sorry you are not going to find one where just the amp makes you hit 160+ You also need to have really good subs. Also need to have a extremely well designed box. The amp used is only a small factor on what it takes to hit a 160+.

Oh yea. What do you have now. What is your current setup. What subs do you have. CD player? Amp? Anything? what is your budeget?

there isnt one //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/toast.gif.bc0657bf54b9ee653b6438524461341e.gif

in fact. if you are asking questions like this. i do not believe you can even get 155db, unless you pay somone else to do it for you. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

not to hurt your feelings. but if it was easy, then why dosnt everyone set world records?

95' gmc sierra x cab with the back seat out and a full xtra cab box with, until the budget gets bigger fosgate head unit, spl 800x4 amp and 2 12'' p miller series bazooka subs(250w/voice coil 500w total each). fosgate 160.II pushing door speakers

 

[sknypmp04]

looking for 4 fosgate hx2 powers perferably 18's and 4 R.F.1001 amps. but that is gonna take a while to meet budget

You're going to need quite a bit more than that....160dB is insanely loud. The pressure at that level takes years of experience and EXTREME box building skills. All of this paired normally with thousands of watts of power and high quality subs, neither of which you have.

EDIT: was typing this at the same time as the 18's post...didn't have time to see it. With those subs, you'll probably need more power to hit 160, and don't forget that the box is the biggest variable and in a truck you will most likely not get the proper space to allow for perfect enclosures, you will not hit 160. If you're asking these questions I guarantee the score is out of your reach by all stretches of the imagination.

with 4 18s and over 4k watts it is possible to break 160. I would never attempt it unless I REALLY knew what I was doing. There would be nothing worse than to spend all that money and put it on the meter and only hit like 145 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Going to need more than 4K total watts to hit 160.

 

[monte_carlo97 10+ year member]

^^ yea no kidding 4000 watts is going to be a shortfall for 4 18's

 

[woahloud 10+ year member]

Woah, yeah, 4k watts for 4 18"s is hella short...
