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...

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.
