Loudest Db rating in 6gc?, What have you hit? Options

[Andason]

Im just wondering what some of you people hit in your Celica's and with what kinda stereo.

[Inferno]

Matt claimed a pretty high rating. I don't remember what it was though. We'll just have to wait for him. His system sounded pretty nice though.

[Guest_Matthew_*]

yesterday i went to a comp in my eclipse and with one W7 hit 158.2

last year in the celica i hit 168.9

that was with 2 W7's and two planet audio 2250 amps.

needless to say i won.

[Andason]

So theoretically I could hit the exact same DB level with exactly the same setup? Let me know prices and what not.

[chucho]

I havent been rated yet but my two SL7s hit harder than my co-workers 2 SL5s and he hit 150.2 so we're thinking 155 but i also have a lot better setup and when i get an amp for my 8" midbasses that will help too. NEbody know where i can get a bigger alt.?

[FallenHero]

Just get two big fat lightening caps.

Also, I can make my CD skip, does that count for anything

[3TST]

Don't know what my dB rating is yet...but I can only turn my volume up to about half way on the radio/CD before I'm blowing my eardrums out.
... and I've still got room for improvement as I'm not using the full RMS power of my speakers.

2 Oxygen Sphere 6's front doors (140W RMS)
2 Oxygen Sphere 165's middle panels (150W RMS)
2 Sony Xplod Subs rear parcel shelf (600W each - RMS?)
2 Sony Xplod X444 amps (4x100, 2x222 - RMS?)
Sony Xplod MP70 head unit.

Anyone know what the max. dB rating is before blowing/smashing windows?

[doGGy]

Then i had my Corolla with Soundstream SPL component speaker in the doors, 2 soundstream MULE SPL subs in my trunk and 2 Soundstream 1002 amp's i hited 158.4 dB rating. It was the best result in whole my life... And then some motherf*** hited my window and got away with everything i had... From now - NO AMP'S NO SUB'S FOREVER!!! Oh, maybe some day...

[x_itchy_b_x]

yes you COULD hit the same with the same setup


it all depends out the voltage that your car is putting out, the battery, wire, preamp voltage, etc.

i have an optima yellow top battery

it was a Panasonic CQ-VAD9300U
1/0 Monster Cable wire and same size ground
Monster Cable RCA cords

they were like

59 bucks for 17ft.

the deck put out 4 volts to the amp

loads of dynamat


etc. etc.

for pricing you can get W7's on ebay for 399 plus shipping...they say factory warranty but those places are never factory authorized to sell that stuff...they normally buy in bulk then sell them.

the box was 200 bucks (had to be custom made)
the wiring for speaker, power and ground was like 100 bucks
the caps were 80 bucks a piece had two of them

so it wont be cheap
but if you win contests then you get the money back

thats if you win.

[chucho]

I thought that the yellow top should b used as a second battery. I have both the red and yellow, red in my car right now and i'll hookup the yellow later as a second battery later.

I need a 3rd amp for my midbass 8s in my doors.

[Guest_Matthew_*]

i actually have my battery relocated to the trunk is this plastic waterproof case that i got from walmart

i use the yellow top for the main car battery

[mywhite94celicag...]

i hit 131 Db with 2 12 w3's, and one JL 500/1 amp

[Andason]

Anyone with Alpine stuff willing to share. I used to have a Pioneer Amp and 2 type S's and hit 129.6 with the back seat still in, I wish I would of taken that out before I rated it.

[sapperk]

I GOT:

2 150wt kenwood tweeters
4 180wt 6 1/2" mids
2 180wt 4 1/2" mids
4 1000wt 12" MTX 8000 Subs

Panasonic Deck

1 Kenwood 280wt AMP
1 Alpine V12 1500wt AMP

I dont know what the hell it is rated at but I just took out 2 of the 12's because It was totally over powering my mids. I couldnt even get my deck past volume 10 and it goes to 50.

Any ideas on what to do with my MIDS and HIGHS so i can put the other 2 12's in.

[chucho]

Alright, i went to my 1st comp. tonight, i did well. I won 1st in my division and had a 159.4 for my SPL. I only went through 1 run, everyone else went through 2 or 3, and had the 5th highest at the comp. 165.8 was the highest, except for the fact that one car was there that would have smoked everyone but didn't enter, it had 6 15" subs and it was tight. but 159.4 was my score, had the gain cranked up half way so i probably could have broke 160 but didn't feel like paying the extra money to have another run. Now i just need those 8" speakers hooked up to another amp and more highs.

[Andason]

What are you running chucho

[chucho]

I have two 10" SL7s, 2 KX600.1 amps. I had the gain half-way up, i was in the novice 501-100watt class, novice 'cause it was my first time. I think that when i add another amp to push my 8" kickers in the doors that should help a little bit.

Everything i have
2 10"SL7s
2 KX600.1
2 individual venter boxes
Xplod HU MX630-i think
4" pionner
6 1/2 premier pioneer
Running 0 gauge off a red top battery to a dist. block then running 4 awg to the subs.

I only did one run and this was my first time doing it so maybe the litte experience will help out and i'll tweak my settings next time.

[Guest_Matthew_*]

i used to have two of the 12 inch L7s the first week that they were out and it was to a 1000 watt clarion class d amp and it was pretty damn loud.

[TigerWoodsJr]

where are you guys putting the mic anyway? Some of these scores seem a little BS. I hit 155's with my celica on the dash...but if you move the mic around to different spots.

Chucho, 159 with 2 10's and not that much power, I call bull****.
GT2GT4 , do you have anything to back that up...I haven't seen any impressive scores out of the W7's for the most part.

So where did you guys have the mics?

[chucho]

[TigerWoodsJr]

[TigerWoodsJr]

Link to a 154.1 by me, Garret Swazey in Stock 2

I don't think my 155 is posted anywhere online, but im looking.

Then if you want to go with outlaw scores im down for that 2.

165.1...looks like my 6g celica to me

2001 Highest Class 1 score in SPLME History
2001 2 time SPLME state champ Class 1/Class 2
2001 3rd Place Massachusetts IDBL State Championship, STK 161-260
2001 runner-up USAC Maine State Championship STK 601+
2001 Maine State DB Drag Champ Super Street 1+2 nw
2001 3rd Place USAC Northeast Nationals Stock 601+
2002 3rd Place Spring Break Nationals Stock 301-600

Those are just some of the larger comps, I have many many wins.

[TigerWoodsJr]

O yeah, and im well aware what vented boxs are, I run a 8 cubic foot box with 150 sq inches of port.

Higher frequencies don't have higher pressure, it is however easier to produce a higher frequency. I hit most of my scores at 67hz for that reason.

[Phr0z3n664]

I hit a 150.1 in the very front of the car, and I had the seats up in the back, so I'm not sure how much sound is coming from the hatch, anyways Do not ever go to a Car Audio Connection competition, they like to use their company cars in the competition. I was beat by their protege project by 150.2 Db, and same throughout all classes, company cars won...

I still bon't know why they didn't mike the subs, cuz that's what they do in most comps, in this one they did it in the lowest part of the front of the car

results not listed yet but here's the link for future reference. I'm Lester, but i don't feel like trying to argue, its not worth it. When i get my pics of my boxes up I'll let you see it, ight.

[funnyboy117]

I wish I had someone else with some beat around here to compare mine too, but it hits as loud as I ever need it to:

2 12" L7 Kicker Solobaric subs in a custom box
2 MTX 1501D mono-block amps @ 1500 watts each

Anyone have any idea how much that'll reach?

[celicarocker]

[Clipsetuner]

I dont know but 2 12" Kicker comps in Dual Chamber Box, 1 12" Kicker Comp in a Single Chamber, and 2 12" MTX thunder 4500's. The kickers running 280RMS, and The MTX at 200rms. I made raddles. I would say 140-155 Range, with the windows Up the Sound preesure would hurt your ears. I threw together the whole system for under 300$ just proving you dont gotta break your pocket.
DTE

[dstrbcelica]

i don't about in the celica, but when i had my dakota, i had 4 kicker comp vr's, two sony 1000 watt class d's, kenwood 150x2 for my components(sp?) and "the cap" a 500 farad cap...and i hit 169.00

[CelicaDEATHdie]

[Clipsetuner]

Not so Much Ghetto, but keep'n it cheap and REAL, not everyone can throw together a high dollar system, For 16 and Having the loudest system out of anyone for the cheapest is cool.

[van95st]

[Drocay]

.500 probly

[CelicaDEATHdie]

[Clipsetuner]

It sounded great, Mixing subs is always a Good Idea because there is no one sub on the market that can hit every note. The Kickers could slam the lows, while the Mtx would hit most of the highs. I was running Prefabbed Box's, Crappy Amps and Still had the loudest system out of anyone.
DTE

[Phat_99CeliGT]

i hit a 130 with a single 12" Cadence UD-12 and a Cadence Z-1000 amp.
im not too into the dB drags, it was free at a car show.

i don't even know if that was good or not

[afroman]

i hit 138.1 with one 10 inch kicker comp in an obcon ported box. it was loud. not omg loud but loud.
-Aaron-

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

With my setup i would guess i could get pretty high dB ratings....like maybe 140-ish, but i built my system more for getting great sound quality and no distortion at all.

[CelicaDEATHdie]

[Clipsetuner]

Haha, Just cause you got money, and were able to invest in your system doesnt mean anyone can. Example With only 300$ I built my friend a Loud as$ system. Alpine Fully Motorized Deck 60$, MTX Tunder 280rms Amp ( 50$ ), For 2 10" Dual Vocie JBLs in a Bandpass Plexi Box ( 80$ ), then a Fanzar or some no name brand amp at 600rms ( Free ), pushing 2 12" Kicker Comps in a Dual Chamber Sealed Box ( 80$ ). At the car show he pulled 155 DB's. I can Hear Him over 1 mile away. He had to add a Second Battrey to support all the power. All this In a 1983 Blazer.

[CelicaDEATHdie]

finally some support on this subject.

[celimanST]

We not agree on the whole kicker issue but this is a different story

[Clipsetuner]

well once I get my camrea back or his is working, Ill show you all pic's, Microphone was on the dash. It also has alot to do with the vechile also is what he was Told. Its a 1983 K5 blazer, and the Top add's volume. You all might think im full of BS but we just keep our systems cheap but also good.

[3TST]

Can someone show me a picture of what vented boxes look like.
Thanks

[celimanST]

anything is possible

William

[snadman]

Pioneer DEH2000 head unit...the upgraded sound system which was a dealer option...so it had the facotory amp...i dunno i think that would hit about 5 more thna stock lol.

[subsolo_21]

I hit 148.7 w/ my 2 12's, but I've changed my setup some now so I should hit 150+. This summer i'll have a custom ported box and maybe a new amp and headunit, so my goal is to be 155-160dB.

[CelicaDEATHdie]

[subsolo_21]

I have 2 Kicker SoloBaric L7's and believe me they hit. They're pushed by a 1600 watt DHD Power Cruiser amp.

[nik]

3TST this a bandpast box (its for sale also)

The amp is 2 channel and its bridged. I'm not guaranteeing that the mic was accurate, but it was at a professional car audio place. I have the paper @ home w/ a print out of it. I'd scan it in for proof, but my comp isnt working and the ones im using here @ school dont have scanners.
