Over-exaggeration

I do not think it would be hard to break 150 with a pro box. I've seen a pair of L7 twelves in a pro box on ~2k do 146 at the headrest at a Meca show earlier this year. Increase the cone area to 15s (maybe something more spl oriented) and double/triple the power and I think a 150 is quite possible. This was in an extended cab S10 and probably isn't very common, not trying to argue this.

That amp is like 1100 rms on the sub channel and the birth sheets usually say around 1200-1250. Ive got one in my trunk. Think those subs with that amp can do 150? If so Im keeping my amp

If your talking about the Memphis, those amps are quiet nice. But I doubt it will do a 150, not saying its not possible, but sure ain't as easy as buying a probox and 2 12s.

I actually see it being difficult to do a 150 with 1200RMS for the most part.

As you and many others know very well, every vehicle is different, one setup in vehicle A could only yield 140db verse vehicle B yielding 146db, etc. Seat positioning, vents closed, window / door positioning will all vary the score.

But on to my point, I drive a volvo wagon, seems like an easy car to get loud, maybe it is

I have a 8.5cuft ported enclosure with 3 6" aeros, 35hz tuning, 2 15" xcons (subs up, ports back), and using a saz3000d gained down on near stock electrical. I clamped about 1200watts total and only managed a 146.7dB at 40hz.

So here you have a "hatch back vehicle", notorious for being loud, a fair amount more cone area then 2 12s, just about the same power, and a nice big efficient box, and I didn't get near 150...

Living proof right here.

And obviously changes to the box could be made in my setup to improve the score, but were not talking about changing anything here when your talking about using a prefab

Living proof? I didn't see any.

Ok, I'll go into more detail but I didn't think it was actually called for.

Take a CRX, which is known for one of the loudest street cars in the USA. Take a 1200RMS rated amp, not clamped, and a probox with whatever cone area you want. And I bet you can't do a 150 legal in dB drag.

I never said it wasn't possible, but following exactly what was posted on Craiglist, would be difficult. And that's not changing the key part, the box.

And BTW, I've did a 146.4 in a trunk with half the cone area, and 1/4 of the rated power you have.

My point was, sometimes it's not as easy as people think it is to break 150. Apparently you couldn't figure that out from my post.

Yeah, I totally read it wrong.

Glad your sane.

I used to think high numbers were easy to pull until i spent $500 on new subs just to find out i gained like 1 db. Its not thing easy pulling a 50.
