Written by Adam Rayner Monday, 03 August 2009 I write with every hair and nearly every portion of erectile tissue on my body tingling. (I'm not quite that bad.) For a not-dared-to-be-believed fantasy has come true! Talk Audio, In association with Future Publishing's Fast Car Magazine have established and set a whole entire New Guinness World RecordTM! In a scene of multiple car audio competition formats, where Sound Pressure Levels reach 180dB and physics-laboratory-calibrated microphones and sensors are used, there has never been a truly rigorous scientific way of comparing one organisation's World Records with another's. Also, they have many categories. So, whilst it might seem logical and realistic to have "The World's Loudest Car Stereo" records in the fabled Guinness book, it has never happened. Guinness World RecordsTM' reputation for scientific veracity is absolutely unassailable, so getting a record ratified needs some pretty stringent recording and independent witnessing. For a decade, I have been occasionally gathering up all the loudest cars and vans in the UK and measuring them with, frankly, an Earthquake meter for hysterically funny magazine features under the title "F*** SPL, Gimme Richter!" This most recent time, we had the scientists from a Seismic consultancy called Vibrock and Anglia news TV and some who came just to witness the event. (And eat Pork Pies from a famous Wigan Butcher's thanks to K&M Acoustics.) Afterwards, the lovely folks at Future presented my case and extensive support material to the Guinness World RecordsTM organisation with a view to it being accepted as a new record. It took some time but here is the brief but absolutely joyous text entry that Talk Audio & Fast Car get in the next edition of the Hallowed Book. "Largest Seismic Earthquake Caused By Car Stereos" The largest seismic earthquake caused by car stereos was caused by 22 cars which made the ground vibrate with a velocity of 6.325 mm/s. The event was organized by Fast Car Magazine and www.talkaudio.co.uk (all UK) at the Santa Pod Raceway, Northampton, UK, on 22 October 2008. It didn't mention the equivalent of 300kg of explosives at 500m as possibly that'd mean defining the explosive but WE HAVE OUR RECORD! I truly feel that anyone who was there in one of those 22 cars deserves to have the event commemorated. We don't have the funds but we do have the time to organise and administer it, so how about designing and commissioning an embroidered patch? We can't use the Guinness logo without paying a licence fee so it'll have to be something like "Talk Audio & Fast Car magazines World Seismic Record Setter" in a circle and a ‘quake image in the middle, maybe the ground cracking? Whaddaya reckon? Along with the 33Hz thing, I really feel a mark has been made there. We may beat it one day but you guys were FIRST! I'm so proud of you all.

right on, hank.....so you built the van too, right?......... remember meeting pork chop?.......... not sure i seen you at the last sound off. i dominated the hot dog eating contest, lmao...

hey, do you have a build log or anything, i would like to check it out......

welcome,

welcome.................likes the enclosure,,,,,,,

wow

right on, there are some local guys that can upgrade my current alt so it is a little stronger, for cheap, then i am thiking of having dual batteries up front, plenty of room and dual in the rear, not huge ones but decent ones....

ha ha ha ^^^ he said " suck but fuck" lmao, that is probably what is wrong with him....rofl..... mdizzle! no more suck or butt fuck for you, doctors orders, you pucking whore.....lmao Chop IAK

no camera thingy cord yet.... here is a pic of the box i drafted up when i was trying to learn how to use google sketch .

uh the sub, might be worse than him.....no worky.....

so are u with SC, i am not sure i know u by screen name, i know a couple of guys up there, like RP, loddie, cooper, ... maybe a couple of others....that is where i heard the selinniums at before.

he gots some kind of stone in his kidney, guess it is real painfull sh*t.

i meant fabrication section, .....

hey five, take a look at this box in the 'enclosures section' , have you done anything like this or now who would want to weigh in on it? thanks Chop

hey one of our bro's on here is a sick boy, so i figured i would post a get well post for him. if that is not enough, his xcon is out of commision also. hope sh*t gets better for you soon bud. Chop IAK

lot's of work going on there...... like where it is going.

something like this, what do you guys think? sorry, suck at art class.

Pro Alpha >>> Beta but it will let you screw up a bunch more. Not sure if it will be understandable although I find it uber easy to use. boy, i tell you , this stuff is insane all at once, i'll give her a look, i guess i got a design all up in my head and am not ready for that complex of an install yet, hell all i know is i think it looks cool.... that bcae1.com, wow, i got to go find some finacail aid before i can read some of it. No matter what modeling program you use do NOT just hit go and accept the box. The real trick comes to understanding how it responds to your room and such, which is far from trivial in particular when your room is a car. i am wanting to be done early spring, i will shop and study till then.....i want to feel as if when i do build this first box, it will be very close to optimal for my taste and expectations..... in a few days i will let you see what i am working on, just for your input, ....if that is cool.

lets do 24" tall......that floor area is funky, i need to gut it and install a level sub floor. 53" wide..... easy enough, with a little room on either side (inches). 18" deep....... this lets the seats be relaxed back to a comfy ride. 24" X 53" X 18" will be a good starting point.....i might get rid of a couple of inches in heigth, trying to stay even with the window line. not for comp but more for just looks. 24x53x18=22896/1728=13.25 cubes! so yeah loosing a couple of inches in the heigth will be fine. so i really was wanting to do sub up, port to the side, but maybe the first box could be sub up, port up , sub on passenger side, port on drivers. , but with the other style with the areos firing externally to the side into a loading chamber, you got any input on that style? thanks chop.

man i am all over that..... first thing is to get their a** straight on specs and info on their sight.... i am still on it.
