There is a really cool vid on dc's web sight called "what it takes to hit 150" check it out.
I was looking at customer reviews of the jl audio 13w6 on the online car stereo web site and this is what 1 guy said he did to get 150dbs outta his jl audio 13w6 lol>

"I had two 13W6v2 hooked up to a Memphis M-class 1100D amp, and controlled by a Pioneer Premier Head Unit. They settled in and blended nicely with the highs and created such a full soundstage. But when you wanted to turn them up and really perform, they were ready as I 147.3 with just one at 600 watts and could hit mid 150s with both of them. Definitely worth the money."

That is his exact quote.... I want the 13w6 that can hit 147 db all by its self with 1100 rms lol!!!!

What is the link for this video?

Pm'd you. I'm actually interested in these amps. Just don't think I have enough money for what you would want. Maybe we can work something out.

The wife and i drove down loop 336 Saturday and saw all the cars and trucks on the way to the lake. She got online and saw there was the throwdown & a gunshow over there, two of my favorite things ( im more of a gun nutt than a stereo guy) I thought of bringing my truck up there Sunday but didnt know anyone who was going. We gotta get a group for next year together.

i dont see you hitting 150 with that. couple of hdc3s maybe.

You normally peak higher in the kick, 2-3 cycles. If you can do a sweep with mic in the kick, then start burping at that peak, then 1 cycle higher until you find your true peak...

I went back an looked at your build.

If you have a chance to get on the meter, pop your back hatch. Just pop it open, like 1-2". Based on the build pics I saw, I bet you will gain 1-3dB just from that.

I'm convinced your box/sub design is pretty flawed for your vehicle. I promise you that 4-10's on the same power under the window line could have been louder...and very capable daily.

I know I'm a bit late to reply back to your post, but I figured I would anyways. Met up with Bob Doak (not sure if you know who that is or not) the other day and he helped me meter my car again. Turns out it peaks at 52hz... Not 43hz like what Jenissa told me at LST. So I ended up hitting 147.3db instead of 145 just by simply changing the frequency of the note.

Also, the box design was done by Mark from Car Audio Fabrications. He did a great job and showed me multiple pictures of the box parameters built to the subwoofers I had. He tried multiple designs and this is what worked out best. It was meant to sound good on all types of music and not necessarily meant for the meter. I'm sure by finishing up the imperfections inside and out of the box and fixing the port (it can be reinforced and rounded out) I can get up 149db or so. Or at least close to that.

I will try out your suggestion next time I visit my buddy with his TL. Sounds interesting; thanks.

When you get a chance to get on the TL and test w/ your back hatch popped open, pm me and let me know the results.

Hey there fellas!
I went to Lone Star Throwdown last weekend and metered exactly 145 at 43hz. I REALLY want to get up to the 150 mark.

I currently have three hds200 15's walled off in my civic hatchback on 1500w of power. I have an XS D5100 up front with a 140amp alt.

Let's say I upgraded to about 3000w of power. Specifically an SAZ-2500d. Annndddd added an XS D5100 in the back... Do you think I could reach the 150 mark with that much power?

I plan on driving at 1.3ohms daily and .66 ohms (I think that's the second option if I wanted to go lower?) for comps.

Thanks guys!

If all you plan on changing is doubling the power you will not hit 150.

The math behind it says doubling your power gives you a 3db gain, but you have to factor in thermal compression. You might get 2db I bet. Get some beefier woofers and some more power and you should be pretty close.
