[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8751974, member: 614752"] I don't think anybody would doubt 148.5 outlaw. Certainly nothing to be ashamed of and really if you're happy with the way it sounds be happy. Once you meter sealed at the dash you will understand why claiming that you're "amost" 150 is dishonest. 148.5 outlaw for your cone area and power in a pickup truck isn't unbelievable. 149s sealed on the dash would be really solid and 150+ sealed on the dash would be very impressive. It is unlikely any pickup truck will do 150+ sealed at the dash with that power and cone area on anything that would be doing much in the way of playing music. Very much so. From where I'm sitting I'm HOPING I can gain .5 by getting my amps down from 1.4 to .7 ohm nominal. I'm not expecting much more and if that fails I'm prepared to buy more amps depending how close I get. No but you should say that if you wish to be entirely honest. Nobody is saying this besides you. You are metering "outlaw" which can be significantly different from dB drag "legal". It is important to make the distinction when throwing around numbers. Just go meter sealed at the dash and you will understand the difference and also understand that 148.5 isn't anything like "almost 150". Or just say "outlaw". Nothing at all wrong with metering outlaw if that's how your org does things but it is important to make the distinction when sharing numbers with people who aren't locals. [/QUOTE]
