shoulinpanther Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Well as I stated before when asked about my stereo that I like it loud and loud enough to be ridiculous. Well just for fun I went to a car show with an audio competition to see of I could do any good and I won my class. They went by cubic inches instead of wattage and I hot 140.0db which is stupid loud. It wasn't quite as good as what I hit when I tested it a few days previous which was 141.2 but it was enough to win my class and take second overall. The guy with the loudest over all had 4 12s in an armada with 3 times the wattage that I have and he only hit a 144.5. He of course took first in his class. Here is a pic of my simple system and the guys extravagant armada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tacyon Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 not for nothing .. but that Armada install is a piece of artwork. The design of the cabinet, the fit, the layout. He deserved to win 1st place. And nothing against you, you were just testing the waters .. but you basically set a box in your trunk.

shoulinpanther Posted June 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) It wasn't for show. His is built for show. I only went for the SPL aka the stereo comp for loudness. And he won first in his class for loudness and I won first in my class for loudness. Over all out of all the cars he was the loudest and I was the second loudest over all and were the only ones to hit 140+dbs which for me is really good for a box set in the back So that was the point I was making.

Cdpratt69 Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 That is jet engine loud. Can one actually sit inside a vehicle at those sound levels? And yes, that Nissan is stupid-nice. He obviously has a ton of extra cash to throw down on his vehicle. Either that or he is single with a reasonable job and still lives in his parent's basement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoulinpanther Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 He is a captain in the AF so he has money to spend. Yes you can sit in levels that loud just don't recomend it for long periods of time at that level because it could cause permanent damage. Also you are correct it is jet engine noise loud.

Cdpratt69 Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Mine is obnoxiously loud but only in the mid-upper 120's on the dB levels and it can become quite painful. I just can't imagine what those 140's must feel like. Damn wicked, I can only assume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoulinpanther Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 I don't ever turn my levels or amp gains up that loud unless its for something like a comp I like to leave just loud enough where I can enjoy it. I just like the option of making people go holy shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinzII Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Nice! Can't wait to get mine going. It may be the same as cdpratt's when done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
