Spl Comps

anybody ever participate? we got a meter at a local car show that everyone tests there subs out, and like 140 is like a decent, acceptable level. for most of these people there tryin to break 147dB... untill this guy shows up this week.



this was LOUD lemme tell ya
also, a nicely done up del sol


and. an old mercury i thought was pretty neat

What mic, what placement and what comp. rules are used?

Anybody with an Audiobahn street beat setup can hit 150+ on an AC mic in the kick.

xsayvor does dbDrag, and with the subs I have now I got from him he was running 148 I believe - if I'm not mistaken, new TL/dash

Looks like it was a good time you had up there!

looks like 4 Atomic 18s - wicked... along the lines of RE MT/DD 99xx/Treo/etc.

Un slant those tips and the Del Sol would be perfect.

The Merc is cool too

haha yea i did have a good time. it wasnt really a "comp" it was just placin the mic on the windshield and seein how loud it was. the meter was ran off a generator, so if thats what u mean by AC power, than yes. there isnt any rules really, but u can bet that that van has some serious deadening, etc and he acctually took off both front seats during the "comp" anyways, that mic had to be pretty accurate because it was the first time i felt the groud shake from a 50 hz burp (or whatever hz). also at that show, theres burnout contests, "showoff of the week", local radio station 103.3 hosts it, and theres a couple hundred bikes, a hundred trucks, couple hundred cars, i might be exaggerating, but its pretty big IMO.

AC mic = Audiocontrol, makers of the infamous SPL-190 mic. Reads anywhere from 8-10dB higher than actual.

Wish I lived in a big enough city that we had stuff like that to go to.
