what kind of SPL can I expect with:

1 brahma II 15" sub
1 Cadence ZRS-8 or 9 (1500-2000 watts RMS)
going in a small car (old Honda CRX)

in a sealed box, maybe 135dB
in a ported box tuned to 30hz maybe 142dB
in a ported box tuned to 50hz maybe 150dB

for some reason I was thinking a little higher ..... I wanna try and squeeze at least 140 out of a sealed box.

Well scores used to be higher, but the TL is a pretty tight mic, a good 5+ dB below the AC in many cases.

Impossible to say

... too many variables.

yea, I guess I had forgotten they had gone to pressure sensors VS mics that are also velocity sensitive.
