Re: how loud contest
Never entered an SPL competition, I don't have the right installation to be real competitive in them. From what I've heard from other people with the same sub in the same box, I should be hitting low 140's if I'm lucky.
I've been thinking of going to one of the audio stores around here and getting it metered, but I haven't yet

Re: how loud contest
Not at the moment. I am buying a ed15a.22 and putting it in a ported box and going to push around 1000 watts to it. That will be loud, but I am going for SQ. I had 2 15" audiobahns in a sealed box doing 600 watts each.

Re: how loud contest
those radioshacks meters are good for up to 130db or so. after that, it gets rediculously inaccurate. typical meters (like AC, termpro, etc) will cost well beyond $500. my friend, RangerMan, on caraudio.com spent about $500 for his meter. its like the linearx, but with about .5db in variation.
loudest i ever got was 151.x with a single 15" RE SE d4 powered by 2 strapped DEI 1100d (2400x1@2ohm).that was on the termpro mic. tougher than the AC mics.

Re: how loud contest
yup. 151.x db. can't remember the specific decibel, but it is in the 151's. the thresold of pain is 120db. 160 would deafen u in matter of seconds, especially at higher frequencies. now 140db of ~3000hz would kill your ears instantly. lol
