Car Audio SPL, are you guys into it? Options

[dz93]

hey guys, just wondering if anyone else on this site is a subwoofer nut.
when i first got my celi before i could legally drive it on my own i had already put in a pretty massive sound system which set me back quite a damn bit. got remote ignition alarm installed so i can turn it on from my bedroom lol, leds that change colour,pattern,speed etc.
anyways just wondering if any other ppl are into competing in spl
i cant remember what my best DB rating is but i do remember hitting a 137.2 or something.
talking to a spl specialist he reckons i can get 145db or so if i get a new box made, and thats whats holding me back.

Man you rep vibe quite a bit! lol
I did the same thing before I could actually drive, went through like 6 systems and countless friends installs to find something that was my "style", of playing
I read up a tonnn! (had nothing better to do in hs ) on car audio, and the subs can only act as good as the box you put them in. I first had some ebay bandpass box for my subs and they were kick assss! But then i really started reading into technical things, and decided to build a box exactly to my subs specs (alot harder than you'd think, alot of equations and precision).
So i spent a while looking everything up and doing all the math, and decided it would be a fun project, so I went for it. Spent a week making it (never made anything in my life lol). but long story short, I put the subs in and...OMG!!!
Subs were instantly 2x's the bang!
I have mine facing toward the front, and the "wind" is a crazy feeling, I can barely play it.
Also did all the LED's like you have an more interior things (went a little crazy actually, I think I have 6 switches). All 1/0 gauge wiring, Kinetik batteries, 250 amp alt, ect.
Kinda gotten out of that stage for now though, think I'm selling the system soon. Its deff fun though, and when you know you can "beat" anyone around in a comp cause you did a little research.... fun times. And gets some heads turning
Want to go 3sgte now though
