Spl - Page 4

AmIGrand · 10-11-2002, 05:15 PM

Ypu must hit 130 to qualify for SQ+ or all-out SPL. There is no minimum for just the SQ portion that I have ever been aware of.

Not sure what DB I've hit but... running 2 12's on a 1ohm load. Probably hitting about 300 on each 12. If I crank that bad boy up my CD starts skipping all while the radar detector on the windshield is dancing. Funny as hell...

Most shops charge about $20

Most of the time $10 if you are not going to compete nationally.

Mine is that same way except my CD doesn't skip well thats because I bought an Alpine they never skip. They use a different type of system to make it so that they don't skip. Unlike Sony they use a shock system.

Sony uses a buffer

hey guys, i really want to find out how many db im hitting, my friends tell me at least 150, but i dont know till i get it tested, i live in toronto where would a good place to get my stuff tested be? i got a

JL W7 10"
JL 500/1
Pioneer 840 deck

10-15-2002, 12:26 PM

this is the amp

grass · 10-15-2002, 12:36 PM

peoples ears arent a good sense of DB, you need it metered, they maybe close with the setup you got though.

go to the place where you bought your stuff

blackgagt1 · 10-15-2002, 02:16 PM

My friend has the same setup except that he has a ported box that will get you a better SPL.

I'm hitting 153s. He is no where near me!

I would say you are hitting around 140 with that Tweeter sealed box.

grass · 10-15-2002, 02:21 PM

you went and got yours tested blackgagt1?

i'm still waiting on your pics hehe
heres mine

JL has an Eclipse with 2 10W7's in sealed boxes with a 500/1 to each (2 amps) hitting 152's, so I doubt you're in the 150's with a single sub in that car. The W7 is an awesome woofer to be sure, but somewhere about 139 to 142 is what I'd expect t see there if the system is set up right. You know you're nearing 150 when you can't stand to be in the vehicle while it's cranked.

That's pretty loud for a single 10 in a sealed box, though - enjoy!

blackgagt1 · 10-15-2002, 08:14 PM

Yeah i got mine tested on the 6th.

I will get pics when the dig. cam. is done at work or when i buy one tomorrow when i get my paycheck.

Partical Board?? Grass

10-15-2002, 08:33 PM

i hit 207 with my jensen 6X9s powered my a stock head unit preamp.

blackgagt1 · 10-15-2002, 08:35 PM

What were you under water?

The highest posible score in theory. Is 198 i believe that is with an explosive of some kind

10-15-2002, 08:36 PM

sike.... i have two 15s powered by a kenwood 600. i have no idea what it hits in spl. but for 600 watts, it pounds its ass off. probably in the 120s.

quinton · 10-15-2002, 09:43 PM

i'd cry if you were in the 120's

grass · 10-16-2002, 09:00 AM

my boxes are made of MDF

i too hope your over 120db's heres some other things in DB form

Near total silence - 0 dB
A whisper - 15 dB
Normal conversation - 60 dB
A lawnmower - 90 dB
A car horn - 110 dB
A rock concert or a jet engine - 120 dB
A gunshot or firecracker - 140 dB

blackgagt1 · 10-16-2002, 02:14 PM

It looked like fiberboard. From the picture.

What were the other levels in the Kicker book? Grass?

grass · 10-16-2002, 02:24 PM

my boxes are Fiberboard, Medium Density Fiberboard (or MDF)

i didnt get those decibel's from the kicker book, i found em online, i'll check my kicker book if i can find it

blackgagt1 · 10-16-2002, 02:37 PM

I didn't look like MDF for some reason. It looked like a lower grade. Like anyone would buy any lower for a sub box?!?

It was the Kicker tech tips i got it at there website.

Whisper------------------- 30db
Normal Conversation--- 60db
Beltsander---------------- 93db
Handdrill------------------- 98db
Imapct Wrench----------- 103db
Ambulance Siren--------- 120db
Jet Engine at Takeoff--- 140db
12 Gauge Shotgun------ 165db
Rocket Launcher--------- 180db
Loudest Possible Noise- 194db

grass · 10-16-2002, 02:38 PM

i wonder what the loudest possible noise is?
