Alero Wall Build: Two 18" DC Level 4's

Cashdollar2009 · 05-07-2010, 01:15 AM

Obviously not my car. A member on the SMD forums that owns a 2001 four door has decided to take on the first wall project that I have heard of in one of our cars. Not really looking to keep tabs for him over here, but thought some of the bassheads here may be interested. He's an experienced car audio addict so expect some good work.

A stock radio in our cars will do 113 db at 1000hz, that is more damaging then 150 db at 40hz. Driving with your windows down on the freeway will do more damage then his system will. You can hit over 120 db just by closing your doors. Please keep your ill informed comments to yourself.

Are these numbers A-weigt or C-weight? And I agree, higher frequencies (especially if they are distorted) will do more damage to your ears in the long run than the typical 20-80hz.

At first I thought it was a picnic table....looks good. Now my question is How much added weight is that and will the rear suspension be upgraded to support the added weight?

No I didn't read a thing...incase anyone ask!
