this is a thread for those of you who have had their sytems tested and know the decibels they produced and what components make up your system. (ok that sentence sucked) but any way since i started it i guess ill post mine first:

Sony eXplode CDX7000X head unit
Sony eXplode 6.5's 3 ways all around
Directed 250D amp
2 Audiobahn AWC12's
148.6 db as tested at Sound Drag Nat's In Atlanta 2001 with a Lanzar Vibe 240 amp (for sale if interested)
150.3 db as tested at the same event with Directed 250D

Well thats the benchmark, i'll be surprised if someone beats that, so surprise me ( no bull sh*t numbers please)

 

Impressive!
I think Chad hit about 143 in his 4th gen with a pair of Alumapro 12s.. XTant amps I think.

My personal best was only 134.8dB at IASCA finals last year... using 3JL audio 10w6s in a 2.7cu ft sealed box powered by a PPI A600.2 amp in 4ohm mono.(600 watts)

the system in the new max should easily kill that one though. going to 4 Focal 12s powered by a PPI A1200.2. 1200w mono


for the restofthe system, I've got a Premier DEX-P1R running Focal 165KS 6.5" components. PPI A404.2 at 200x2 running the mids, and a PPI A200.2 at 50x2 running the tweets.

it's all old school stuff (except the subs), but it's going to kick some *** if I ever get around to installing it all.

 

was in my 98 Eclipse GSX. 3 RF XLC 10" subs powered by a Memphis 1000d amp. Hit 143.3

Components were Diamond Audio Hex.

My previous setup in the Max (94 GXE) was the same 3 XLC 10s with a RF bd1000 amp. 144.1

My current setup hs not been tested but I will let you know what I have.

Head: Pioneer DEH-7300 (I did have a Kenwood but no longer )
Front: Diamond Audio S600 Components
Rear: Diamond Audio S600 Components
Subs: 3 Diamond Audio MacDaddy 10.8 subs (10 inch, 8 ohm)
wired parallel
Amps: Mids (component sets) powered by RF Power 800.4
Tweets (component sets) powered by RF 600.4
Subs powered by RF bd1500.1

 

I never tested my system but a friend of mine who has a CRX and only 2 10's powered by an Alpine V12 amp( not sure how many watts)...and he hit 142dB with only the two subs.
I thought that was pretty impresive...I am going to test my system in about 2 weeks.

 

where do i go to get mine tested??? i think i can get some decent numbers if i test mine

 

most auto sound installers that install comp equipment usually have the equipment to test your system. lata

 

You can go to a sound comp and enter for $10. I am sure some local stores have sound meters too.

 

I have a friend who hit 142.3 with only 1 Eclipse Aluminum Cone 12.

 

i dunno how loud mine is.. but i know its way louder than i need. In fact I'm going to make myself deaf if I'm not careful.

I almost collided with a police car a few days ago, I was entering an intersection and so was he, with his lights & siren on, I didn't hear him. Luckily he saw me and slowed down.. after a second I saw him and let him go .. but damn

 

My shops car did a 171.1 at finals last year. With 4 orion hcca 15"s 8 amps 2 alts and 16 batteries. The hole car was rebuilt with steel.

 

i read that this one bronco completely rebuilt had hit 185 db using kicker L7's and kicker amps. thats freakin nuts

 

Thats Alma's Bronco, but thats in the port not at the window at the windo it does around 165

I am looking at 2 12" Audiobahn subs (not sure of model) they're silver and in a silver box both for only $300! 800 watts RMS (combined) I think thats a pretty good deal. How manyw atts are yours?

You do relize that just cuz they scored that in your car that does not nessacarly mean they will be that loud in another car. The amount of air space to compress in a car varys with the size of the car

 

That's exactly what I was about to say. Alma of Team Gates.

 

Mine hit 147db
Premier DEHP900R head unit
RF FNQ Mids/Tweeets
Kenwood KFC6969 Rear
bd500 (2 of them, one for front mids/highs, deck runs rears, the other for the three subs)
3-10"Fosgate HE2 (8 ohm)
Sealed Box

 

i dont have my Decibel Rating yet, but i got 2 12" Eclipse Aluminum DVCs powered by a 2000model RF 1000a2. im goin to get my components looked at wednesday, so i'll see if i can get the SPL tested there.

 

i hit a 137.4 at the sound off for the Simply Imports Custom Car Show at the Rt. 18 Flea Market last weekend. But it was in a ****ty car, with ****ty amp, only 2 JL 12" W3's, , gonna get something bigger and better soon.

 

well correct me if im wrong but doesn't everyone (or at least 99% of the people that come to this site) own a maxima? i know it may not be the same model but still, in either case its still a maxima. lata

 

how many RMS are your subs handling?

PJ

 

for my lanzar it was 600w into 2 channels at 2 ohms

for my directed its about the same only at .86 ohms

by the way, my lanzar is for sale if anyone is interesed.
