140.3dB

whoohoo..there was a local competition near where i live. it costed $30 bucks to enter:mad: anyways, my mom drove me there with the van where i have the pioneers at. seeing i was a kid, many people under-estimated me:) it was like "i bet that kid can't even hit 120's" or "is this some kind of a joke?" it was my turn to compete. they put the mic on the dash where its suppose to be:p first time i screwed up cuz the amp gain was set all the way to low. i forgot to tune it before i burped it. after i set me gains, i laid a consistant 139-140dB. my peak was 140.3dB. it was fun seeing those guys drop their jaws. here's a run down on my system, well part of it:

clarion headunit-free from neighbor
(2) pioneer 10" TS-W254C- friend bought it for $49.95 each
(1) Profile 600MSX- $129.99 (just bought it last week)
(6) stock speakers


the van played a big role in this. without it, i would have hit in the mid 30's. anyways, i'm happy with the score. oh yea, this amp pushes a mere 400x1watts RMS at 2ohm

whats up man i had 2 ma audio 12's in my trunk 1000 watts each wit a 1300 watt amp (ma audio too) i hit 144.3db at a compition but that was with the bass cd, with a music cd i hit 148.2db...........they stole my system so right now i am looking at the audiobahn aw1208x subs............i wanna hit 150 and up

141.2dB w/ two 10" Jensen subs in a bandpass box and a Jensen 500 watt amp... in a TRUNK mounted system... take that tough guy! But, good I guess... cant wait to get my shit metered, soon as I fix my brakes, finish dynamatting it and get my new carpet in baby! Oh yeah and clean the battery acid outta the wheel well... whoops, who ever thought batteries were so deadly! lol :finger:

where do you guys normally get metered? only at comps or what? are there cheap meters out for consumer purchase?

Nope, no cheap meters in the publics hands... local competitions, and shops that hold the competitions are about the only places to get metered less you happen to have your own $3000 setup in your garage like Alma Gates does :flipa:

u got bandbass and 500 watts. i only got 400watts in a ported box tuned at 30hz so ha!:finger: :flipa:

j/k. hopefully i'll get more subs and hit in the mid 40's.

My old manager had a probe with 4 12s in the high 140s.

He told me my old beetle was probably in the low 140s, but i never had it metered. I have an enclosure where the backseat was supposed to be. Maybe ill post pics sometime

Actualy there is somting you can get that will tell you your SPL in car.
Its called a AudioControl epic 150
EPIC 150 info (http://www.audiocontrol.com/news/Epic150_11-00.htm)
its an indash bass processor that also has a bilt in microphone to mesure your SPL in real time.

I have one just need to get it installed.

my friend bought it at best buy. shhhh!!! i know its not the greatest place:D

...and I never said there wasn't units available to the public, I just said CHEAP units. My opinion is that this is the biggest waste of $300 you could possibly make... it only measures upto 150dB... ok, great thats fantastic -- anyone hitting under 150dB shouldnt care enough to buy something like this unit as they are just "on the weekends" kind of competitors... which, you can just wait till the next local show to get your results. if you want to know what you hit, goto your local shop with a meter and spend $10:D
