I am looking to get a system in my car. I was thinking about a memphis 500d
amp two pioneer premire 12s and for a head unit I was thinking about a
pioneer premire 770mp when it comes out. any sugestions comments

Don't get Pioneer subs, they're horrible. If you want lots of bass get 2
Kicker Comp 12's, they go for about $170CAD a piece. For quality you gotta
go Rockford, P212S4, they go for about 200CAD a piece. For an amp, I'd go
for an MRP-350 Class-D which puts out 350rms, which is plenty to pound
those two. The head unit you chose is excellent. The entire system should
put you down just under $!000CAD.
That's just a lower class system, from your first choice I assume you don't
want to blow too much money. What's your budget? Then I can have an idea of
what you can afford.

I am looking to put about 650 into a system in my car. I have a friend that
can get me killer deals from pioneer. That is Why I am looking into their
premire line. Its alot better than the normal pioneer line.
spencedawg
650 isn't very much for a system.. are you replacing the stock speakers
too?
Personally I haven't really noticed any noticeable difference between the
two Pioneer lines, just the name really. If you want go ahead and get
Pioneer subs, wouldn't suggest it because they're quite a sloppy sounding
sub, they head unit is a good choice though. When it comes down to it, it's
whether you want to spend the extra hundred bucks and get good quality
right now, or spend a hundred less and get decent quality then when you get
tired of that, have to buy better ones.
88GrandPrixSE
Pioneer subs arent good at all (unless you get their record holding 12"
SPL...which is over a grand).
The guy who said get the COMP's over the Pioneer's isnt too smart when it
comes to car audio...COMP's are just baseline subs with ultra small magnets
and a small VC and really compete with base lines like the MTX 4000 series
and RF P1/P2.
You want real good subs? Look into Digital Designs, Orion, Focal, Diamond
Audio, Adire, PPI, Image Dynamics and such. Your head unit choice is good.
Pioneer makes an excellent HU.
Memphis makes an excellent amp. But you need to look into Alpine, Kicker,
Hifonics, Zapco, Monitor, Orion etc as well... All make very powerful,
clean and reliable amps. Rockford Fosgate amps are horribly known for being
unreliable nowadays and I have seen this to be quite true.
thunderbird1100
Comps are decent subs for the price, that's what I was stating. I have 5
subs ( 2 Rockford HE2 1 HX2, and two Kicker comp-vr's -- hits 190db)
pounding in my car and 8 speakers all running off 5 amps and powered by a
180amp alternator, with a 6500 headunit, don't care for MP3 playing units.
Everything is custom made by myself from the boxes to the amp mounts to the
dash kit. I know a good deal about car stereos.
Why would you name all the high dollar brands when he mentioned he only
wanted to put 650 into the system?
If you're going to get speakers, look into concept, they don't handle bass,
but your subs will take care of that, and they have excellent quality sound
for the price, pair of 6x9's for about $130 on sale usually. You could also
look into Alpine Type-S's, they're okay for the price too.
88GrandPrixSE
Now we all know you're full of shit. Stop lying kid. 190dB's is well above
the IASCA Audio RECORD and there is now way you can even come close to that
with 5 budget-midrange 12" subs when they are using custom made 18/24/30"+
woofers. You might be in the 150dB range pending what amps you have. You
have no diea WTF you are talking about when it comes to car audio or cars
in general from looking at other posts. I bet you have no idea how many
dB's it takes to make a system twice as loud as it was before. You charged
somebody $400 for an alt. pulley and $600 for an alternator for a
Jetta(obviously made the hell up when you can go to your local autozone and
get an alt. pulley for $50 and alternator for $100). COMP VR's are good if
you waste your money on $100 subs worth $40. Or, you could get a 12" DVC
Volfenhag for $50 and have dual 2.2" VC's, all aluminum construction,
140+oz magnet, and 500rms power handling (really 600-650rms). All those
brands have lower end models and can be obtained for a great value. Just
stop posting while you're as deep as you are... People on here aren't as
gullable as you wish we were.
190dB's...LOL still cant get over that... :laughing:

Just for kicks to prove my point...
Pioneer had a F250 in the Extreme 9+ class in 2003 with NINE 12" TS-W5000
subs (these things have 320oz magnets) and had 36 amps giving the big subs
115,000 watts of power (probably about 112-113k more than you're giving
yours) and he hit 173.3dB's. So much for you hitting 190dB's with 5
budget/somewhat mid range subs...

IN reply to the comment bout pioneer pro speakers not being very good i
would have to disagree with that, im running the TSD160R's straight from my
HU and they give a hiding to many of my friends cars who have 6x9's in the
back aswell as 6"s in the front. High quality sound IMO. they are a good
buy to i think as other brands i have seen where $100NZ more for the same
thing.

Pioneer Premier speakers are the exact same things as the regular line. All
they do is take the Pioneer logo off the dust cap and slap on a 'Premier'
emblem. Don't believe me? Check it out for yourself...notice they look
exactly the same and have the exact same specs. I'm not saying they're BAD,
just a complete waste of money when there are 25 other brand names that are
much much better.

Notice even how they have the EXACT same MSRP... :laughing: Such a good
marketing ploy to trick people into paying $10 more for the same product
thinking they are getting something better because it says 'Premier'
instead of 'Pioneer' on it.

undefinedI have a 2000 Nissan Altima and recently put in 180 watt infinity
6 and a halfs. I am lookin to go top of the line...or atleast the limit to
what my car can withstand. Im asking for help on the top 5 subs, remember
money is not an option. The top amps would help...and im relatively new to
the car audio so if u guys can help out a little on like settin me up with
subs and tellin me how much amp power i will need, and compacitors and
stuff. If i have to, I will spend 10 grand.Thanks
shortenjam
Oh no thunderbird1100 hes an expert at just about everything. Cars, Audio,
Performance.. I mean hes only been arround them all his life. But don't
mind me, HE's the expert.
190DB's Yeah right..., you should be slapped by and MECP just for saying
that.
Some Rockford subs and a couple Kickers running off 5 amps 1 battery and a
180amp alternator. Pushing out 190+DB's.... Oh my god... :banghead: .
Woah, $10,000. You'd be better off going to a profesional sound shop
waiving arround that kind of money. Try to shoot at a shop that retails
Diamond Audio, JBL, RockFord Fosgate, Infinity, Kenwood, Pioneer, and any
other high named audio brands. They usually will have alot of better stuff
to offer than just the "normal".
Or you can go to some specialty shops that retail some of the underground
brands as DD, Directed Electronics(PPI, and Viper), IDMAX, Eclipse,
Elemental Designs, Resonant Engineering(May have to get some stuff ordered
from Navada for this one), TREO, BA, MB, MMATS, etc... The list goes on and
on.
DSMer
Whoa, where'd 190 come from, 130 she hits. My bad. Only have 3 now, 2 more
made no difference unless the trunk was open, didn't have enough air to
push. Waste of power.
88GrandPrixSE
So wich is it 190, 160, or 130?
When will you stop lying and come to the truth? Like thunderbird said, we
are'nt that gullable as if we can't see through your shit....
DSMer
'Tis 130 you 'tard. Many systems have the capability of hitting that hard.
I never claimed my stuff what top of the line, I wouldn't want it to be,
almost all of it is hot anyway. Only thing that isn't is 1 sub and 1 amp.

undefinedI was thinking about getting 2 Pioneer Premier SPL 5000 Watt 12
inch subs. I want to get a Sony deck, they have nice LCD screen decks, but
Im not sure which amps to get to power the 2 subs, and my 180 watt infinity
6 and a half inch speakers. Any suggestions?
shortenjam
I want the Sony MEX-5DI CD Player deck, as well as the 5000 watt spl's, is
there a bandpass box or some other box rather than the one that pioneer
offers to fit the subs into, and also i need advice on amps. Do you think
that 2 5000W spl subs will be too much for my altima, if so what would be
the most powerful system that wouldnt overpower my system, even with
dynamats installed in my doors and trunk. Thanks
shortenjam
personaly i am somewhat of a pro and my advice for an amp
get a mono amp id recomend these brands first buy what u can afford and u
will be happy
#1 choice a 1999 series us amps like a 400x itll run u 500 roughly on ebay
if u can find one avoid the new ones there not nearly as great
#2 choice a ppi mono chrome amp
#3 an xtant 1001d if u can find one dont stray from that model
#4 audio bahn the biggest mono block u can find there rating have a little
to be desired wattage wise so id get a 1500watt rms or higher
but rember a system is only as good as the weekest link
dont forget capicators 4guage wire or bigger and please invest in sound
damping materal
theres a lot of good amps out there this is only my personal choice id
stick with :2cents:
logic0010
i have finally decided to go with the JL audio w7's, 2 of them and i will
get the 1000W amp they offer, as well as a smaller one for the speakers. I
will need capacitors. The head unit, im not sure, pioneer has a nice one
for $680 that has 2 screens, and sony does too except its $799. Im also
getting a rockford fosgate q-logic bandpass box. Anything that i should
change or substitute items for this system, and also, is this system ranked
pretty high??
shortenjam
Haven't looked into RE XXX's or Adire audio for subs? I'd take their top of
the line stuff over W7's. Cheaper too.
thunderbird1100
what about the re MT's if i got 2 12" ones can i fit them in a bandpass box
and what amp/s would i need to easily power them.
shortenjam
Bandpass box? Come on be serious. If you get two MT's put them in a nice 1"
MDF 2.5-3cu-ft ported box.
thunderbird1100
Thats the problem with some newb people in audio. They assume ported is the
greatest because everyone uses it for high sound pressure levels. Maybe
he's trying to achieve a nice level of bass without rattling his trunk off.
Maybe he has a bandpass that will give hin the quality thats hes looking
for over a ported or ventedbox. Everything does'nt need to be vented. Many
subwoofers will work just fine in a bandpass or sealed enclosure.
Who the hell uses 1" thick MDF board anywhos? I've never see professionals
use 1" MDF board except on extreme projects. Welcome to the real world,
here we use 1/4" or 3/4" MDF, a 1" piece of wood is a tad bit excessive to
house only two subwoofers.
DSMer
Check the MT's parameters (assuming you know how to interpret them) and
what RE recommends. I didnt assume ported was best by any means in my post.
To me the XXX sounds better in a sealed box. How many SERIOUS audio
competitors run bandpass boxes? I've seen none. Almost ALL top box makers
use 1" MDF for their top of the line boxes ($200-$300). All pre-fabbed W7
boxes use 1" MDF (JL even recommends it, I've seen a W7 install where they
did it with 3/4" MDF and after a few months it CRACKED). BTW- I'm no 'newb'
to car audio, and it befuddles me to see you not realizing 1" MDF is the
standard for top end sub boxes nowadays. I think YOU need to get a 'welcome
to the real world'.
thunderbird1100
Again, you're using the excuse "how many serious car audio competitors use
X" to get a point. Well how many top fuel drag racers have 1000+HP engines?
Does that make it right for every person to own? Again.. you did "assume"
it was the "best" by telling him that its a waste of time to use a bandpass
and that he should go ported. Its not about what you think sounds nice, it
is'nt your car or your subwoofers.... Anyone with half a brain should know
that audio competitions are measured on decibels, and vented/ported subs
produce the highes ammount of decibels. So why would'nt they use ported
boxes...
"ALL top box makers use 1" MDF for their top of the line boxes"
Sure about that? How many audio shops have you actually worked in? I'm
assuming you've proabably met all sorts of top end box builders eh? Yeah,
1" the inudstry standard... haha my ass. Just because you see guys in
magazines with $15,000 setups that have 1" boxes does'nt make it the
industry standard. Compare the ammount of people with just avearage setups
to extreme setups and you're going to get more people with just an average
setup(that almost always requires a simple 3/4"). Its more common to find a
3/4" MDF subwooferbox. Hell I don't even have computer desks that are an
inch thick....
DSMer
You call what they use in competitions 'an excuse' as to why it's becoming
what is the standard for something? Just read over to what you just rambled
about, it makes no sense. Tell me then, what do you go by for the standard
in building boxes for subwoofers that handle 1000+ true watts? Truely not
by what professionals use in building their top of the line systems that do
150, 160 even 170dB's. According to you that'd be 'an excuse' to use what
they use. I go to IASCA competitions and USAC (NOPI) competitions pretty
often now, and I see what they are using all the time.
thunderbird1100
No its not an excuse, its your crutch for justifying why to use it other
than admitting the truth and saying "I don't know shit about car audio so I
just go on what I see professionals do". Wattage is'nt the greatest factor
when deciding on how thick to go with a piece of wood. It really matters
upon the size of the subwoofer and how much air can it actually move.
There is no standard, every box should be built to conform to the subwoofer
and every subwoofer just does'nt need an 1" thick wood to house it. Even a
1" box can crack, it all depends on the builder and how they build it. You
can't generalize a indefinite variable. Subs come in all different sizes,
shapes, power ratings, etc... However, the most common size among audio
setups are 3/4" MDF. That shit you see at the IASCA and USAC comps are all
rich, fancy stuff. Your avearge audio guru is'nt going to have a 10,000
audio setup. Nore will they always use 1"MDF. I happen to work with a girl
who holds the record for one of the loudest sport compact car in the US(she
has an Eclipse GS-T). She used a series of 8 8" RE subs housed in a 3/4"
ported box. Her level was somwhere abover 160DB's I don't remember the
number, but 1" is'nt always the best application.
I'd have to warn some people take wieght into consideration of what goes
into their trunk permanently. Not everyone wants a 250lb 1" box in their
trunk...
DSMer
Haha, a quarter? What kinda subs do you power? Run them off your HU? No one
ever uses 1/4", the smallest you will ever see is 1/2".
3/4" is by far the most common, but, you're missing the point Thunderbird
is trying to make. No matter the case, 1" will always be better than 3/4",
2" better than 1".. the bigger the better, it's just an issue of
practicality. Tbird is stating that 1" is better than 3/4", which is very
true. It would only add probably another 10 lbs to your whole set-up so
it's nothing very big either.
Also, every sub has a box they sound best in. For MTX I believe it is
indeed a ported box. Usually it will state in the manual for the subs which
is recommended.
88GrandPrixSE
That 1/4" should be 1/2". I'm glad you caught that. Thats common simple
mindness. If its bigger it should be better. A 1" box is'nt better than a
3/4" when all you need is a 3/4" box. You can't just say cuz its bigger its
automaticly better. Thats just not true.... Using more than you need when
its not needed is not better, its called a waste of resources.
Why run a 2 gage wire when you only need a 4gage?
DSMer
Box's job is to deaden the sound passing through it, and to make a better
seal, doesn't take much to push 3/4 to its limits. I've seen 10's actually
bend 1/2" boxes (as in.. when they pound the sides of the box would buldge)
so that means it'd be pretty close to pushing 3/4, so why not just go 1",
you can't go wrong. I do agree though, it's not necessary most of the time,
but it will always be better, maybe almost impossible to tell it's better,
but it will be.
Goddamn pigs just gave me two tickets, those ****ers.
88GrandPrixSE
I think that in this thread a few people got served, but only a few got the
answers they wanted becuase there was so much bickering going on. You both
know what you know, your probabaly both professionals with 2 different
professional opinions. Altought i must say that hunderburd has helped me a
bunch with my car audio and waws definitely right about the choices to
make.

Now I remember why I dont make a point with you -> :banghead: .
thunderbird1100
say im getting two audiobahn 15 in. subs with a peak of 4,000 and a RMS of
2,000. what would be the cheapest amp setup to push them.
Accord_Man
NO!!!!! Audiopawn makes shitty stuff. They arent called chrome turds in the
audio world for nothing. What's your budget for subs and i'll point you in
the right direction.
thunderbird1100
i just want two 15's with at least a max of 3,000 watts each.
i would spend no more than 300 each on them.
i have no idea what kind of amps to get.
Accord_Man
Wattage doesnt mean shit. Some subs sound better with 300rms than others do
with twice that power. It's how efficently the sub uses that power.
You could get some Digital Designs DD3515d's (what i have) for 300/piece.
Some others to look into: Adire Brahma, Eclipse Aluminum, Image Dynamics
IDMAX, Resonant Engineering XXX, Ascendant Audio Avalanche and Orion H2 are
a few to start out with. As for amps, well, we'll get their after you pick
a sub setup.
thunderbird1100
I think I'm gonna go with the Digital Designs 3500 series 15'" subs.
Now to the amps.
what website could I get the DD3500's, I can't find 'em anywhere but on the
DD website.
Accord_Man
You have to buy direct from DD. You'll pay about 30-40% off the listed MSRP
price. If they try and sell it to you for MSRP tell them you wont pay that
and they SHOULD take the price down 30% at least. I personally have the
DD3515d's, you'll love them.
OKAY, amps... Since each DD3515d can handle 1000rms I'd throw them in a
vented box (tuned to 45hz) and give them 2.5-3 cu-ft each to play with. As
for powering them, look into getting a Hifonics BX1800D mono amp giving
them about 900rms a piece. www.onlinecarstereo.com has this amp for an
INCREDIBLE $299 (this amp has an MSRP of $800 and is worth every penny at
that price). I'd pick it up fast for that price, they wont last long
(reason why price is so low is because it's last years model).
thunderbird1100
head unit? I need it to play MP3s
Accord_Man
Look into Eclipse (5000/8000 series), Alpine (9830 series), Panasonic
(8000/9000 series) and Pioneer (800-900 series). All are about the same
feature wise. It's up to you which one you like asthetically.
thunderbird1100
Thx a lot for all your help, I was one lost 14 year old in the way of car
audio.
Until now
Accord_Man
what kind of enclosure should I get thunderbird?
Accord_Man
Ported definatley. You really should build your own (it's not that
difficult). But if you must by pre-fabbed get an Obcon or SubZero box.
thunderbird1100
Hey Short. So far you have the right idea. Go to as many forums as you can.
The more non-idiots you talk to the better. Since money is not an object
you need to decide what kind of system you want. To me it sounds like
you're looking for a system that will not only sound bad a$$, but will turn
some heads and piss off the neighbors. There are alot of car audio companys
out there. I would suggest Eclipse (by Fujitsu Ten) or you could go with
JL, Kicker, Alpine, Audiobahn.... DO NOT get sony, pioneer, or kenwood For
what you want to do it would just be a waste of money. You want to make
sure your amps have class "D" circuitry.... gosh, if you're serious about
this e-mail me, otherwise id be here all night. Put some thought into it.
stevebro6510
you better be ready to lay down some serious cash if you want to push two
2,000 watt speakers. If you want cheap go to Ebay (of course).
stevebro6510
OR
I have an even better idea. He could enlist the help of audio professionals
at a professional audio shop INSTEAD of listening to said idiot on an
internet forum such as yourself. I think that solution works alot better
than taking you're advice about what to get and what not to. For all you
know, he could have no idea was a class D amp is. For all I know, you could
have no clue either... Either way it goes, if he was serious about spending
that much money (Wich I can assure you he is'nt) he'd allready be on his
way to "X" audio shop to get the help his thousands of dollars are
warrented...
DSMer
Are we talkin about the same stuff. I said audiobahn, you said
audiopawn.
just wondering
Accord_Man
Yes, same junk from the same company. They've earned that name, cheap shit
they slap chrome on, overrate it doubly and then charge triple what it's
actually worth.
thunderbird1100
Im new at the whole car audio thing, but a friend of mine gave me a 12"
infinity, and i wanted to know if it was worth trying to get it fixed
somewhere. And if so where should i go to get it fixed? My friend said he
has no idea why it doesnt work.
RedEclipse
yeah, I knew the amps would cost a lot, but I've changed my mind.
I'm getting the 15 in. Digital Designs 3500s that thunderbird helped me out
with.
The Hifonics amps aren't that bad when it comes to price.
Accord_Man
Hey thundurbird you told me to get a Volfenhag 12 aluminum. After
consulting my dads brothers co-worker (owns a chain of car audio stores) he
said Volfenhag was excenllent, i just got mine in yesterday. SO thats
where i begin... I only have thatn 1 12 and im gonna get my obcon enclosure
soon (any specific model u recommend). Now the amp, you said get a
HiFonics, so if i only have that 1 12 and my replaced stock speakers in the
front door and rear deck which amp should i get, if possible any model you
recommend, (in total there are 4 replaced speakers plus the sub)

Go Alpine Hu, Jl subs and amps, and mb quards mid range. monster cable for
your wireing.
and do the research for yourself. dont go to a shop and ask for their help
and expect them to be honest. i have worked in audio retail (i was in home
audio) the best to them is what pays the best commission. do the research.
then go around to the different retailers. talk to them. after you do your
research you will know who is fulll of shit. find out any more info you
can. then decide on your purchase. if you have a friend that knows car
audio then have them help. the worst thing you could do though is flash a
wad of cash at a retailer and expect them to "hook u up" cause all they are
going to do is hook u up with "their" most expensive shit. dont go to
fry's. all their stuff is mid range. good guys caries mb, jl and alpine.
alpine is arguably the best hu manufacturer. as far as sound is concerned.
speakers i havnt found a company yet that get as solid reviews. every
seems to have a different opinion.

Box - http://www.cardomain.com/item/OBCGZ31812 Would work good with it.
High quality box (3/4" MDF) and it's on sale right now ($69).
Amp - Hifonics BX1000D would work perfect with a single 12" DVC Volfenhag
(wire it to a 2-ohm load from the Dual 4-ohm VC's to get 500rms).
www.onlinecarstereo.com has it for $239

I know you take the two wire leads from the HU and wire them to the input
part of your x-over then wire one set of wires to your tweeter and one set
to your woofer from the ouput side of your x-over. I have a 98 accord with
6 factory speakers. I was wondering whether the factory sytem has a
crossover (so it would be two wire leads), or whether the wiring harness
has additional speaker wires for the tweeters, or if the wires double some
were to accomidate the tweets. Any help would be much appreciated!!!
Thanks,

You can get better deals on eBay for amps/subs than from any company. You
can get the Hifonics BX1205D for about $225, that's where I'd suggest
buying your stuff.
thunderbird1100, I'm interested in Volfenhag stuff, I'm bored of my
Kickers, right about now, I wanna jab a fork through them right about now.
I'm not looking to spend a lot of money at the moment, for I'm painting my
car by the end of this month. I know I can get two 12'' Volfs for about $80
+ shipping (gives you an idea of what I'm willing to spend right at the
moment), I just don't know anything about the company. Could you lead me in
the direction of which of their subs are the best quality, bass isn't an
issue to me, I'd rather quality over bass anyday. Or a different company
even? Quality > Bass
88GrandPrixSE
I never liked Ebay and you can find audio stuff at onlinecarstereo.com or
ikesound.com for just as cheap. Plus you know you WILL get great customer
service and have at least a 1 year warrenty buying from those places (on
top of knowing you wont get scamed).
Volfenhag is a VERY known company in Europe (German brand, known as 'The
German Concept'). They arent very known here in the states which is kind of
cool to me since that makes them sort of 'sleeper' subwoofers. An
interesting fact is that a company called Performance Tekniques makes the
same exact woofer as the Volfenhag DVC red aluminum. These are more SQ
woofers than SPL which is just up your alley. The woofers in particular I'm
speaking of are these...

You can get the 12" at ikesound.com for only $49. I recommend running a
Hifonics BX1000D or that newer BX1205D to them (1ohm load).

u all are so stupid. you think that you have the best but you dont. Wait
till you start getting the big stuff like me. I have 4 solo x12 with 8
amps.2000w appeice. The system all together is 16,000 watts. None of you no
anything. you all think you have 150. db but you dont because all your
stuff is shit. and its all probably bought from best buy.
you all are so stupid.
johnk2k
Yes, they sell Orion, Digital Designs and Diamond Audio at Best
Buy....HAH
Metered the DD's at 151-153dB's on the dash several times.
Although I'm pretty sure you're lying...
A. Because you cant spell worth a 3rd grader
&
B. Because you put general stuff down like '2000 watt amp' when any self
respecting audio nut who owns a supposed $4k worth of Subs alone would say
WHICH amp and list it as RMS.
But if you made the plunge in buying those worthless subs have fun
replacing the cones every 3-6 months.
thunderbird1100
i hit 250 db and i is true u ****en idiots. i will kill u all with my subs
johnk2k
And now is when you leave these forums since now you have zero credibility.

thunderbird u are gay cause i have the best subs. i have two jackhammer in
my hummer. that is 24 thousand watts dumass.

Holy 24 thousand watts, i didnt know they could get even close to that
high. Where did you get the money to buy a Hummer and a system like that?

250dB's would probably peel your skin off, literally. It would surely bust
your ear drums in a millisecond and explode your eyeballs. This guy still
hasnt taken my advice that he now has zero credibility and just needs to
leave before he digs an even DEEPER hole.
Pioneer had an F250 they did with 9 12" Pioneer top of the line SPL subs
and ran about 115k watts in total and hit 173.3dB's. He wouldnt even come
close to that with 4 18" subs and 15k, 25k or even 50k watts of power. At
best with 25k watts and 4 18" Solo X's you probably wouldn't see above
163-165dB's.
thunderbird1100
is it just me or are the jackhammers not for public sale yet??
yeah, that guy is full of BS in regards to 250dBs with 2 subs, especially
at that low of power. you would need at least 200kw worth of power, and
somewhere in the range of 20-30 subs to even try to beat the world record.
The Pioneer SPL truck, as thunderbird mentioned, holds the current record,
and look at how many subs and how much power it took to get there...
thats not even going into the space, or how to get that much power for that
many amplifiers.
@tbird - exact wattage of the truck is 115,200

yeah, but you still contradicted yourself ... you gave two values that were
totally different for your power output (or rated capacity more likely).
I've got a mate who is an acoustic and vibration engineer. I might ask him

Ok, read this and then tell me if you still want us to believe you:
The National Campaign for Hearing Health's Toxic Noise Guidelines (exposure
times and decibel levels that cause hearing loss)
85 dB 8-hour period
85 - 90 dB 2-hour period
90 - 100 dB 1 to 2-hour period
100 - 110 between 2 and 15 minutes
110 - 120 less than 30 seconds
130 dB ANY EXPOSURE WILL RESULT IN PERMANENT HEARING LOSS
ps: I didn't make this up, it comes from
http://www.lowertheboom.org/trice/safedblevels.htm
I don't really care if you've got big subs (compensating for something
maybe?), but if you're going to try and abuse people, at least do it with
something slightly resembling fact.
Anyone else agree?
windsonian
ya but you guys dont even know. you dont know about subs or amplifliers. i
build them and i can easily make one. you all are dumasses cause you dont
even know what you are getting yourselfs into when you deal with me. oh ya
i cant get banned dumass.
johnk2k
It's true that 130dB's is the threshold of pain for hearing...although many
upper class systems do reach the 150-160-170dB range. I've personally never
seen/heard of a system (in a car) breaking into the 180dB range. 250dB is
absolutely absurd and we all know he's lying straight through his probably
crooked teeth.

You all know he cant answer ANY questions you ask him. I agree that he's
probably just some young kid trying to 'show' off. The only way (and even
this could give him trouble) he could possibly build an amp (from how he
talks, he may not know what an amp is) is by putting the case or a dust
shield on it. I vont see how he's helpeing/helped here so if he could be
banned then he wont be missed.

im back ****ers. did you miss me. i told you that you could not bann me. oh
ya i know alot more than all of you do about subwoofers. i do hit 250 db.
you all can come listen to it. Untill you do stop talking shit.

Why hello again, you must really like us all. Where about are you located
then incase we do decide we want to here. I dont think anyone will really

dont know audio, so thats 1 down, everyone else to go. :mrgreen:

Well that made sense :screwy: We're the ones talking shit :laughing: You
would be going deaf with that many db's so do the math :evil:

prove it ... until then, stop talking sh!t yourself.
all you do is say "i know more" - well tell us some of what you know, then
we can give you the respect you've earned with your vast, vast knowledge of
car audio systems, or as you like to call it "subwoofers". (I reckon 250dB
would sound good with only subs :screwy: )
windsonian
Do you mean 250dB /5? That would probably be more accurate there buddy.
250dB would make your head explode(well, at the extreme end of the
scale...but for sure your ear drums would be shattered)
dodgerforlife
180 db is a rocket blastoff i believe. That would make you quiet deaf...
Stem
well you can come listen to it when ever you want. i live in Florida and i
will prove to you all that i do hit 250 db and stop talking shit why dont
you come down and listen. until you do you still know nothing.
johnk2k
Well, given that the world audio record for dB is somewhere in the 190dB
range... and 250dB has doubled the noise level 6 times (read it again...
and think about it)... 250dB is sixty-four times as loud as 190dB. So,
any exposure to 130dB will cause permanent hearing damage... and 250dB has
doubled the noise level 12 times over 130dB (read once again) 4096 times
as loud as the thresh-hold for permanent hearing damage.
Noise level doubles with every 10dB... so... We'll say our starting noise
level is X. So, at 130dB we have X amount of noise. Then at 140dB we have
2*X, then 150dB we have 2*2*X, and so on... at 190dB we have 2^6*X (2^6 =
64). Continuing on our little journey from 130dB to 250dB we get 2^12*X (X
still being our noise level for instant hearing damage) which equals
4096*X. So, you expect us to believe that your car creats almost
Four-Thousand-One-Hundred times the amount of noise that is necessary for
permanent hearing damage...
Sorry... we're not all as stupid as you want us to be... I hope you're
enjoying your miserable little existance.
Bino
You know, if you really spent all that money on your system, I'm sure it'd
be pretty easy to put together a video for all of us to prove what you're
hitting. Even better yet, some pics maybe? So how about, until YOU
provide any kind of proof, shut the hell up, grow up, and get a life.

how are you going to prove it? what do you use for measurement?

If he has as much money as it would take for a system like he's claiming,
he could easily get a db gauge, put it on the dash, turn his system on, and
take a pic of the gauge to post here.
Juhosaphat
well, its highly unlikely, but there is outlaw...subs that hit 140 in comp
have done 170+ in outlaw(seen it happen!)....but you would have to have the
world record holding vehicle in straight comp to even dream of hitting that
in outlaw...

Where'd he go since we asked for proof?
Juhosaphat
It seems to take him a couple days. I think its cause he's trying to think
of a come back, or another way to tell us to go to florida and listen for
ourselves of we want proof.
car_crazy89
Or maybe he's busy working on the car to add another couple of dB's
:laughing:
windsonian
I don't honestly see what good it's going to do for one of us to go listen
to his stereo system. Has anybody every listened to a car drive by and
immediately known that it was 98dB (or whatever). It's not like a color,
you can see a color and know what it is. You can't hear a tone and know
how loud it is on a dB scale.

No, you wont know for sure but you'll have a rough idea he is right or
close if it makes you ears bleed, eyes burst and you start convulsing.....
oh and cant forget the part where the car just falls apart from vibration.

windsonian
Hello all, hope you don't mind if I stop by to drop some bombs on the 250db
wonder boy :laughing: Anyway, wonderboy, would you please tell us the
sensitivity of your subs that it only takes 24kw to reach your seismic
testing volume. That range is achievable, but I believe never before in
air. Some submarines use sonar that can "ping" that loud, but sound
transfer through water is much more powerful, as water is a better
conductor than air. In order for your system to reach 250db with a meesly
24kw, your subs would be sporting a spl 1w/1m of around 200db, you gain 3db
of output for every time the input signal doubles. i.e. you gain 3 decibels
when you go from 1 to 2 watts, and 3 again when you double to 4watts of
input. If you infact are pulling off this more than impossible feat, call
(guiness <--sp?) until then, bug off, everyone else on this thread seems
intelligent and serious, why be the black sheep, there are places for your
input, and this doesn't have the feel of one of them.

Nice car and stereo (although I'm not a huge Audiobahn fan at all
:laughing: ). My friend sports a 95 LX T-bird with a simple 2.5" cat-back,
warm air intake, 70mm TB (i believe) and new plug wires. All he has as far
as stereo goes is a Panasonic CQ-C8400 and 5x7 Alpine Type-R's (F/R). It's
pretty good sounding (I love the Panasonic HU's) but he needs to amp the
5x7's badly.
My system(s) are down in my sig, well one is the other is in my 300zxtt but
was too long to list in the sig so if you're interested in knowing just
ask.
BTW - I've always wanted to know how the Alpha 800 series compares to
everything else. I was looking into putting the 800 series speakers into my
300zx but went with alpine instead because I know they sound good. Also
have you ever heard an Alpha 800 series woofer? Because I had a deal to get
a 15" 800 series for only $160, instead I spent about double that on an
Adire Brahma (a better sub no doubt, but twice the cash and i probably
could of did just ifne with the 800).
thunderbird1100
I absolutly love the warm sound from the 800's but the solid state tweeter
protection cuts the tweets out just before my ears start to bleed, I think
this is to early. Once installed, there is a noticable gain in sound
quality bass guitars were much more detailed and even the slide of the
players fingers was smooth and in place. The only problem was the tweets,
they sound beautiful till they cut out, I'm running 80 rms per Alphasonik
and the tweets cutout about 70 percent volume. The Mid-Woofers run with
extremely low distortion all the way up. I didn't care much for Audiobahn
till year before last, I got to play with a High Excursion Series, Put it
in a Competition SPL Box with .02 Port Mach and run 450 watts into it (this
was in a Geo Tracker by the way) and got out staggering from jarred static
equilibrium. Then, last year I moved up to a 10" Immortal and hit it with
1800 watts (2 x 900watt mono's) and managed a 138db @ 45hz. So I thought
I'd try some Flame Q's, and for anyone who hasn't heard these things in a
proper box, I reccomend you check out the SQ. I have a flat pass from
22hz-150hz. There is a noticable SQ loss when each sub is receiving higher
wattage than they need to peak... about 800, but up to that point, they are
the closest to audiophile I have ever used and for the price it's hard to
go wrong. :thumbs:
Audio-Phill
Simply put and to the point, Brama's would bully the Alphasonik :hi: , but
The sound quality would be comparable. Have you checked out the Soundstream
XXX, 8500rms 15" with your choice of coils. I'm going to try a Mayhem 900
Series 12" Alphasonik, they say it can hold 2200rms... We'll just have to
see about that! :laughing:

confused. can you pros help?

windsonian
Well, my T-bird also had a factory amp, but instead of fooling with trying
to find a way around it, I just bypassed it completely and installed new
wiring with the old, I never use the power of the head unit, I haven't
found one clean or clear enough to please me. I just run amps for highs and
low's and power all of the speakers off of external amps. The wiring can be
a hassle, I had to take off alot of panels to get to places keep everything
outta site, but when finished, the sound difference is gratifying. I have
no ametuer-recognizable audible distortion. Somewhere in the .07%
electrical, and typical driver cone distortion for aluminum. Audiophile as
not can be.
Audio-Phill
Running wiring for amps is a pain in the ass. Thats probably the hardest
part of the whole install.
I agree with you in regards to amping the speakers, but sometimes that
isn't always an option(car itself, cost). If that's the case, then a
slightly higher-end deck can still provide pretty decent sound for
speakers. I run concept speakers with a Pioneer Premier deck, and the sound
quality is just fine. I only notice distortion when the volume levels reach
near ear-bleeding highs. And very little at that. I guess having the decks
EQ set custom helps that, and having the HPF running at 125HZ...cleans the
sound up quite a bit.

car_crazy89
I don't mean to "drop a bomb" on anyone, but i believe on earth (no water,
just plain old american air), you can only achieve 194dB..... period...
if you wanna go on the moon and do dB Drags then u might get a lot more,
but i believe that 194 is the limit for our atmosphere.
Im doing pretty good, im considering that Alphasonik Mayhem PSW912 and two
PMA1200DA's to power it, eventually, what do u guys think?
Here is my current setup:
Deck: Pioneer DEH-P7600MP
Subs: Two Audiopipe TXX-C1200's (700RMS each)
Amp: Alphasonik PMA800DA (1640 RMS at 1 ohm)
Cap: Audiopipe CAP-100 (1.0 farad)
Box: Custom 3/4" MDF 3 cu.ft. box by H&K Audio (Kendallville, indiana)
Right now im hitting mid 140's.....
I figure if i save up cash for a PSW912 and two linked PMA1200DA's (2470rms
at 1 ohm, each) i could do pretty good.... Of course i would only use both
amps for a burp, not continous. just one for normal play.
What do u guys think? Think it will be loud or no? Any good for SQL? I hear
it only responds 45Hz and up.....
Kyle1058
man if u want something loud then get two Kicker SoloX 12's(10,000watt Max
and 5,000watt RMS). half fun layin down the money for them and the amps to
push them.
Mx3Kid
Ok first off, I don't have $1100 a sub,,,
second off, I don't have the airspace for two of them, hardly one, and
surely not a big enough box (or box space) for two.
With my trunk car (97 monte carlo) I think it would be better to get a
PSW912 Mayhem? Or one or two Kicker L7 15"? What do u guys think?

lmao!, after reading this thread i feel as if i know absoloutely NOTHING
about sound systems and car audio gear.. i just buy the cheapest mp3/cd
player deck for my car and i get a couple of 6x9's from my mate troy for
cheap, lmao!... wow.. i should do some research!

And you'll probably get a half decent sound ... as long as you don't try to
crank it up to scare the birds out of trees. If you do that, then you'll
notice your lack of controlled amplification.

do you want to hear anything beyond your 30's?.....hehehehe
seriously though, sounds like your looking for an SPL setup. I wouldn't
narrow it down to two subs. You want to look at a few things when building
an SPL setup - sensitivity - RMS and Peak Power handling - frequency
response(some sound louders then others(i shit you not) - xmax excursion
helps too...
id research some more, but it seems you have your heart set on one of those
two subs. so a few questions - how much room will they need to be
efficient, how much power do they need, and can you supply that?

yep, you don't only wanna go down to 45Hz ... around about 20Hz is when you
start thinking your stomach is imploding.
a guy at work designed an amp (not for a car), and put a passive crossover
in it, that took the bass segment, passed it to the subs, but also passed
it through a frequency divider and passed half the frequency to the subs.
This kept it in the right harmonics, just LLLOOOOWWWEEERRR!! (*you've gotta
growl that last bit for it to make sense*)

haha!, yeah i don't blast a sound system, i'm not all about blowing my head
up, i just like being able to hear shit clearly and having no
interuptions.. actually, you can always have a conversation in my car at a
normal level and never have any trouble hearing the other person (unless
they're mumbling), i think that's more important to me then not bein' able
to hear anythin' but my boot vibrating, i think that's really embarisin'
actually.

The Kicker square subs (L5/L7/X) all have too many reliability issues with
their cones... Plus, they dont sound that good at all (a very overrated sub
in my opinion). Dont get me wrong, they get loud...but might as well buy a
$20 Jenson and give it 800rms because it sounds about the same SQ wise.
The 900 series from I hear isnt bad at all (and a great deal if you can
find one). I havent heard the 900 series but I not too long ago put in a
800 series 15" in a friends car and it was an excellent sub for the price
($169). But in the end Alphasonik is known for their amps the most... Their
High Current amps are simply sick...
Ever thought about getting an Adire Brahma or maybe a Resonant Engineering
SX or XXX. Both are kick ass subs. Also Digital Designs makes some
excellent mid-high end subs (my 3515d's really are one of the best daily
driver subs I've ever heard).
Just to add, if space is a matter then look into the Ascendent Audio
Avalanche or Atlas, they are built to work best in small enclosures.

I have 3 mephis M-Series 12'' subs on a 900 watt pioneer mono block amp and
they are in a 1997 S10 regular cab in a nonported truck box and sound great
I won the freak show speaker competition last year I want to to sell the
whole set-up for 425 if anyone intrested I want to get 3 of the memphis
audios with a 1000 wat mojo amp I strongly suggest mobile milleuim in
greenville nc 252-355-4444

Memphis makes some very efficent subs. The M-class with 300-350rms gets
pretty damn loud.

Get Kicker Amps and Fusion Subs and speakers, they're a great brand. for a
head unit I would get a poineer AVG, it can connect to a VDP (Vehicle
Dynamics Processor) so you would be able to see your car temperatures and
all the other information needed to race.
YES YOU CAN CONNECT A DIFFERENT TYPE OF HEAD UNIT TO DIFFERENT SPEAKERS<
AMPS AND SUBS!!

What do you guys think... This deserve the "No Shit" award of the week?

For sure. It has my vote! :clap:

Just relized ive been maybe posting in the wrong area. I finished reading
this whole thread and nearly pissed on myself from laughing. I know its
been awhile since you guys posted on this thread, and if any of you read
this, please respond so I can use this thread as my stereo questions
resource.

I read it...not sure if you meant anybody, or just audio guys, but it says
any of us, and I'm part of any of us :laughing:
BTW I don't think it will make a difference in which thread you post it in,
but worth a try I guess :thumbs:
chris_knows

by hobo. but yeah anybody's opinion will be at least interesting:thumbs:
