xplayazplayzonx Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 when people tell me to be careful because they think 2000 watt rms can break my back window. which i know for a fact 1500 watt rms barely even flex it. when people tell me im going to go deaf. When you can look at the specs for fi bl 15 subwoofer rating and it peaks out at 91 db if your lucky and have everything properly setup. when my manager thinks his cerwin vega stroker thats on a 1200 watt rms amplifier can beat my fi bl 15, which also has stock electrical and a wet cell battery. when people cheap out on their install and you feel so bad that their car might catch on fire you use all your supplies to do the install correctly. when you go to a car audio place ask them for a price on an item and its like double or triple the price compared to online.

david in germany Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 I know most of this is from little pissing matches you have with people trying to say their gear is louder than yours or their gear is better than yours but you increase the drama by disagreeing with them. Guys, why don't you all try this. When they ask how loud your system is say oh, I can only do like 120db's or something ungodly low. Or yeah my amps says it will do 4k watts but it really only does 500w. Start messing with them and then the roumors will start rolling, That dude with 500w is like 100 X louder than that guy over there with 5kw. Have some fun, don't get all pissed and stuff. Go into a shop selling Boss and say yeah I couldn't afford the Boss so I picked up this weak ass Sundown or DC gear. Have fun with it because arguing is a waste of time and from a bystander you both look like idiots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Place the sub 1 meter away from the measuring device without enclosure and give it 1 watt at a certain frequency (I don't recall the frequency) and that is what the db comes from in the specs.

BFF Larry Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 I went into a local car audio shop yesterday in colerain. Audio Advantage. I asked if they would recone subs, they said yes but what brand. I told them DC Audio. They looked at me and said that company is closed and you can't recone their subs. Then they told me that once you recone a sub, it'll never play "right" ever again.... And that is because it wasn't done by a machine in a factory..... After I asked them if Memphis subs were pretty good, they then told me they have never reconed a sub before...

TeamHT Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 People who Google things, read from others, are told by others and think they're professionals. Then go online and make fun of the other uneducated people who they themselves were a part of just 5 minutes ago. This. But also applying to those who talk about shops not knowing what they are talking about...when they don't know what they are talking about. Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

RED:if you need 1500W RMS to flex a window then you are doing something wrong. (300W RMS should be able to flex a window easily, atleast 300W with a good box) Blue: His stroker could be louder then your BL, the stoker is a great sub, it's very efficient.(Most old school subs are more efficient then the same newer subs, although it's not always like that) when people tell me im going to go deaf.

I don't like it when people confuse efficiency with sensitivity. Annoying hatches that have tiny openings so it's almost impossible to deaden properly. Not being able to get the roller into the area you want. People not stating what equipment they have when they have a problem or just say a 1000W amp and a single din HU and 6.5inch speakers which doesn't really help at all. Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man, I knew it was something ridiculus but I just couldn't remember. Old School Cerwin Vega subs advertised 98db or something like that for their subs back in the day. They did get loud though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
