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.

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

[03Tibby]

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

[BLU CIVIC]

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

[PaulD]

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.
