Silver Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 179 Registered: Dec-05 | people in here, the experts like chauncey and all those guys say that those subs are bad and they don't recommend it to anybody |

Bronze Member Username: NissankickerGrambling, LA USA Post Number: 61 Registered: Mar-06 | Those subs are everything but BAD! The only thing I've heard * The same company - Audiobahn * that sound better is the Immortal series! ... |
|
Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 2428 Registered: Mar-04 | I would NOT recommend those audiobahn subs!!! What is your budget? DJ...
man, do you realize how loud 155dB really is??? I highly doubt that 2 audiobahn eternals would come anywhere close to 155.(even in a one-note-wonder box) Even Immortals are a waste of $...beleive me, i have installed quite a few. bud...i'm not being mean...but, please go to an SPL comp and see what a LOUD system really is. |

Bronze Member Username: NissankickerGrambling, LA USA Post Number: 62 Registered: Mar-06 | I've been to MANY SPL comps.... I know what a loud system is! My work-partner hit 159.2db or something around there! He was: '96 Nissan Maxima (2) 12" SPL Extreme Competition Each speaker is gettin' 3.25 cuft. of air space Fiberglass ported 2-chamber box (2) Rockford Fosgate 2500D amps * Extra batter - don't know what kind * 5 Farad Audiobahn Cap 0gauge wire throughout the car ( That's just his bass ) ~ I'm got even goin' to expose his sh!t like that! His brother-in-law hit about 161db. 2005 Dodge Ram Quad-Cab (4) 12" SPL Extreme Competition Fiberglass ported box Each sub is gettin' around 2.1 cuft. of air space (4) Rockford Fosgate 2500D * 2 Extra batteries - Don't know what kind ( probably same as brother-in-law ) (4) 2 Farad caps Those are loud systems!! If you ever want to hear them.. Well, you'll probably only be able to hear the Maxima... Come to Ruston, LA! I've heard MANY loud systems! And yes! the Eternal Series can reach 150-155db ... B/c I've seen it done... And the Immortals can hit over 155db ... I know myself w/ my 2 L7s... I hit 148.4 on a db meter! ... And I need a BIGGER BOX!... So I know loud!.. I'm a true SPL freak |

And they had a meter to allowed they few folks that were they to blast away! That's how I was measured... I know some police squad cars in ruston have db meters... HAHAHA! They'll use'em on you to in a heart-beat! ... I was usin' a Bass CD that my homie recieved from Kicker And I also had another bass CD, but I only played the scale.. Freq. is set @ 40 or 42hz ( It's not less than 40 I know that... * According to the guy that gave me this box * |

Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 2446 Registered: Mar-04 | yea man...i kinda hate to, but after looking at those #'s agian...i'm throwin up the BS flag too. (unless those #'s were on an old AC mic) 1st place at dBDrag Nationals last year in Street B (2 12's class) was 153.7 on the TermLab. DJ...did that meter look like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/AUDIOCONTROL-SA-3055-CAR-AUDIO-DB-SPL-METER-SYSTEM-NEW_W0QQi temZ7600682046QQcategoryZ25423QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem (but instead of the graph, it displayed #'s) but i will have to say thi...i have seen 2 RE Mt15's w/ 8 crossfire 1000d's do 162.xdb on the TL. (USACi comp...i have a vid) |

Gold Member Username: CenusHicksville, Ohio Usa Post Number: 1396 Registered: Jan-05 | LOL, what a crock of sh1t, you might hit those numbers if its in the port, but thats the only way. but if you really are hittin those numbers with your L7's come to ohio and i let my friend with 2 10's own your azz, cause i know he will, 2 10inch shocker sigs, and SS boxes, with a kx2500.1 to each=153.2 on old TL so its about 148-149 on the new TL, and thats in a mustang. |

Bronze Member Username: NissankickerGrambling, LA USA Post Number: 68 Registered: Mar-06 | Well, I know what I saw! And I know what I heard!... that's what they hit, and you can come down here and witness it * I have no reason to lie, if I was lyin', i'd good to the bragging sections like a lame, and claim crap I don't have, etc! * It looked similiar to that, prally a lil' smaller, and the mic was shaped different!... they put the mic piece in my trunk, shut it, and it showed 138.4 |
|
Silver Member Username: Ishkabobble55Erie, Pennsylvania Post Number: 217 Registered: Jul-05 | 138.4 i think you mean 148.4. and the mic in the trunk pretty much makes the biggest difference in the world!!! they measure db's legally on the dash, unless your doin port wars or outlaw or whatever... i dont know much about spl comps and measurin db's but i know enough to tell you that^^^^^^ |

Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 2448 Registered: Mar-04 | http://www.mobileaudiocontrol.com/product.asp?Product_Id=28613&d_Id=5252&l1=5252 &l2=# Did the mic itself look more like this? Either way, if the "box" part looked like the one in the link i posted above...it is an old AC mic. (if it was smaller, it was an old Coustic mic) They both meter 3-6dB higher than the new Termlab. And if you metered w/ the mic in the trunk...thats another 3-6dB higher than metering in the kick-panel (USACi style). Metering in the trunk is pretty much metering in the port (port-wars style)...btw, i do 161.x port-wars on the Termlab. A half-a22ed estimate for Termlab scores in the kick-panel would be: 150-153 for the "159", 152-155 for the "161". If you meter Legal style (doors/windows closed, meter on the dash)...subtract ~2-3dB from those "adjusted" numbers. The Termlab is a hard a22 meter to get a high # on...but they are very, very accurate. |
