i have a jl w6-v2 being pushed by 500 watts in a ported box tuned to jl specs. when i pick up friends they say that they heard me from in there house for a good minute or two before i got there. havnt tried to do the math with it but i think it comes out to half mile, maybe more. i dont know anyone else got an answer to this.

Don't know why you'd want people to hear it from that far away...
It all depends on the set up.
What kind of car it is in will have a huge part in it as well.
It won't take as much as you think... it all depends on the car though... and inclosure.

if your windows are down you can hear almost any system from a somewhat good distance away. its cool when someone has 4 12s and you cant hear anything when they have there windows up...just my opinion

What if it is 2 12" subs with 250 watts rms?? Could you hear it from a good distance with windows down and seat down with subs in trunk?

If they can hear you from inside their house from 2 minutes away your your radio is too loud in the neighborhood. Just common curtesy :-) As for that, It really doesnt take 10000000 watts and 40 subs to have a car that can be heard form far away, especially with the windows down. In a good inclosure that can be achieved with just one sub. I know that one 15" RE .Mt in a Explorer can be heard from far away, but that was during tailgaiting at the Ten vs. Georgia game :-)

Yeah, it isn't a good idea to blast you're system so everyone can hear you.
Cops/old people don't like it... but thieves love it!:-)
Anon, more than likely you'll be able to hear that.

no one wants the money under your mattress until they know it's there, or you show them.

think about that. it pertains to your system.:-)
