realize that you're new; and tryin to help you out before you get flamed like there's no tomorrow.

no way to honestly tell db without putting the vehicle on a meter and testing.

lol my bad man..i knew someone was going to say that..i figure someone who had a 4k system with one 18 tuned to 35 hrtz would roughly get about..but yea, i was thinking about going to the local audio shop cuz they have a termlab (or something close) but they wants 20 bucks :/

just pay the $20. its reasonable. (as long as its termlab and NOT something close....99.9% will say TL or nothing)

unless you wanna spend $650 and buy your own TL; then you can test for yourself...just an idea

I would just pay the money to get an idea of what numbers you are pulling off. Local shop around here charged me $25 and I did not even get to control my own H/U.

to pthrift, that is just a rule of thumb in the "science behind hair trick video" made by Ed. You can do a hair trick with hitting lower than that, but it's not hair getting blown up and moving erratically like we all like it to.

Off topic for a minute though, not trying to thread jack or anything, but pthrift. It says your location is VA, may I ask where in VA you are located? You can PM me if you would like so we do not thread jack the OP.

if you build a better box or a wall, you might not be able to get a full hair trick, but you should be able to get some hair movin. Hell if you wall it, you should be able to do better then mine. I like my back seat too much to Wall.

Hairtricks are difficult I would say that yeah, 150dB+ is needed unless you're tuned real low.

My bud has a 3k also. He is running 2 18"s in the hatch. Box is undersized. It is a sealed box because he is a firm beilever in them for some reason. He has about 4-5 cubes and the subs are real close to the hatch. He is under powering the woofers by half. I mean he has enough power to make one happy. LMAO. He messed around with the latch so the hatch does not flex as much. Did a real nice job with it. It moves hair a tweak already. A lot more needs to be done with this system. I would suggest making a real nice box that hugs the lines of the hatch. IDK what your sub wants for cubes but i bet you can get close to what you need. I would say Sub in the middle of the box and port whereever you would like. My buddy also cut the round plastic peice that dips down on the hatch lid for more clearance for subs.

See my avatar. That's 2 alpine typ-r 12s on 2kws. It metered 148.3 @ 43 hz. For hair tricks it's all about tuning. That setup was tuned to 32 hz and moved tons of air. My newest setup with 2 AQ 15s on 3.3kws doesn't move near as much air, but it's tuned to 43 hz and meters a hair under 152dbspl.

Yes it´s difficult, but you don´t need a 150 to get a hairtrick, my swift did 147.1 on the TL sealed on the dash and it did big hairtricks, i don´t have a video But, it stills move a lot of air with a 2K amp hitting barely a 145.5 on the TL and 3 10" subs, so i would say, depends on the tuning and box size really, on the other hand, the sexplorer it´s hitting around 151 on the TL with a 42 hz tuning and doesn´t move any hair hahaha

[skittlesRgood]

Rule of thumb according to Ed is that you need around 150db to pull off an actual hair trick.

i have to disagree. i know a few guys with 1 18" or 2 15"s doing 145-147db and they can do hairtricks. on music i could do 149.5ish and i couldnt get a hairtrick. i burped a 150.4 but never did a tone with a girl in the window.
