loudest car

[Jeppe]

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

[Jeppe]

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.

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.

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.
