thats not bad score for 1 10

if u want louder find the peak frequency in your car and burp it at the frequecy and i think u will see a ur numbers go up some

i do all my own installing and building, i just never had a stupid loud system and now i kinda want to. i'm not new to car audio but i wanna get a little into spl now. i just wanna be in the 140-145 range with a single woofer, and not have the back of my car dragging on the ground from all the weight. thats all.

i think audioque is the key then.... very impressive.

ok about burping.... when i did the 134.1 score i played a sine sweep(20-60hz) at pretty much full volume where i know is just under clipping. now if i played just a pure sine wave it wouldn't be any louder would it? i can't just go back and set my gains at max and play for a fraction of a second right? i guess i'm saying i don't really know what burping really consists of. lol

i understand but with comparing other peoples scores with similiar subs and boxes and all you should be able to come up with a good estimate. i just wouldn't want to buy all the shit and not even come close. i'm deffinetly not a noob to car audio so i don't wanna hear that.

DUDE.. jk again.

I'm lookin to do a sundown on and hd312...should be real nice. So you could do an hd310 on a sundown. Should get what you want out of that.

i would love to do a 15 in my car but i don't see that happening. i might want a little room to throw something back there someday. so an hd312 or 10 with 2000watts rms will get to about 145 possibly?

very easily

The problem with running sweeps...is more than likely by the time you get to the frequency that you peak at...your voltage from the batteries is suffering. Thats why you never see SPL vehicles run sweeps...Everyone that is serious about competing knows where their vehicle peaks at.

so your saying staying with a 10 in a similar box size with just a little bit higher tuning(since they say to tune the AQ's @ 40hz) with just double the power i can go up about 6-10db's? are the AQ's that good?

ok if u want to get in the 140 range u need more power...get 1 audioque 12 slap it in 2 cubes ported tuned to 40hz ... or if u dont want to spend that much get 1 re sx 15 and slap it in 3 cubes tuned to 35hz( heres where u can get 1 at a decent price http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=231533)

thanks but i just don't see a 15 sitting in what little space i have. the scion tc's trunk is tiny.

 

[tcguy85 10+ year member]

so i guess the real question is would an AQ HD312 in the enclusure they recommend with about 2000 watts rms get me in the 140-145db range. i just want a loud daily driver, not looking to really compete in any organized events. i just want a stupid loud daily driver.

You can get into the 140s with your current equipment //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

You don't need to buy anything.
