first of all what kinda car do you have?

also you can't expect to buy a dd and slap it in your ride and BAM 150db. nooooooo. marshall does alot of testing on his box tuning. in other words, if you don't have marshall's skills, no way you are gonna see 150db on a tl.

im not a spl expert but the way i read it works is that u go 2 a shop & find out the resonating frequency of ur vehicle & u tune around that freq - this is 4 strickly SPL purpose though

local guy here has fitted 6 15s mmats juggernauths in a wall but he is not into SPL but 4 shows playing actual music 4 the crowds , heard he once had 6 15s CV STrokers in it too but i only heard the juggs which is quite loud .....

my best advice to you is get the setup and get it metered. that way you have a starting point. after you see what you hit, you can work to imporve that tweaking this and tweaking that. you still need a starting point though.

i am gonna get my car metered tomorow. i am nervous. but you know what they say, before you hit 150, you gotta hit in the high 130s first.

btw you are gonna need a lot of work to hit 150 cause your sub will be in the trunk.

you won't hit 150 tuning at 32hz for one :-) .. my advice to you.. build a wall behind the backseat that you box and slide into so you can have your box sealed off from the cabin.. otherwise you have to fill the airspace with the trunk as well. if you want to break that 150 your going to have to sacrifice the lows and start tuning at 40+ until your car peaks. It is trial and error. Make sure you have a good charging system or your dead in the water..

Luckily I did a 145.7dB with my first attempt.. simple street beat box tuned to 35hz and 1000wrms on a single SX 15. Take your time on the box and build it right.. that is where one of the keys will be into achieving your score.. that and making sure you amp can draw the current it needs.. fire the sub/port into the cabin with the trunk sealed off.. port on the drivers side.. ajust.. change tuning frequencies.. and try again. best bet is to use aeroports or make an interchangable slot port :-)

decent.. i went from two SXs in a 14cu.ft box tuned to 28hz to a single SX tuned to 35hz in 4cu.ft .. so now such a sudden jump from the two systems i can't compare but it drops the lows fine.. not quite as well as i'd like though ..


that is something you have to sacifice.. getting loud normally means not getting low

sql it sounds like you are planning this setup for everyday not comps otherwise you wouldnt be worried about if the lows still sound good or not. You do not need to be anywhere near 150 for daily listening. All that is going to do is make you go deaf.

Im just guessing but you probably dont have room for a big enough box to do two 15s in that small of a car unless you take the back seat out and build a wall which is very impractical since this is your daily car. I would just stick with what you were going to go with to begin with except tune the box to like 38 and im pretty sure you will be happy. Just like someone said above your charging system in the most important thing in hitting high numbers so dont neglect that. But im also guessing you havent heard a system legitamately do 150s, it is MUCH louder than you realize.

I have heard 2 systems that I considered loud. Now realize, the only real systems I have heard are at a local comp we had a few weeks back. Most of the people there were hitting in the mid 130s up to low 140's. Then this guy comes through with eight 12's, and he hit 151...the only one to hit over 150. Also, Marshall was running that and he hit(I think) 147, that was before he fiddled around with things. And yes, both of those were LOUD..honestly, there is one hell of a difference between 140db and 150db...I know its only 10db difference, but when you are listening to it....You can definately tell the the difference

2 Fi audio 15 or 18 BTLs fully loaded. get 2000kw plus on each one in a good ported box tuned to 40 hz. thats a good bet. but not a guarantee.
