How many db

Do you consider impressive or at least above average? Opinions and or any statistics on the average system.

Just curious I want to know what is considered good for comp purposes and what would you consider good for loud yet musical purposes

Pretty opinionated topic.....

Since your from Michigan and lots of 150db+ people here. I'm not easily impressed with anything. Takes 160db at 25hz to impress me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

But really. If I have to pace my breathing I'm impressed. If you have a huge bandwidth like 20hz-50hz 150db+ that's pretty impressive

Wow. Loudest I've personally heard were 4 15 inch VFLs at full power. 2nd loudest is 6 10inch XFLs. What part of Michigan are you from? I live in battle creek and there isn't anything I've seen within an hour or two of me that would really "impress" me. Biggest I've personally ran was 4 12 T1s black models and 4 12 w7s which put the T1s to absolute shame. SPL and obviously SQ

I get impressed by the total build not just how loud it is.

Depends on the vehicle and setup. 2 18's walled in a civic on 5k doing a 150 not impressive a pair of 8's in a Tahoe on 500w doing a 140 is decently impressive. Burp only setups are cool but I respect being musical much more . I laugh when I hear someone bumping 2 12's with distorted factory speakers. A loud clean front stage can be just as impressive as high tl scores

If you can find enough volume to run a pair of 18's properly in a Civic I'm impressed. I don't think we got more than 9 cube out of my brother's after all displacement. Going to test 3 12's once the warm weather comes back around.

As far as what's a good SPL score it is very dependent on the vehicle and equipment.

I can agree with that.

Depending on the sub 2-18's might be ok in 9 cu others may need as much as 14. If you have surface room I'd do 3 15's depending on motors tc9's I'd do 12's neo I'd run 15's.
