Wanna try something

[k_schutte 10+ year member]

ive watched 2 m1 10 on 1000 watts hit 153.4 and they arent to much better than the pr's so hitting near 150 shouldn't be a problem at all with the right setup.

NO, you haven't don't try to lie to this forum, it won't work...

also if it was a mic meter you are probably more like 136dB on a REAL meter (Term Lab) I metered a 147.8 on the mic meter and only managed a 143.8~ on a TL with a single 15" and 2Kw~ in my cadillac

That is probably one of the worst sounding substages ever to grace my eyes. Memphis power refs off a crunch amplifier, tuned to 50hz. All you're doing there is farting. Get rid of those subs, get a good, solid 1500-2000W amp and throw that power on one GREAT 12 in a GREAT custom designed enclosure, and you'll almost certainly be hitting higher.

So what your saying is sell my entire system and waste money on something that ill have to spend prolly a grand or 2 on a system that still wont be good enough? Honestly if i wanted to spend the money id go with the mojo and the 4k or the 2500 watt memphis amp. I'm keeping the pr's cuz i wanna see what i can do with them. I've heard shit about them from alot of people and i wanna prove them wrong. Ive already done it with some kids that say pr's cant hit over 140. now i wanna do it with ppl that say they cant do over 145. People around where i live talk alot of shit about memphis and i wanna prove them all wrong.

1. you haven't hit a 140 yet...

2. my sub/amp combo was like $400 and I could brake a 145+ with it

3. your a douche, remember you aren't talking to som dumb *** high school kids, a lot of people on here REALLY know their shit so don't try to B.S.

4. your whole setup sucks... you coudl hit a true 140 I am sure but not without help

So what your saying is sell my entire system and spend my money wisely instead of buying "a name" from the local stereo shop because everyone says its the shit

I don't think your gonna see a REAL 150 on 4 gauge wire

your setup will not ever hit 150+ in any kind of box. it is not possible. also if tons of people are hitting 150+ off this old crappy meter then that means the meter is WAY OFF so if you are only hitting a 141 off this way off meter then ur prolly like a 133...and since 3db's is almost twice as loud to the ear u see how far ur setup has to go before ur anywhere near 150+.

to get to 150 go buy a HO ALT for ur car, all 0 gauge wire, do the big 3 buy a few extra batts, 2500watts, a 15" sub that's worth something, build a correct box andseal off the trunk. you will put up a decent score //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Being as respectful as possible, but you haven't seen nor heard a true 150+db setup. No two subs getting 500 watts each are hitting a 153.4 unless they're in some sort of tricked out horn enclosure which would be larger than the car itself. They just aren't. Three things determine your output, aside from the vehicle: speaker type, enclosure type, and input power.

I don't say cone area, because that isn't sufficient. A 10" RE MT will every day of the week score higher than a 15" Type E even though the cone area is vastly smaller. Why? Force. I'm not going to get into how speakers actually work because you probably aren't interested, but just take this away: to make lots of sound pressure, you need to move a lot of air, and that requires a large amount of motor force. That is why most SPL subwoofers have such high power handling. It isn't because you can brag that you can feed 2000W per coil, it's because when you're feeding that much power into said coil, the force being created with the magnet is going to be making some serious output.

Your PRs, as I said, aren't sufficient. If you want to get into the 150 range, you're going to need to both improve your speakers, improve your power source and improve your enclosure. The three things are not independent in the slightest, and definitely all need work to get you where you want to be. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I don't think your going to see a 150 PERIOD on 4awg wire....

If everyoen is talking shit about your subs, don't you think there might be something to it? I personaly have never ran Memphis except for a few of there 4Kw amps but I knwo the owner of the shop up the street from me had a pair of the higher end Memphis 12's on about 1200 watts each and I beat him at the last competition by about 1.2dB IIRC... that was with my 15" and 2Kw~... in the trunk of my cadillac with all the seperation crap still between the trunk/back seat and he had his rear seat folded down and all that good stuff.

Memphis makes solid products that can get you over 150. The power refs are not them. They just aren't good enough, and yes, you will be spending over 1k easily when all is said and done if you want to even touch a 145. You're going to need a decent couple hundred dollar speaker, an even more expensive amplifier, extensive sound deadening, a custom enclosure, PROPER wiring because 4awg is not sufficient (I am using a Stinger 4AWG amp kit on my 8" sub and 300/2 amp in my car) and most importantly, the knowledge and humility to know when you've made a bad purchase and that someone might know more than you do. If you want suggestions, then please do ask. Coming in here saying things that are clearly false isn't going to get you anywhere. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

The best way for you to get louder is to throw away all your stuff and start over with beefier equipment. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
