Best Buy techs are hilarious

Sort of unrelated, but my buddy stated I would gain approx 3db of sound per sub if I siwtched my 2 15's from a sealed box to a ported box. Does this sound right?

depending on the car, to a spl mic yes, to the ear.....idk

and its not an exact 3 db's either, some cars can actually loose if you do it wrong.

One dB increase is 2x the sound output. Going from 140 to 150 dB is 10x the sound output.

Yes ... Approximately 3.5 minutes @ 120 dBA will cause permanent hearing damage ...

It couldn't possibly make you deaf, the ear doesn't work like that. You aren't using all of the hairs in the cochlea to perceive that certain frequency, so everything else beyond that wouldn't be completely damaged.

After they fired the the a$$ hat at the local cc . They hired a friend of mine . He got fired two weeks later for refusing to cut the wiring harness in a brand new car . They were out of the harness, and the road shop manager told him to cut the harness and hard wire it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

I dont think i would evr cut my factory wiring harness,i might splice into it, but never just cut it off.

i guess i am superman since i hit 140 without dieing or even covering my ears

I would beat the ever-loving shit out of some dumb**** who cut the entire ****ing plug off of my car's factory harness. I mean really. I'd find them and beat them senseless. God ****.

If 120 DB will make your ears bleed and explode, then I should have bee ndeaf a long long time ago.lol

I had a guy at best buy try to tell me that one of theyre Sony Xplod 12s would out do my CVR 15s. I had to walk out before I laughed in his face.

What an idiot. I believe 10dBs is twice as loud if I'm not mistaken

I've heard people say 6db, 8db, 9db, 10db...

^^^ I've heard so many variations. I think it would be pretty hard to prove how many DB's is when something "sounds" twice as loud anyway.

Even at low volumes, it's hard to say what's "twice as loud"

let alone when something's already painfully loud

yeh the BB's here are slow, when i went in for an interview they were amazed that i knew components of a relay, they said nobody ever gets that right.....ugh pathetic.

Why don't we all go to BB or CC and get jobs in their car audio departments. Not only would their service and knowledge increase vastly but then we coul all tell them to start carrying really good stuff and get the employee discount.
