    How loud is your system?

    I want to know if anyone has spl numbers for lower built/musical systems. I can find people's competion numbers but I want to know what people are hitting at 25 - 35 hz, not 50 hz I guess I want to know if my system is in the right place for the equipment I have or if i need to build a new box...

    COMPLETED 15" MTX Thunder 9500 in ported box

    Have a mint condition 15" MTX Thunder 9500. This sub is a beast..sub itself weighs a ton..it's bulletproof that's for sure. Sounds good, beats very hard, and is all around my personal favorite of all the subs I've owned. 1000 watts rms rated. Is set in a ported box. Box not perfect but sub is...

    SPL upgrade time

    So I drive a small Saturn 3 door coupe. Looking to step into the spl world out of SQ. I am currently running two 12 inch LXR subs from the 80s on a precision power Sedona APA200 and Rockford punch door speakers. It just isn’t loud enough for me anymore. I’m looking to do a not crazy 10,000...

    Best Shallow Mount speakers for SPL?

    I'm looking to put a system in a 1989 GMC k1500 short box regular cab, but of course being a single cab it makes it much harder to find decent subs due to the limited space. I was thinking 4 12' shallow mounts behind the seat as there should be enough room along with some skar audio super...

    Cheapest way to reach 160db?

    Hi guys, this my first post. Just like the title says, what's the cheapest way to reach 160db? I've got a toyota tundra crew cab and am taking out the back seat. I realize that doing a cheap setup like this will lose next to all sound quality, but I mostly care about spl. Thanks for your help!

    Duct tape ans SPL

    So why does duct taping around subs increase SPL? Is it stopping air-leaks around the gasket? Just seems weird to me that people get gains from this: Read this thread that HiSPL's linked and my interest was sparked: SPL Gains!! Updates @page 30 (routing the port) - SPL - SOUND PRESSURE LEVEL...

    question for sub builders out there.....

    How does a basket design affect a subwoofers response? For example is a 6 spoke basket louder then a 12 spoke? What about design baskets such as the Memphis mojos. Basically what I want to know is why people go with different baskets. Not really interested in hearing about ti/tc baskets, I'm...

    Parallel wiring for higher SPL

    If you have any corrections, please let me know. I just thought I'd share this with other people. I never knew it made a difference. Also, bump if you found it helpful! Apparently, wiring in parallel instead of series is better (even to get same impedance). Cliff notes for people who are...

    What defines a subwoofer's SQ and SPL?

    I've read that the DD 3500 poops on the JL W7 in SPL but gets pooped on in sound quality. I just don't understand how a sub can have poopy SQ but amazing SPL. Isn't the point of a subwoofer to move as much air as possible. (More air moved=louder) i thought like doir speakers are the only thing...
