i finally got my spl tested....

[natedizzle 0]

ok so my friend at the audio shop was using his audiocontrol spl meter with and his gates cd in my car....i peaked out at about 51-52hz at 147.7 and on some streatbeat songs i pulled a 147.1,i think thats a decent number for my 2 12 SX's and my nine.1.So are far as in the future for what im gonna do im not sure yet only money can tell...lol So do you guys think thats a decent number for streatbeat or do i need to bump the power up a bit??

[djjdnap 78]

thats a hell of a number.

the nine.1 is 1200watts right?

u should upgrade to that orion 2500d if ur not chicken, bcaa

i'm sure u'll notice the diffrence

[natedizzle 0]

well that amp isnt 1ohm stable right???....before i put anymore power on them (and believe me i want to) i really need a bigger alt cause mine is about 12.5v when my bass hits and if i get something that big im sure it will drop alot more then that.

[djjdnap 78]

its .5 ohm stable

yea deff get a new alt, i'm still in the process of getting one, it doesnt like low voltage and will cut off if its too low.

Are the drivers broken in?

Depending on how calibrated the mic was at the time that is probably 140-144 on term lab...not too shabby.

Sure beat the chit out of a certian member on the place of which we do not speak's MT 10 with a whole lot more power.

haha i know who ur talkin about

[natedizzle 0]

they are still only about a week old so i dont know that they are fully broken in yet but im pretty happy with them now until i can afford a bigger monoblock.

Doubleing power will only gain you 3dB....so unless you plan on compeating I wouldnt worry about the sonic difference. They will get a tad louder and a tad lower as the become fully broken in.

of the install. on getting metered!

in theory...

in reality i've seen scores double on a few hundred watts, and i've seen them only go up a db or so with a doubling of power....

there is much more to it then just adding the power...you have to be adding it at the right time, place...for lack of a better way to say it...

and depending upon voltage, your score could possibly go down with adding power....trust me, i know...lol....

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

M5 what pics do you want bro jeez i allready put them up of the subs in the trunk and everything....?? i tested my elec system to see if it was draining really bad and at an idle it was 13.6 and when i was bumping my best it went down to 12.7

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

decent score, keep working and you should try to get on a Termlab, that is the true test,

Oh and that Orion 2500D is no joke.

[natedizzle 0]

can you put dual4 subs down to .5 that the orion does???.... even if i could get that amp i would for sure need the bigger alt and everything else.

[CBFryman 2]

the lowest 2 dual 4ohm drivers will wire down to is 1ohm.

i am about to install a SX. let see a install pic. i would be interested to see how thjava script:emoticon('')

nice!! not much trunk space huh

[natedizzle 0]

nope cause i never need my trunk so i said what the hell and wanted the biggest box i could get...its about an inch away from the rear speakers and when the trunk closes those 2 bars on the trunk lid fit snug on the box but its all good.

[joebangaa 0]

my torsion bars also rub on my box in my maxima. what are the specs on the box?

[natedizzle 0]

i cant remember.....ill check it out tomm and repost.

[CBFryman 2]

I have torsion bars....under my vehicle.

[mrogowski 6]

Those are nice looking subs. What are they? The boxes look prefab, correct?

Best,

Mark

[natedizzle 0]

they are RE SX hybrids and no the box isnt a prefab its a custom 3piece box i had mad to fill my trunk with no space...lol

[mrogowski 6]

Screw the groceries!

Take thoes back speakers out foo... You might gain a few tenth's just from doing that.
