db question

[twofoolish2b 10+ year member]

I'm looking for a ruff idea of what to expect db wise from my first sub. I haven't got it yet, had to send it back because I was a noob and got dual voice coil where I needed single voice coil to be able to run it at 4 ohms. So with a Memphis Power Reference 12" with around 270w rms going to it in a ported 2 cubes box tuned to around 35hz what can I look to get from this setup db wise?

I'm not looking to compete or anything, just trying to figure out if I did ok with my first setup and wondering how it will sound. Opinions?

under 140 i would guess, probably 135 area, very hard to predict these things...

If we said, 137, would that really make it any more clear to you? Have you ever heard a metered setup that you can reference from? These threads are pointless. I hate coming off like a dick, but seriously. To answer your question, somwhere between 0-193.4, probably within the 130-140 area. (that's a wide range, but oh well)

2) How many DB's will you hit?- Somewhere within the audible range of sound is your answer. Don't ask questions with infinite variables that are yet to be determined. Deleted on sight.

Theres no way to know.

How about you get things installed, get metered, and then YOU tell US?

Since its your first setup, Im sure youll be pleased with it.
