AA98hoe Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Pics of this said tauraus..... 160 db is no easy task.... I know of 3 people on the west coast that have built and can build 160 systems.... there mite be more that I don't know of point being you have no idea what it takes to get a 160. Id start with a goal of 155... that's.

03TahoeXXX Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Sell the car and get something with more room to work. or go with sum lvl 3 18s on less power as your first set up. build your eletrical up and then upgrade equipment as much as electrical will allow. just not sure you will be able to have enough room for the required alts and batts to run that much power!

9515ROB Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) well her since most people that have commented on this dont run anything over 7k and are talking out there ass and full of drama at least 3 runs of 1/0 power and ground from front battery to back Biggest high output alternator you can find Since i doubt you can fit dual alts you are going to have to try to fit as many batteries as possible. I would look into running about 10 xs power,batcap,kinetik, shuriken batteries. The first 2 i listed are the best out right now I aint trying to shoot down your dreams but a 60 takes quite a bit of trial and error. People that do 60s+ have alot of testing and build boxes just to take them right out and try something else. Im basically in the same boat as you im going to run 28k daily and i can only fit one alt so i am having to build my electrical as strong as i possible can so i can keep my voltage up Edited December 29, 2011 by 9515ROB Quote - 1998 Ford Mustang - Time to rebuild. 4 15s and alot of power TEAM DTF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kdub26 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 just curious. how loud are you trying to get? how many DBs? i was hoping with how much im putting into this to hit170 but i think thats a little farfetched as somone else said but at min 160 i want 160 if i can get more then im happy but i want 160 shooting for 160-170 on a first time build? dang...

Kdub26 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 honestly, 160-170 is unreasonable for that. if youve seen steve's numbers, he hit almost 160 with 4x the amount of time and money invested.

Team_DC-Derrick Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Looking into and researching how much power im gonna need for 2 lvl 5 18s powered by the 9kamps 1 to each and need help finding mids and highs and what i need to power them with any info would help also where i can browse where to buy some good mids and highs this is all going into a 05 tiburon looking to be the loudest hatchback in my area good luck with that, because i had 2 lvl 5 18s in a hatch, in ohio unless you mean your specific city, then well.. im in columbus... but im doing 4 15s and 2 DC 5ks here soon unless you just mean specifically a no wall vehicle LOL i wouldnt put 2 9ks on 2 lvl 5s, unless its a burp application, thats from my personal review of it.. that power is more along the lines of the lvl 6s... audiosavings.com sells good mids and highs, and DC has the 175.4 to match up with it.. honestly, i had a lil 200w 2 channel hooked up to my mids and highs, and it kept up with my integra doing 55s on music at the headrest... dont see why the 175.4 couldnt handle that, on some decent mids Quote The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall....... I just realized Steve has reach Voldemort status, over on JP's site he is the one who will not be named....."We dont speak his name over here, fearing it will destroy us" LOL not even in hush tones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team_DC-Derrick Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) ok bringing me down to earth with all the info i apperciate it alot well can somone pm me so we can talk about how and what i would need to build a reliable 160 db DC system thats really what i want and willing to do just about anything to get it a 4th order.... or a very efficient car, and box.... or just scrap it, and get a CRX or a panda... that would get you the 160 with the equipment you listed with 1 7k, i was only able to get 155.2 db at the headrest at 35hz on music.. theoretically doubling the power CAN yield 3db... i had 2 lvl 5 18s in a wall... so even with 3db gain by doubling the power, thats 158... 160 is a HUGE goal, and its hard to achieve... aim for mid 50s, on music and be happy with it.. if its your daily/demo car.. if its a all out burp car that will be trailered, then yeah, 160 should be the goal.. but start off with a realistic goal first, then test and test and test till you start seeing improvements... you would be amazed how taking off a seatbelt on 1 side can yield .2 db... and at that range, .2 can cost thousands edit 2 18s is 508 sq inch of cone.. not 36 and 4 18s is 1017... not 72....
