Intellectual stupidity at its finest.

Would you care to explain how you came to this conclusion? I think you should back up your statement by proving that he just demonstrated "Intellectual stupidity" or can we all just take your comment as plain stupidity. No offense but if he is wrong and you know it then you should correct him so others aren't misled... Am I wrong for this request??

Now don't take my post as an insult. I wasn't saying you're wrong or stupid, but if you say something that you have no facts to back up your statement, then that statement in itself would be a display of a certain level of stupidity. I for one don't want to have a false understanding of ANYTHING and don't think anyone else does either. So please enlighten us.

i agree to this guy 100%. just to give an example i think this whole "SPL" Level is bunch of BS on a termlab. just for example. in my sentra i was running 2 old soundstream rubicons 1002's at 1.2ohms bridged 1 on each of a new Soundstream SPLX12-4 QVC 1000RMS a sub in only a 1.75cu a side transmission line enclosure with 1 main battery and a stock "80amp" alternator at the time.. in the trunk slammed up to the decklid firing back only about 4in away and i know for a fact my stuff is LOUD! it litterly takes the air from your lungs although on a termlab it was supposedly only hitting a 143.5 which is total BS in which is dumb because no lie ive measured it i shake houses over 1mile down the road and been told by manyyy people.

a buddy of mine running 4 RE SE 10s in a cavalier fired up in the trunk 1/2 in the trunk 1/2 in the backseat on 2 Rub2500.1d's strapped at 5k with 5 batterys was hittin 149+ and was honestly no where any near as loud as mine. this whole "pressure build up in a cab" is crap. and his you couldnt hear but the next building over.

this is just my opinion ive had a lot people though agree with me once they sat in my car and then cars that did almost a 150+ there's honestly no comparison with mine to theres.

another example 3 weeks ago a kid was showing up his FI BTL 15 on 2k RMS and everyone said how amazing it was and how loud it was and hes doin mid 140s np. but a friend mine came back telling me this wanted to hear my system. so i let him sit in and lets just say by time he got out he couldn't breathe or walk straight lol.

so heres my argument a TERMLAB i believe is not a good way to ever test music and honestly think its crap so im agreeing to the youtube post.

and i know im missing a lot of factors of car, box, size, firing direction and not saying mines the best.. i just dont understand why building up pressure is sound its not its bascilly air.build up on cabin pressure. lol im only 19 and my old man been in car audio for over 20some years. and what i remember looked up and have seen is the "SPL" use to be measured by sound which i belive is the correct way.

but why im on topic 1 more example. in a blazer i listend to 8-15s sure it was loud moved A LOT of air windows up doors shut hitting mid 150s. but still no where near as loud as mine. the different type of sounds its producing does not show up on a termlab compared then it use it years ago.
