[QUOTE="cotjones, post: 5351130, member: 573988"] I'm not going to say that it's impossible for you to hit 155db's with that setup, because it's not. However it seems unlikely, you are being way too liberal with your estimates. If you think that your PowerBass 1500's are giving you 2200watts at 2ohms i suggest you buy a working multimeter, and throw that piece of shit you have in the garbage. And i assume since you haven't been metered you are only going by the loudness of other systems to come up with the figure "155db's." well know this... a climb from 145 to 155 is twice as audibly louder, and 10 times more intense. This means that is you were hitting 145 with 2 specific subs, you would by theory need 20 of those subs to get twice as loud. Of course it's a LOT more complicated than that, there are SOOOO many variables but just use that as a rule of thumb when you haphazardly spew off numbers like 155db's [/QUOTE]
