Skullz Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 There is a point of diminishing returns on the amount of equipment installed, kinda like throwing money out a window. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonedeaf Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Now that's the kind of forward thinking I like to hear ! To the rest of you guys, "Don't be scared" Fish A souped up diesel can make an easy 700+ hp with a small handful of mods. I don't think it would have a huge problem keeping up. Exactly, my buddy's Pstroke 7.3 does 700ish on the dyno with an adjusted stock pump, beans turbo, and stage 3 injectors. Theres loads of cummins with a LOT more done to them doing 1000+ to the ground. Sure they have $200K and $40k just into the tranny, but its still there.

Fish Chris Posted September 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 do you mean a daily driven beast or a one note cement filled wonder Well, once you make the amperage, you can push that in any direction you want to. If straight up SPL contests were your thing, I'm quite sure 100Kwts would make 1 hell of a fart box LOL Of course if it were my power to play with, I'd shoot for somewhat of an SQL system.... but that's just me. There is a point of diminishing returns on the amount of equipment installed Well sure, all stereo systems work on a very steep curve. The first 1000 wts will give you a LOT more SPL's than the second 1000...... But it's NOT like this cuve only kicks in after 30Kwts. This same pricipal works the other direction too. One could say, why do you need any more than the factory 40 or 80wts, when 160 wts.... or 320 wts, only gives you a little bit more.... Yet, I think most of the guys on this forum either have a lot more wattage than a stock system..... or at least aspire to have a lot more. Peace, Fish PS, In fact, now that I think about it, to say "their is a point of deminishing returns" is kind of a misnomer. As that "point" starts at 0 wts, and curves upward from there.

Fish Chris Posted September 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Herby, out of curiosity, did that setup rely on external power, or did the vehicle make all of it's own juice ? ....and if so, how ? Any vehicle that could make 160Kwts has something very special going on..... other than just 3 or 4 automotive alternators strapped together..... Fish I seen pics of the sound digital demo vehicle. It had something like 10 16k amps. I will try to find the pics later tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think that they still run off of automotive alternators, just have a couple tons of batteries strapped under the car and look like this: Current Systems: 2011 BMW 335i Hertz HDP1 DC LVL3 12" Full Carbon Fiber 2002 Acura TlKenwood DNX9980HD2 DCLVL4 12" Subs with LVL5 Parts D.7 CoilsDC 3.5kHertz HSK-165 up front HCX-165 RearHertz HDP4 AmpDC Power Engineering 260 Amp AltBig 3 and amp powered with KNU 1/0XS Power D2400 Up Front i pulled out my dick in class many of times and had it shown. get over it bitch...stupid open legged hairy beavered bitch... going over rms = smaller box, under rms = bigger box...

tommyk90 Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Plenty of db drag superstreet/extreme vehicles have had in excess of 100,000 watts. Steve Cook had 32 Memphis 4kw's on 16v that was over 140,000 watts. I think that was one of the highest ever. Scottie Johnson had 28 IA 40.1's on 16v. These are the ones I can remember. I'm sure there's more.

Fish Chris Posted September 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 I do think that they still run off of automotive alternators, just have a couple tons of batteries strapped under the car But hey Bumonskate, I wonder if the reason they need a couple tons of batteries, is to store up enough juice, from their wimpy (okay.... probably a little stronger than the alt in my Hyundai LOL... but relatively speaking) automotive alternator setups ??? Maybe if some of these guys would build a real gimongous generator setup, they could produce enough continuous juice, that all that tonnage of batteries wouldn't be neccessary ? Just saying.....
