OBI Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 When I went from doing 52's to 54's I can tell you that I felt a huge difference, and so did a lot of the people that I re-demo'ed for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

04SDExplorer Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Lol I was geeked up a few weeks ago when i put up my first 150! But on the flip side, i did a 148.9 at a show 2 weeks prior to that..i adjusted a few things and at the next show did a 150 flat twice in a row, and to be honest it sounded just as loud to me when i did the 148.9..so i couldn't tell a difference by ear i just hoped for the best..

Decaf Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 if u are quiet and hear a difference from sealed up to window down you know it doesnt take 3db to notice a difference, korey is on some crack. i bet most of us can hear 1db change easily...

Decaf Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 (edited) its like saying you dont notice a difference when u turn the volume up ofcourse you notice, and it doesnt take much at all but the louder you are the harder it would be to tell the difference since our ears are only sensitive at lower pressure levels... once it gets to a certain point its more/less pain, lol Edited June 17, 2011 by Decaf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use to meter higher with driver door open and driver door window down. After sound deadening I am louder sealed up and my peak frequency dropped 4hz from 148 to 144. I have to see if that is still the case with the new set up though.
