How loud does it have to be?


Recommended Posts

Most of the time the problem is finding somebody with a meter. No one around me has a termlab with a couple of hours drive. Should finally have a score though bc of a show next month where I'll finally have my car metered and it's a 3hr drive. Not to complain bc I know plp have driven and even flown to go see shows.

OP it really all depends on the car and setup of the equipment. Every car is differemt to everybody and the experience changes

Hell with how cheap meters have got now. ($400) anybody that serious about bass should own one. Get a couple buds to chip in if you have too. Then you can hold you own friendly competitions lol.

I had 2 t2d412 on a 1500.1bdcp do just over 143 and it had some flex, some had issues with breathing or comments about their vision but some didn't.

had 1 t2d415 on a 1500.1bdcp do just 1db under my 2 12s. A whole lot more flex and louder to my ear. Some songs could add some work to me breathing. Still not as loud as the 12s though.

the meter is a beast of its own. Just because you think its loud doesn't mean it will be loud on a meter.

I do live about an hour from Steve Meade's shop, I could try to see if he would let me meter lol. I understand that it might not meter good but still be loud to the ear and visa versa.

My system is 2 Fosgate HX2 12's with PSI 1000 watt rms recons. I'm only giving them around 1200 watts rms and they still do ok. They are in a 4th order in the back of my Jeep Cherokee, I've put in a lot sound deadener and all the electrical upgrades to handle more power than I'm pushing.

Thanks for the input so far, I'm simply curious because it's loud for being 12's on such little power compared to some bigger systems I've heard.

It all depends on the person. ex: i've sat in keith millers jeep which to most people is impossible to breathe in and what not, in which i had no problem breathing.

I'm able to drive the shops Isuzu around no problem, it's upper 58's around 50Hz and 156's around 30Hz.

I can see fine, breathe fine, and no discomfort at all....

Pretty decent for 1200 rms man. I wish I could do a 4th order with my t2's

It would be worth it, T2's love a 4th.
