are the Memphis 15-PR104D 10's as good as they make it sound?? i read two different things on how 2 of them produced up to 145 db's. but is it possible...they are like 60 dollars a piece?!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

 
They sound good, but I dont know about hitting those numbers.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

really? i was considering getting two since i wanted to get ride of what i have now.. would that be a wise decision or what

 
Subwoofers are only glorified air pumps. The box, children, is where those numbers come from //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
simply stating a sub hit 145 dbs doesnt exactly mean much //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif. What mic, where was it positioned, what box, what car, and on and on and on.

 
If I could make everyone in the car audio community understand one concept it would be that subwoofers and amps are the least important part of any install.

Worry about your enclosure first. If your enclosure sucks, no sub or amp in the world will make it sound good. Secondly, your vehicle shouldn't rattle. Sound deadening is VERY important, and while it won't normally help your mic score, you won't have to worry about the noise of your license plate drowning out your mids, and you'll get a lot more respect than the idiot down the road who's back hatch makes more noise than his 4" muffler.

Once you've got those two down, do some research and buy a nice amp and sub combo that won't kill an alternator and/or battery every three months. If I had back all the cash I spent on alternators and batteries before I learned this concept, I'd be sitting in a cafe in amsterdam next month instead of another crappy florida vacation.

 
i don't know how many times its been said but numbers don't mean shit unless its in comparison because the box, car and everything else changes everything. how do you know that score wasn't in the port on a audiocontrol mic?
