post your specs and lets see who has the most "bling bling." can anybody beat this (not mine, but a friend's):
3 2000 W / 2 800 W Crossfire Amps powering 6 15" DDs in back, 4 10" subs between the middle seats, and 2 10" subs in the doors, all controlled by a pioneer cd/dvd player with a total of 3 screens.
isn't that some crazy shit? i know that's probably more than most of you all, but post your big power setup anyway, especially if you can rival this.

one of the loudest cars ever only had like 1 - 10" sub ..... it was the box that made it special

i got a panasonic deck 2 pair 5x7 boston accustic speakers a 200watt rf amp and a rf punchz 10

beat that sucka

its pretty easy to beat that setup, sorry..

yeah, my 2 15" audiobahns pushing 1200 watts do that easily

damn it was a joke dont be so uptight i know it is easily beat i was jokin
my computer stereo probally hits harder then my truck lol :bloated:

oh sorry i thought you were one of those people who think just because theyve got a brand name that theyre the best...my bad:smile: :biggrin2:

It's not always how many subs you have it's also got alot to do with enclosure size,interior volume of said vehicle,and tuning. the LOUDEST vehicle i have ever heard was a caprice classic wagon It consisted of 8 15" kicker solobarics this was the first year for the sqaure sub and had yet to be designated L5 or L7. For amps it had 8 kicker zr600's. On the meter it hit a 163.5 hence the S/N it was my first comp vehicle and to say the least in 2000 i crushed everything that moved in the tri-state area. IT was hella loud but Sound Qaulity was not factored in. the system you see in my signature hits 149.5-9 and has ok sound quality as for multiple scrns i don't play that shit one in the dash fuck the passengers!

nice setup

check this out

1 pos BOSS 3000d mono block amp max (more like 1500)
2 SPLW-15 3000w each max
1 Custom vented box that I built
1 Panasonic CQ-DF802U w/PS2 and flip down TV 5"


First place in super street 1-2 @ 153.0 db hell ya...

has anyone heard Audiobahn's? how are they ? particularly the 1.100W 12" model.

Here's what I got, but not too loud cuz I have no air space and a small box:

Audiobahn A2200HC Amp - 1600 watts RMS
Audiobahn 75 x 4 @ 4 ohms (for the highs)
Audiobahn 6 1/2 components
Audiobahn 6 x 8's
2 Memphis 10" HPO's

This sounds very similar to what mine will be when I finish everything, 4 audiobahn 5 1/4s though and 2 15" audiobahn subs

P.S. thanks for the amp, that is exactly what I am looking for, I think. nope one ohm stable... crap I'll have to go A2300HC

Yeah, the A2300HC is much better. How much do you plan on gettin that for? I can get it wholesale, so I can see if I can get better deal for you. Just let me know. Also, let me know about the 15".

Will I need a new battery/alternator, or cap for this amplifier?

Get the Audiobahn 1-farad cap. That's all I have.

check your PMs

I did, unless you sent another.

Pioneer Premier DEH-P750MP headunit
Infinity Kappa 6.5" components up front
Infinity Kappa 6.75" coax in back
US Acoustics 85x4 amp

and soon I'll be adding:
Elemental Designs 12A (12", 900rms power handling) sub in a 1^3 sealed enclosure
Avionixx 800.2 (800x1 @ 4ohms) amp

-i gotta 1999 model alpine head unit
-2 amps
-alpine(mrv-f405) v12 expert series
-powers a pair of 6x6" kenwood exelon speakers
-pioneer(mosfet 2-channel) 800W max
-powers my 2 15" kickers

*nuttin really special but owell

alpine type-r componets, alpine amp

4 alpine type-r 15's with an ma audio 4000watt amp

and an eclipse deck!

We have a kid at our school that had one 12" solobaric square sub, and with only that and factory speakers he got 147. somthing decibels, then another kid has a 12 inch alpine, not sure what it is, and then two other 10s and he measure 149, i think he had upgraded 6 by 9's not that they made too much difference though. And wasn't the record broken just not too long ago with the new 18 inch solobarics, one of my friends said it broke the record by having 10 of them and it was broken by one tenth of a decibel.

the loudest was the kicker BEAST with 175.3 db's but someone hit 179.2 db's i forgot who thow
my pirsonal goal is 230 db before i get to be 45 y.o.
go ahead and make fun of me but you will hear about me breaking several records:ylsuper:

You'll never, or better yet, no one will ever surpass 230 db's with car audio, a shuttle on take off is only 180 db's, and that's fucking loud. If you were to maybe build a 6 ft subwoofer that could handle about a billion watts, but I'd like to see you power that. I'm not sure I'm correct on this, but with one decibel higher it's twice the sound, so 179 db's would be twice as loud as 178 or something like that.

loudest is Team BS using 16 Treo CSX with 64 Directed 1100D hitting 177.7db on the B7K mic, considered the most accurate mic available today. each sub is getting about 4400 watts, which the sub has more potential.

every 10dB is twice as loud, and every 3dB takes twice as much power to make

how about 2 13.5" JLAUDIO W7's with a 1000/1 going to each in a custom painted fiberglass enclosure? yeah, i think that would beat it

i've gotta 125w amp and 6" roadmaster bass tube......seriously :tongue:

I think the dB record stands at just over 180 .... and that's gonna be about it, at least with modern speakers. A guy tried making a 6' woofer, he put it in a truck like a UPS truck .... he had some technical difficulties. One of the problems of high volume is preventing the body of the vehicle from flexing - body flexing absorbs audible energy.

3 Audiobahn Linear Compression 15's with 3 1200W amps. Optima battery and 2 Audiobahn full caps.

How about 2 immortal audiobahn 15"s with 3 amps totaling over 4000 watts.

i kno this is incredibly late but i was jus readin thru this forum n i saw these guys talkin bout how loud these cars get or w/e. n one guy sed he wanted to get up to 230 db. the loudest sound possible is 195 db. jus thot id fill these guys in.

The loudest vehicle i've been in was owned by an older lady. Alma Gates.

[QUOTE=alphalanos]its pretty easy to beat that setup, sorry..
I got that beat with two twelve inch Alpine type R's and a RockfordFosgate 851.

so why is that?
if you could explain

That's the highest sound pressure that our atmosphere will support. If you went to another planet with a denser atmosphere or you were in a hyperbolic chamber then you could go higher, but here on Earth that's the loudest possible.

well audiobahn in my opinion is crap, but some people on here think that it is a good starter brand, which i disagree on. they are made for one reason to get loud, they subs are made for only spl, their sq line is laughable, and their amps are big peices of crap.....conclusion much better for the money......

p.s. audiobahn spends a hell of alot on advertising so thats why you always see them in car audio mags, and lowrider mags, etc.... just becuase they have more ads doesn't make them good

Here's what i got i have all infinity kappa mid including 8" all range kappas in the kicker panels. For my subs I have 2 audiobahn immortals in custom 38hz box tunned for sound quality yet spl. The amps are JBL crown class d's. I eventually will change all subs to JBL gti subs. At this point right now i am in the 157.3db range but still clean.

The world record in spl is 177.8 set by troy irving and the loudest single sub competition was set by pioneer at 170.5 by a pioneer spl 5000 sub.

Dude this thread is 3 years old, please dont bring up old threads. Better yet how in the hell do you guy find threads this old.

By the way imortal vs and MT mt would crush it. And i dont think you should consider company car winners maybe in there own class but put these guys that dont get funding up againt each other and it mor intersting. Its easy to make numbers when you get everything for free.

I HAD a 15" Alpine Type-R running about 550w with my Alpine V-12 Class d amp, but some freaking reject stole my sub :banghead: . The fiberglass box I made for it speaks for itself.

The loudest vehicle i've been in was owned by an older lady. Alma Gates.

not trying to be an ass but I call bs on this.... I have met alma gates at the last db drag in detroit. she is curently sponsored by kicker but she said she was debating about trying a new company....

non the less in my cherokee I have 4 15" kicker CVX 2000w subs, 4 2200d planet audio class d amps pushing them, a 4004d 4 channel amp for the kicker door speakers, and a panasonic dvd player. my cavalier, 2 15" SPL extreme subs 2,800w each, 2 3,000w kole audio class d amps, a 1,440w 4 channel powering 2 sets of type r 6x9's amd 2 sets of toye r components in the doors powered by a alpine 9881 deck.

Did neither of you read what i said dont bring up old threads. Half the people that posted in this either havent posted in a long time or just posted a few.

ok and it was at the top so I posted...

ok and it was at the top so I posted...

it's cool...better than starting a new thread

they find them by using the search function

Dang go into the blazer and accord forum no one uses the search button.

I was just telling you how they find them. I am sure new people come on here everyday searching for answers to stuff, and most are interested in SPL

paul is right
Scott Owens broke the all time db record with 180db the equivalent to a ton of tnt exploding 15 foot away(loud as crap)
he is sponsored by pioneer and he used 12 premier 12's and 54 amps and a ship load of kinetic batteries
that is the loudest score in DB DRAG
in bass race
Tommy Mckennie using 24 re se 12's and 12 incriminator audio 20.1's and alot of power master batteries
broke a 158 at 40 hz(or i think that is what it was)
and those are the world records in sound
and to what ever idiot said his goal was 230 db i must inform you that cannot be done on this planet!!!!
peace

adam what about alan dante ... 180s this year with 2 subs in extreme 1-2

i forgot about mr dante, scotts on the back cover of all the C&A magazines and i just looked at one and alan slipped my mind... he did that at finals last year didn't he? or did that just happen recently?

he broke 180 this season. And was really close at finals i belive.

that's the problem with the upper levels of competitions ...... most of the winners are pushing the limits of their category/class already. You can do alright at local contests with a decent setup, but you are never gonna be really competitive at the national level ones unless you have all the right stuff and have optimized your setup.

corrected :wink:

Oooo, well lets see, I have some Infinity 6X9's in the rear..........EVERYTHING else has been stolen. :frown:

that sucks bro i had one of my set ups stolen too. and as far as db drag ya its really had to be able to be competitive... thats why bassrace is so much fun :D

Oooo, well lets see, I have some Infinity 6X9's in the rear..........EVERYTHING else has been stolen. :frown:


they can't steal whats security screwd in.

oh yes they can.

they can .... just makes it a little more difficult - especially when the alarm is going off.

i hit ~142's with one 15" in the TRUNK of a sedan legal on a TL.. I'm doin my big 3 right now though and trying to get/keep my volts up, shooting for high 140's with new box and amp sometime this summer.

ah... I dont really have anything special... YET... but I think i disagree with everyone that thinks that the loudness comes all from the bass.. volume is volume... so what is in everyones highs and mids...?

jeppe that is a nice score!
and 90 T/A
most of the big dogs mids and highs are insane i think the king of bass has 12 6 1/2's in each door and a crap load of tweets

my highs keep up with the bass, i dont keep the sub full tilt all the time, i have a soundstream pca2.260 i broke sitting waiting to get sent in to warranty, that should double the output once i get it back.

My old setup hit 138db on the TL, 2-12" polk exII's, a profile ca400m in a sealed enclosure. My 15 is just as loud, and i have another ready to go in.

Alot of the bass vehicles dont have any mids and highs.

ah... I dont really have anything special... YET... but I think i disagree with everyone that thinks that the loudness comes all from the bass.. volume is volume... so what is in everyones highs and mids...?


Subwoofers are almost always way louder than the rest of the system speakers ... the only real exception is HLCD's (horns). It's just very difficult to make tweeters play much above 120-130 dB. I do agree with you however that the sub region is just a small portion of the audio spectrum.

I need to make door pods for my 6.5 comps. There is no way in hell to fit them in the dash. I used to have a set of mb quart 5.25's but they went in my girls car after my truck broke down.

i had to cut my doors down to fit 6.5's, my car had 4x6's originally. it was just a plastic piece though was pretty simple. again i have sub volume controls on my EQ so its VERY easy to blend the sub into the highs, kill the sub, or wang the sh_t out of it. i compete locally so what good are loud ass highs and a weak/moderate substage.

All the idiots around here are bass heads. They will leave stock speakers everywhere and put usually a set of a-bombs or some other flea market crap in there vehicle and act like its the shit.

I love my eq +/- 6db on the sub channel and either 80/120hz on the sub channel filter.

they can .... just makes it a little more difficult - especially when the alarm is going off.

Indeed. But unfotunately my car was at a performance shop where they left my car outside with the doors unlocked and the alarm unarmed so they could help themselves to ripping my door panels, and taking whatever they wanted.

then it's on THEM or teir insurance
