Smurfboy Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Good luck with the setup! I have no doubt that it is possible to have a single 15 hit 150dB. Wasn't there a guy who got a single 18 that could hit 180+dB couple of years ago? If he could do that, you could do that too! EDIT: Here's a link to a guy who got a single 18 hitting 180db in case if you're curious! [link] You didn't really say that did you?!?! Where are you getting this info, I HOPE you're joking and I missed it.... *Edit-Was this done on a TL? No idea, man. I tried to search more information about how he do that and what kind of mic it was tested on but no luck. Can anyone else confirm this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davecubs14 Posted May 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 I guess he was talking about how it's an extreme comp car, bolted everywhere probably. While mine is a street class car and nowhere near that level, lol. But that's ok! I know with a lot of work....i'll eventually get up there with all my testing. Maybe not this year.....maybe not next but I see a ton of people, like tommyk, hitting 150 with a single 10 without a sweat but other people with the same vehicle or even simliar trucks, needing tons of power or a lot of cone area to get anywhere close. Why? Cause he's put in a ton of work. Go onto Ca.com and look at his threads and posts years ago, he was only hitting 135 db a decade ago. He put in a ton of work, Hitting what? 154 with a single 10 now? I'll get there;) But for now, my magic box is retiring, cracked the second baffle off......motor force...ftw? Lol.

Davecubs14 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 I dialed it back a couple notches. Put in my hdc3 wired at 1 ohm. Clamping ~1200 watts. That's my set up while I fix up my car and try deadening and other stuff. So far, it's up to 146.1 @headrest. And like 147.5 in the kick. Not bad numbers for the watts and single 15. Wait till I drop in another sub and drop to .5 ohms.

Davecubs14 Posted April 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Came across my own thread, I can add some more info. Placed 3rd at meca world finals in street 2. Scored a 148.7. Haven't worked on it much this year but unofficially up at 149.3. Single sundown z v.3 15 on a dd m3a. I can add more power or put the meter in the kick, both will put me into 150's but this is my street 2 set up so i'm sticking with what I got.

Nightshade Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Here is a link to a build that I did off similar power in my Focus. All metering was done on the dash with the car sealed so I could see some improvement with windows open in your case. The vehicle that you have is very good for spl and I'm sure you will get loud soon enough. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/52678-small-spl-build-for-my-zx3-with-numbers/?hl=+nightshade 2013 VW Jetta GLI 2.0 Turbo 1 Sundown Audio SCV2000 1 Sundown Audio X15 V2 1 XS Power D3100 Audio Control LC6i Stock Deck 146.4 sealed on the dash at 37hz 2001 Focus ZX3: RETIRED Team Sundown Audio, Team XS Power, 2 time NSPL Car 3601-Up Champion, 2 time NSPL Car Hardcore ChampionHighest NSPL Scores to date:154.3db on the dash sealed at 46hz, 156.2db in the kick at 46hz155.2db unofficial on dash at 43hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
