1000-1500w SPL Numbers

[nathanprice]

I was just curious of what numbers other people running in the 1k-1.5k range without a heavily modified vehicle are hitting SPL-wise?

I'm running 4 12s at ~1300w and did a 143.8 sealed on the windshield on music (because i dont know my peak yet).

Seen a 149.9 clamped under 500 watts rms

More likely it's a 3500+ W amp, high impedance at burp frequency and efficient.

Going by clamp numbers I reckon most wall or SPL builds would be over 150 in the 500-1000W range.

Personally I built a 15" and box for a friend that did high 144's at 42hz powered by JL 500/1.

When I started competing I did 2000W and under class and could burp 148.6-148.7... pair of 15s on DC PAI2000 (same board as the old Sundown 2K)

A Team SounDrive member does 147.8db on 497w sealed on the dash. 100% stock interior, no deadener.

Makes sense.

Thats awesome, very efficient build!

1 nsv1 18 on an old kicker kx1200 did a 145.1 in a malibu hatchback

146.x with 2 15w3's in the back of a s10 blazer from a MTX 81000 amp. I'm the one that got that score. Course, that was long ago.

I'm just guessing but at 1400 rms and 2 SA12's in a walled civic. I would be surprised if I didn't break the 150 mark. I'm sure I did but I don't have a meter and I don't have the car anymore. Did all that on solid electrical , plenty of 14v juice

SA 12-D4 x2 Old School PPI amps & 31 eq, Pioneer HU, Focal fronts, Mechman, 4/0 & 1/0 everywhere,Interstate batt x3 6cuft 28Hz

You did a wall for 2 12's? Why?
