cavaliers60 · 03-17-2011, 12:13 AM

bizzy07 · 03-17-2011, 12:14 AM

sleepyalero · 03-17-2011, 12:22 AM

150 is like going deaf, from what i saw on manswers 200 will kill you... haha

bizzy07 · 03-17-2011, 12:26 AM

150 is the tip of the iceberg

bizzy07 · 03-17-2011, 12:27 AM

To get much louder I will most likely get a bigger vehicle and some bigger subs and amps and more batteries.

I understand the spirit of competition, but I thought you had to stay within certain class limits. But anyway, looks like you're moving foward on the project, and that's good

bizzy07 · 03-17-2011, 02:24 AM

depends what you are doing really... I'm just trying to get as loud as possible and make it sound amazing at the same time!

AGT · 03-17-2011, 09:30 AM

I know once you hit the 140s it gets tougher and tougher

Gr1m · 03-17-2011, 01:02 PM

Afugy · 03-17-2011, 06:08 PM

It's a hobby. Unless you have the motivation to learn, you wouldn't be able to understand honestly. I enjoy the challenge of using the few resources I have, applying my knowledge, and accomplishing more from an spl and sq standpoint than a lot of other people do with 2 to4 times the money invested.

I think you may have got a number mixed up there. Maybe a 137 with a shitty box. It'd still be really hard to convince me of a 147 on a good day. You are talking about your Orion HCCA's right?

And honestly, with the money invested into those HCCA's, you could drop that cash into a single 12" or pair of 10"s and solid 3,000rms amplifier to compensate for the small box you'd be using. I could see you doing a 145 with a little work. That is with KEEPING your equipment AND running the subwoofer setup.

And good number on music sir. :good: Can't wait to see what you can burp and at what frequencies! And to do a 150 in our car, you're looking to wall I assume? That would be a lot of power, money, and testing to see a 150 at under 40Hz out of our trunk. The only 150 I see coming out of our car with a trunk setup would be a burp box similar to Fi-Alero's car or something of the such and burp in the 50-60Hz range. SPL coils, etc. But I don't see you doing that. Musical or bust! lol I'll be looking forward to it though!
