Silver Member Username: Jonez788Post Number: 146 Registered: Jun-04 | Well, when I got my new subs, the guy at Cyclone Stereo(Very Reputable audio shop) said he hit 140 dbs with one 12" Diamond Audio TDX. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Econoline1Post Number: 36 Registered: Jun-06 | have u tested??? was he right??? |
|
Silver Member Username: Jonez788Post Number: 147 Registered: Jun-04 | Me? I haven't tested it. I don't see why he would of lied to me. He was a big advocate for the TDXs. One 15" TDX at 1000 watts was almost equal to two fully powered 15" CVRS. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Econoline1Post Number: 37 Registered: Jun-06 | that tdx is a nice sub. im getting a 13w7 (not cheap lol) that will hit 145 |

Silver Member Username: StnorrisEldridge, IA US Post Number: 324 Registered: Apr-06 | lol. theres way too many factors to say if this is easy or not to do. get 2 15"s at about 500 rms each, and youll hit that with the right box. |

Silver Member Username: Troy81Tavernier, Fl Us Post Number: 336 Registered: Mar-06 | chauncy, is your considered daily, that tahoe? cuz ive got 2 12's and i would like to bet that im 140+ but ive never heard a test |
|
Gold Member Username: RedlinerWilmington, Ma Post Number: 1958 Registered: Jun-05 | im not saying your not troy but i highly doubt your 140+ i would bet more around 130-135 unless u ave the mojo's then i could see you higher but ya im willing to bet in the 30's thats were most people are |
|
Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 7661 Registered: Jul-05 | in a box tuned for sql like most of u guys boxes are there is no way u r hitting 140, unless u play test tones, at full blast all day long.. Also guys at comps dont listen to music when hitting high numbers.....they use really high test tones, and really high tuned boxes that sound like sh!t |
|
Silver Member Username: Alex_fNear lexington, Ky Us Post Number: 946 Registered: Nov-05 | ^^^exactly chauncey! There were barely any daily drivers at a comp i went to. ONe guy hit 150db with 2 12" type s alpines, no joke, but it was in a snail shell. It barely had as much pressure as other cars becauase it was playing a 60HZ tone or something. |

Bronze Member Username: Nveselinovic16vPost Number: 66 Registered: Mar-05 | well I hit 145 with 2xjbl 1202 gto and a single mtx 1501d amp... and every day setup is 2xalpine type x which do 147 all day long |

Gold Member Username: FandimReno, Nevada United State... Post Number: 1157 Registered: Jun-05 | Hmm... Most people in comps are using boxes tuned at higher than 50hz.. This is not suitable for playing any kind of music. Also Jimmy - assuming your 13W7 is going to hit 145, is pretty confident of yourself. Yes, a 13W7 can do it, properly powered, but more importantly, you have to have the right kind of vehicle, and a REALLY good box. Are you in a hatchback? Because I can almost guarantee you wont be hitting 145dB legal in a trunk. |
|
Silver Member Username: Baseball1187Columbia, SC Post Number: 683 Registered: Dec-04 | I like to think my setup is loud... But then again I would like to think I'm at least hitting 140db. 145, well you can spend a lot of money and have nice stuff, but if you don't know what you're doing... you will never reach 145. jimmy. good luck on your 13W7 hitting 145db. If you are that confident I take it you have much experience, or very very little, in the car audio field. |

Silver Member Username: ReefPost Number: 341 Registered: Oct-05 | I have a hatchback camaro with 2 CVRs and a A800t amp wat you think mine would hit it 35hz you think like 120 or somthin lol "just wonderin" |
|
Silver Member Username: TheweaselSteamboat springs, Colorado U.S. of A Post Number: 338 Registered: Mar-06 | devin you're probably hittin higher than that. with my aa arsenal i hit 142.2 db's and playing an actual song i hit 139.? for 5 seconds. if i had my music playing at 139 db's all day it wwould get really annoying and hurt my ears. all of you people who want to know what will hit 145-150 db's have never actually heard that much volume. i heard 142 and it was EXTREMELY LOUD. remember each 3db's you go up is double the sound audibly |
|
Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 4061 Registered: Oct-05 | rob so you are saying if you were to enter a bass race in a comp, you would hit 139? i've seen 2 solo x 18s on 6000wmrs only hit 142 at a bass race. i strongly doubt your single arsenal is going to hit 139 playing music. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Freezeman_7Post Number: 84 Registered: May-06 | i hit 129 with my my two little 10 inch infinity perfects ... the amp is turned way down also .. so i dont know what it would be if i turned it... i have turned it up b4 and it was all distorted and crap... sounds good now tho |
|
Gold Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 3131 Registered: Sep-05 | Chad is EXACTLY correct... aint no way in hell 1 sub hittin 139 in bassrace... the pros cant even get 1 sub to do 150 in bassrace yet... u must have a HELL of a install... |
|
Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 3003 Registered: Mar-04 | well...its not easy to do 145dB daily. but, w/ 1 SX15 and a jbl bp1200.1...i do 148.x on burps and i average 144.5dB on music (Usaci Street Beat 2...i tried it this weekend) This is in an 98 extended cab chevy silverado...also, i burp at 48hz. Can one sub do 140's in bassrace/street beat...YES, but it would require a hell of an install. I know there is a guy in SB1 w/ 1 10" doing 147's (w/ a orion 2500d, in a single cab S10) But i have also seen 16 12's do 149. |
|
Silver Member Username: TheweaselSteamboat springs, Colorado U.S. of A Post Number: 348 Registered: Mar-06 | chad- it wasn't playing music continuously. i played it for less than 5 sec with bass controls all the way up. it's not any different than burping a test tone. 2 18" solo x's would it way more than 142. this video they hit almost 170. http://www.realmofexcursion.com/videos/Kicker/solox18.1.wmv |

Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1559 Registered: Oct-05 | enclosure, alt, wires, etc |
|
Bronze Member Username: CawbPost Number: 35 Registered: May-06 | is that it Enclosure,alt,wires,so how you knwo if a ecnlosure is good? if there are not leaks and its strongly built and tuned properly and do you think buyin a good set of RCAs will help my system sound better? and wat other stuff because im savin up to buy a new system and i wanna know wat all i need to have a good Install so i get the best out of my subs and amp. |
|
Silver Member Username: StnorrisEldridge, IA US Post Number: 340 Registered: Apr-06 | good install: strong built box, tuned for whatever your looking for (sq or spl) and the right amount of cubic feet, the right wiring, and possibly a HO alt. New rcas wont make that much of a difference. i probably couldnt tell the difference between my old crappy rcas, and my new rcas, if someone else switched them. to start thinking about a good install, you have to have an idea of what your going to get for subs and amp. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Nveselinovic16vPost Number: 68 Registered: Mar-05 | my box for alpine's was tuned to 37HZ. 2 alpines and 1.5kw per sub. The is a hatchback. Bmw compact. But 145 is a nice score. I ran the subs parallel so i got 0.5ohm on MTX (NOT MODDED). If it was moded it should go up a bit more. Well for a proof... I'll post some pics in couple of days when I test all that in litte Panda |

Gold Member Username: FandimReno, Nevada United State... Post Number: 1160 Registered: Jun-05 | Heh.. I hit over 150 dB in my daily driver.  (Front passenger side windshield - legal - TL mic) I dont really compete with my car, though, since I'd end up being in the super street 5+.. Also, the people in these installs, a lot of them, arent 'rollin around blastin hard core rap entering comps' because comp cars like I said earlier are normally tuned well over 50hz. This is NOT suitable for playing music, only test tones. You're missing a HUGE gap of bass from 20-50hz. Remember, there's a MUCH bigger difference(audibly), between say 20hz and 21hz, than there is between 60hz and 61hz. Oh for those that dont know, my daily driver is a 1999 Firechicken.. had six 12's in bandpass boxes, and a 13W7 in a slot ported box.. Still have the 13W7, but in the process of switching my setup to six 15" MB Quarts in sealed boxes.. (was giving all six 12's a total of 1200 watts, but will be giving 1200 watts to every pair of 15's, tripling the power. Also giving my 13W7 1200 watts. All Xenon amplifiers.. (will have a total of three 1200.1's, and two 600.1's). |

Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 4062 Registered: Oct-05 | rob.....i am not trying to knock your system. you have a nice system. i noticed in you profile you have an acura tl (nice car btw) and an audiobahn a8000t powering your single arsenal. i assume your sub is in the trunk. i am simply saying it will be hard to hit the numbers you are saying it does with a single 15" sub powered by a 800wmrs amp in the trunk. |

Gold Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 3133 Registered: Sep-05 | Seth... in BASSRACE, enclosure are tuned low some are even sealed... that is the sole purpose of BASSRACE, to play music @ 150db... it is very hard to even get into the 150 BASSRACE club.... BASSRACE > dbdrag... No one is even DBdragin anymore, cause BASSRACE is so hard and competitive, not to mention FUN.. People turn their HU to max, with WAY more power than we have compined.. and hit sligtly over 150 or mid 50s... I think the highest US BASSRACE score is 158DB right now... and overseas, some Panda hit 16X in BASSRACE.. But hey Pandas are ILLEGAL in this country! I dont understand how you guys are hittin 150 in BASSRACE (playin music) when STEVE MEADE does a 153 in BASSRACE with 4 18 MTs and buttloads of power... Im puzzled... I was too tired last night to type all this.. Ohh all TL numbers... always... |
|
Gold Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 3134 Registered: Sep-05 | Seth im sure you hit 150 burping... so minus 6-10db... so you actual hit about 140db in BASSRACE! Now how can someone do that with 1 sub? VS your several?? Like I said HELL of a install with NO ERRORS! Ohh in a trunk setup?? hmm |
|
Gold Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 3137 Registered: Sep-05 | I just had to pull back up this list... This is the 150 club folks! understand it! 1)Livewire- 158.3 2)Tommy- 154.1 3)Meade- 153.8 4)Will- 152.7 5)Pipo- 152.5 6)Bartell-151.2 7)Oki- 151.1 8)Neil- 150.5 9)McClelland- 150.2 10)? |

Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 3005 Registered: Mar-04 | Nemanja Veselinovic, Pandas get LOUD...they are even easier to get loud than a CRX!!! Oh...and BTW, most BassRace and (usaci) StreetBeat systems are also tune kinda high. They use songs that have steady bass notes at a freq close to their vehicles peak freq. (Ex...if your burp box peaks at ~50hz, DJ Magic Mike is your friend...*hint-hint* for those of you looking to do SB ) |

Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 3008 Registered: Mar-04 | BassRace (dBDrag) and Street Beat (Usaci) are competion classes where your SPL is averaged over 30seconds...not just a burp. You play music and the meter averages your SPL like 10+ times a second for the whole 30seconds. and BTW...this is a panda: http://gblx.cache.el-mundo.net/elmundomotor/especiales/2002/10/coches/utilitario s/imagenes/fiat_panda_climbing_xxl.jpg they get really loud and like to peak around 70hz (if i remember correctly). Anyone that has been to an SPL show in the US and saw a Honda CRX win...well the fiat panda can get even louder. |
|
Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 3009 Registered: Mar-04 | one more thing...they are not road legal in the US, so you cant run them in SPL comps in the US.

|
Silver Member Username: Rob_pregRoyal oak, Michigan United states Post Number: 395 Registered: Sep-05 | 40 is okay, but your gunna lose that low extension that makes me love having subs. 28-34 Hz is a good tuning frequency range for daily driving, but that also depends on the sub and the manufacturers recommendation. some subs like a higher tuning freq. check the specs, and if you cant find it, call or email the manufacturer. |

Silver Member Username: Wolfman1966WEST MONROE , LOUISIANA USA Post Number: 159 Registered: Jan-06 | HMMM, I can hit up to 130-131 with my BASS HITS CD playing, especially on song #7 (Wooferwrecker)...it has a big bass drop at the beginning. Sometimes, if everything is working right, I can hit 132, with the right song on the radio, both windows down, and the meter on the passenger sid kick. Now I know this isn't real loud, but I am doing this with a 350 watt Visonik mono amp (putting out about 220 watts@2ohms,because I have the subs wired parallel), and 2-10 inch Alphasonik Q-Reference Series subs. Considering this whole setup only cost me about $130 (thank you E-Bay and Wal-Mart..lol) thats $1 for every decibel, I think I got a pretty good deal, especially for my first setup. I might could get it higher by cranking the gain up on my amp, I only have it about 1/3 of the way up. But that causes too much distortion. |
|
Gold Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 3154 Registered: Sep-05 | Michael Cheatham.... I belive CDs like "wooferwrecker" have sinewaves sweeps, in the background... CDs of this kind is ILLEGAL in BASSRACE! you need a factory recorded CD! NO sweeps, sinewaves, tones are allowed in BASSRACE! MUSIC only!! |

Bronze Member Username: Econoline1Post Number: 44 Registered: Jun-06 | ive already blown 2 3002spl premiers those subs are great spl subs. It made everything rattle in my econoline. but a 13w7 has soooo much more sq and spl combined. it is really orgasimic (they won let me spell it correctly;p) |

I couldnt hear any distortion. then I smelt smoke and I though. ok fiukk. lol that was it. since then I have a w6 500 rms to hold me until my 13w7 comes in from toronto. powered @ 1000 rms. I expected too much from that 3002spl premier sub. never the less it is a very good sub if your looking for strickly spl. |
