 238 Registered: Dec-05 | i think the RMS on his subs is like... 350... kuz usually its about half of the peak power... |
|
Silver Member Username: LexuscoopPost Number: 239 Registered: Dec-05 | damn dude.... thats insaine.... how do you like sit there with that a system that loud right next to you?? |
|
Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 3007 Registered: Jul-05 | i dont think they could even handle 350 rms without f*cking up |
|
Silver Member Username: Graphix1Santa Rosa Heights, Arima Trinidad & T... Post Number: 231 Registered: Oct-05 | But he can at least sit in his driveway and listen to music, yes? Actually, no. Irving's audio system can't play music. It's designed to play a single frequency -- 74 Hz -- very loud. Thats the stupidest thing i ever hear whats the point its not even a sound system it should be called 74hz test tone playr |
|
Silver Member Username: LexuscoopPost Number: 242 Registered: Dec-05 | lol... well his amp is 2400... so they are gettin plenty of power....."Pyle PLA2750 amp, it's 2400 watts so each sub is getting serious power" so they are gettin the SERIOUS power they need.... |
|
Silver Member Username: LexuscoopPost Number: 243 Registered: Dec-05 | i think he isn't going to register... we were too mean... |
|
Bronze Member Username: GreeneyGrove, MN US Post Number: 14 Registered: Dec-05 | haha the funny thing is he thinks hes gonna win the comp with them, and i highly doubt he would be hitting 155db with his 1991 stock alt. |
|
Silver Member Username: LexuscoopPost Number: 244 Registered: Dec-05 | how many of those subs would you actually need to push 155 dB's? like 30? |
|
Bronze Member Username: GreeneyGrove, MN US Post Number: 15 Registered: Dec-05 | idk, he'd probably be getting there |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 3856 Registered: Jun-04 | If 190 db actually is breaking the sound barrier I look forward to the day it happens lol |
|
Silver Member Username: LexuscoopPost Number: 246 Registered: Dec-05 | well if you think about it, if you break the sound barior with dbs then it will get louder, kuz when a plain passes the sound barrior theres a sonic boom... i wonder what would happen if sound breaks the sound barior |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 3857 Registered: Jun-04 | guys dont forget powered for sound supposedly hits like 140 db with the audiobahn 6.5's just one pair on about 200 rms and if I can hit 130 db with a pair of 6.5's on 280 rms then powered for sound can do 140's on 200 rms |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 3858 Registered: Jun-04 | because my box wasnt even built to my car and I hit 130 db at 43 hz |

Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 3019 Registered: Jul-05 | he needs to relize no matter where he goes online there going to tell him the same stuff, they might not be as mean as us though.lol |

Anonymous | Man you guys have no idea what you're talking about. My system kicks and you're just jealous. You dont understand that because my subs arent name brand that they aren't good but i bet that they could go head to head with the best name brand. |
|
Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 3021 Registered: Jul-05 | nope, u would not stand a chance  |

Silver Member Username: Alex_fLawrenceburg, Ky Us Post Number: 154 Registered: Nov-05 | your right. we no nothing about car audio. your subs are better than a jl w7 hands down. |
|
James1464 Unregistered guest | Yeah that's right you have no idea. When i put a screw on the speakers it would bounce it around and shoot it about 4 inches up...last time i checked that's pretty good. |
|
Silver Member Username: Alex_fLawrenceburg, Ky Us Post Number: 155 Registered: Nov-05 | my $40 peice of crap reactors will do that.they dont sound bad, but it has nothing on a good subwoofer |
|
Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 3022 Registered: Jul-05 | i put a screw on my subs and it shoots up like 12 feet, last time i checked it was pretty good, James dont be mad man, where where just foolin around, please register and learn. and i promise u all of ur friends will be jealous of what u no |

James1464 Unregistered guest | I dont know but my amp is giving them 1200 rms each and they work |
|
Silver Member Username: LexuscoopPost Number: 251 Registered: Dec-05 | i don't think so, they have a max of 700... sent me a pic of your amp, or the site |
|
Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 3024 Registered: Jul-05 | ur amp could not possible put out 1200 rms, if ur subs still work, plus its pyle, so maybe 120 rms |

Silver Member Username: TjmutlowPost Number: 328 Registered: Sep-05 | My 2 orion p15s on an 2500d in my rodeo would not do 155, soooooooooooo, pyle unit, not even close. |
|
Gold Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 1343 Registered: Sep-04 | 10 dollars says he hits low 130s at best... but i actually think its somebody trying to get every1 rallyed up. because theres no way he could think that setup is extremely loud... some1 has had to have a system that drove next to him to where he cudnt even hear his before lol... ive driven next to a truck probably full of L7s (cause it had a big kicker decal on it) and my windows were even up, but i could feel my hair vibrating... pretty damn loud. lol. but yes he has got a LOT to learn lol |

|
Silver Member Username: A444w444mPost Number: 106 Registered: Oct-05 | idk when i put a screw in my sub it shot out and went straight through 3 ppl and killed all of em... seriously though, 300 dbs would probably make every person w/in like 20 miles or more literally just explode. even a star exploding might not be that loud. |
|
Silver Member Username: A444w444mPost Number: 107 Registered: Oct-05 | ijust read on the article about that guy w/ like 177 db that the sound is doubled every 10 db. i always thought evry 3 db sound wuz doubled but the article says every it requires twice as many watts to boost it up 3 db. is that right? |
|
Gold Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 1347 Registered: Sep-04 | yes you gain appx 3db when you double the power. however, sound is considered to be doubled at 6-10db. whenever i refer to doubled i just say 6db though.... |
