For the first time in my life, I heard 4,000+ watts RMS---OMFG

Man I just can't imagine 1 12" getting that loud....Must be moving 5"

I guess I'm still a noob

The movement or xmax, does not determine if it is "loud".

so yes, you are still a noob

4kw rms+ while being able to heard the highs clearly is more impressive

Thats what I'm trying to do with my daily. Im waiting to get the rest of my batts (next weekend //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif ) Then Im ditching the hifonics and getting a nice 5kw or so amp for the 'shades.

And about the rental car thing being bright. I dont make an *** ton of money, but for 5 months of his rental payments I can hunt down a used car thatll last 2 or 3 years. Got mine for 1500 and had it 2 years now.

Thats more bright than renting a car perpetually or leasing one IMO.

most power ive ever heard was two L7 15s on a kicker zx2500.1 and it just hit highs real good, the box is tuned to high, the lows= SILENCE

Loudest I've heard is a local guys small suv with two dd9515's on a 40.1. I can honestly say that was way louder than I would ever want to listen to on a daily basis.

I've got a single 10" sitting next to me with a port bigger than it's cone area. With the cone moving maybe 5-10mm each way if even that, at tuning, I have significant port noise, off of only 400 watts, probably more like 300, and it's rated to take 800 (that's how violent the air movement in the port is, if you couldn't make the connection)

So one sub can be louder than another of the same size in the exact same install without having more linear excursion?

No, in a specified enclosure (exact same one) two different subs moving the exact same distance will have equal output (assuming that excursion is at the same frequency)

But box design plays a HUGE roll, and you're eliminating box design with this example

That's what I thought.

See, I'm growing out of my noobishness nicely.

Edit: So how does higher excursion not make a sub system louder 15Nissen?

It doesn't automatically. This only applies for the exact same environment for the subs (enclosure/etc)

Ive heard some competition vehicles, but i dont like just burps on tones. one of the loudest daily's ive heard was my buddy Wes with 4 18"s TC-5200's on 4 Autotek MM3000.1's ... IN A S10 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif. doing 152's easily on music on the dash, tuned to 33hz, he did 150db @ 30hz on the dash.

next to that, my truck is probably the second loudest daily around here, so im used to 4kw+ daily, but i dont normally play full tilt every day

Gotcha.

 

[15nissen 10+ year member]

Gotcha.

Basically, what really matters is the install, ie BOX.

Its really 90% of the getting loud deal.

so far my setup's the loudest i've heard so far. I prob have somewhere around 4,000 watts going to my subs. Haven't had a chance to meter it yet, hoping to do so 2morrow.

Definitely loud enough for me daily, and probably more then i need. however, i still want to experience at least once something in the 160+ db sometime, or something that gets very loud on the low notes (30hz or less).
