Well ****...this isnt a system someone will laugh at is it?

Im real new to this stuff so take it easy on a noob.

Now if we want to talk modding the motor/transmission etc...then im your man....but this stuff is like chinese to me.

I was told by the guy at mr.tunes it would be low 140 db...thats all i know...and i have read several posts that says this is a decent combo...so thats why I bought it.

Someone will laugh at it. Plenty of people would be happy with it. Listen to it and decide for yourself //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Asking here if your **** is 'loud' is fairly foolish. Loud is relative. It'll be good. It could be louder. All up to you. Just keep in mind, loud is great fun until you NEED that volume just to hear it nice. Hearing loss *****.

Well it will be done today...ill let you guys know what I think.

how long should I wait to break them in? I bought them online so I dont have a warranty...so I need to be careful.

and yeah I dont plan on putting it so loud all the time that I f up my hearing...just want it to be able to go that loud if I want it to

loud enough to launch you into orbit ass first while eating a bag of cheetos.

I'd play them for ~10 hours at reasonable volumes before i tried to push them hard. You'll get as many responses re: breaking in speakers as there are people on the board though...

The amp's gain knob is not like a volume knob where 100% gain is max volume. Your amp may be running full on right now. It's all relative to the input voltage you're supplying the amp. Turning up the gain any more could be harmful to the speakers that you have no warranty for.

It'll sound good, but I really doubt 140+ w/ that setup. I'd say mid 130

Did the guy have an abnormally large nose, or abnormally large earlobes? 3 JL 12's sealed, with 1 18 sealed, running off a 3k watt amp, did a 138 on our meter at our last competition. If you want to find out for sure, we will be having another competition this Saturday right down the street from tunes at Sound USA. C'mon out. And if you do decide to upgrade in the future, you may wanna check this place out. Tunes has an AC meter, which you very well may be in the low 40's. The term-lab is less forgiving. If I had to guess, I'd say low 30's, legal, on the dash. Like I said, c'mon out Saturday afternoon! Judging from who was there last time, you could place well.

should be fairly loud for a noob setup. just make sure the gains are set correctly. If your setting with the dmm method you don't have to hold it back for break in.

Basically the breaking in is just loosening up the suspension. The break in time is just so people don't run a clipped signal because the sub doesn't seem loud due to stiff suspension, making it less efficient.
