  • Show me your SPL 's. How many dB have you hit?

    Be sure to mention weither it was legal or outlaw style and what the basics of the setup were

    I hit 137.2dB w/ 2 AudioBahn AW1200 12" subs and an 800.4 orion amp. The subs are dual 4ohm voice coils wired in a 2ohm load. The amp is a 4x100w and was setup in stereo. The first two channels power the 4 6.5 boston acustic's in each corner. The sencond pair of channels are wired in stereo to the subs. Each sub is pulling about 200W in this configuration. My origional intention was to bridge the 4 ch down to 2 and run about 800w (in a perfect world but not w/ an A+B amp maybe a D class) to each sub but this setup is already too loud for me. One of these days I'll hook it up right and hit up a comp or two when I get some free time :D

    So what else is out there?

    PS SPL is related to subs (including boxes), amps and a car's resonant frequency (which is the same for us), so keep it relavent. I don't think it's important what wire you paid too much for or that all your connectors are 24k gold plated.

    So lets see what pressure level everyone has hit.

    145.4db
    --- 3 10" Rockford Fosgate HX2's (sealed box)
    --- Rockford Fosgate bd1000a1
    --- A pair of comp. and coaxils and a RF 800a4
    --- 2 farad Cap
    --- Yellow top Optima
    That sums it up. I plan on re-doing most of it, so the subs and bd1000a1 will be for sale soon. MAJOR mods to come. Hope to be in the 150's.

              How'd you have that amp wired up? From my recolection, it's a 75x2 amp and that speaker is a 4ohm single coil. That means eaither 75W pushing one speaker or 300W. Correct me if I'm wrong but I could have sworn the 8ohm version was like a 5000 or something like that.

                        It's ran at 4 ohms single coil, the amp is running something like 475 watts to that one speaker

                            Then how did you compete in 0-150W class?

                            &gt;&gt;&gt;

                            Steve, just call around to audio shops closest to you and eventually you'll find one. Alot of shops have them, but keep it on the down low just so they don't get every numb nut w/ a walmart special coming in wanting to get it metered.

                            &gt;&gt;&gt;

                            96firebird311, are those the power HX2's? How do you have it wired up (that is, what impediance)?

                              The factory rating is 75x2 which equals 150 watts, aka cheater amp.
