Vehicle - Equipment - dB results

[ssh 924]

Firstly, don't tell me just because someone in their honda civic can hit 150db, that I can too in mine. I understand the differences between installation and burping vs music.

I just want to see what people have been able to pull off in their vehicles.

Also state if vehicle was walled.

I'll start:

Vehicle: 1997 Jeep Wrangler (2door, hardtop).

Equipment: DC 270xp alt, saz1500d, Fi BL 18" (33hz tuned enclosure).

Meter placement: headrest

Music: not metered, guessing ~140-142

Tones: 40hz, 143db

I'm about to get a new vehicle and would like something sporty to drive, so space will be a restraint, but I'm curious to see what others have been able to do in their vehicles.

yeah that's a good score for that amount of power, cone area, and being a trunk

I'll be curious to see the results after you got the xcons in. Have you decided what amp you'll be using?

I'm using an IA 40.1, I just need to save up to get a DC power alt so I can power it properly lol. They've actually been in for a while I just don't have a meter, I'm probably hitting somewhere in the upper 140's though (pretty hard to judge though).

sweet, how much power does the IA 40.1 make on the sub channel (or it's a monoblock one channel?)?

It's a monoblock rated at 3600 Wrms @12v, and people say it to do anywhere between 4-5K on 14.4 volts. Oh, and it looks bad ass lol.

I believe that is total. So a whooping 18.75watts per driver before rise in impedance due to heat.

Perfect case of "you don't need thousands of watts to get loud" but it helps
