140db with one 12?

[Skip2MyLude 10+ year member]

Is it possible to hit at least 140db with a single 12" idmax v.3 inside a 1.5 cubic sealed enclosure fed 1000watts to 2ohms? Someone claimed of hitting 149db with a single L7 in a ported enclosure which really suprised me.

Anything's possible ... (within reason).

If you want to achieve more SPL, build a ported box ...

I've seen a single DD9510 10 hit 169.2db with a viper2500D amp.

Dont know about that subs and all but I did 138 with 750 watts and a B12 on Lin X. Sucks but my car is not really spl orinated, I have a back seat and all.

I'll be happy with 140db while retaining sound quality..

That would be nate munson. Although, I thought he was running two of the 2500's on it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Back to the original question though...It certianly is possible. Just gotta work at it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

It was a while ago he was using 12 batteries 1 2500D and a 9510 in a 7^ft enclousre in his little orange honda.

BTW it was the old mic.

A single Magnum D2 sealed with 500 watts did a 139.1 on the Linear X !! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif Dunno if he's registered on this forum, but he's josh99ta on Sound Illusions...

that 149 with a single L7 wouldn't be me now would it. i did that with 750rms on a mic that is .5db's looser than the Lin X. a 149.1 to be exact.
