Posted January 29, 201114 yr 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: headrestMusic: not metered, guessing ~140-142Tones: 40hz, 143dbI'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.

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).

Not needed...per, or total?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
