i think they are loud enough i also have 2 running a mrd605 amp. it bangs i mean you can hear it down the street and it sets off car alarms but anyway im gonna add 2 more and push them with 2 1200.1 kicker amps. and custom box i believe i wil be hitting in the 120-130 then mainly because that 8 times as much power im going from 300rms to 2 sub to 600 rms to four subs

130's there is no way in a prefab man c'mon

well first you need to build a box get rid of that prefab thing. those subs would sound great with a seald box.

oh because im also doing show subs and i will get more bang for the buck this way. when im finish i would spend a total of 1500
think about it
4 12's (type-r 05')
2 amps (kx1200.1)
wiring ( four gauge)
custom fiberglass box ( me and a buddy)
neons cartoys
battery ( one with the yellow top)
thats pretty cheap for all of that

im surprised they weren't like BUY THIS 9500 it hits so hard. buy this W7 it sounds so good . and get the most expensive amp.. let us buil you a box and in stall with 0 gauge wire. and you will need a new battery, alt and 2caps. and dont forget the dynomatand the eclipse HU. and just in case some one tries to break in get this $400 dollar car alarm.

idiots then you ring it up and its like 5-7 grand

The amount of decibels you hit depend on:

1. The subwoofer it's self, and the amount of air it moves (cone area x average xmax)
2. Your amp, amount of wattage running to your sub.
3. Your enclosure plays a huge role, it's impossible to say what your hitting without knowing what kind of box.
4. Your vehicle, cabin gain also plays a big part in it, and the same setup may sound different in a different vehicle.
5. Your vehicle's charging system can actually play a part in it as well, determining the voltage going to your amp, which in turn determines the wattage produced (if you have an amp with an unregulated power supply)

To sum it up, it's simply impossible to determine how many db's a person will hit, even if all the factors are known. There's just too much stuff that can effect the outcome, and nobody can honestly give you a close number. The ONLY way to determine what your hitting, is to actaully get your system metered.
