Would this hit ?

then the thing that the car place used to measure it was wrong, because thats what it said. and this system knocks stuff off the wall and sets off the stock alarm on my freinds 2000(?) mustang

He's prob refering to the volume level on some Sony head units. I don't know why they list their volume as dBs. The only way to measure dBs is with a decibel meter and they are not cheap.

no it was this thing the guy had. it loked like a calculator with 2 wire sticking out of it. he had us turn the radio up to the regular level we listen to, and set the thing on top of the speaker box. im probally wrongand he wasnt measuring dbs, but thats what he said.

sorry, I was typing when you posted that last one.

You normally measure Db's in the front seats I believe. And if his sonys are anywhere near loud enough then 2 subs that are actually good should be plenty loud and have the sound you want. 10 12's sounds the same as 2. The volume just gets louder. The sound itself doesn't change in any way.

a db meter usually looks like a skinny little microphone wired to a computer and it is set on the top of your dash about an inch away from the windshield or it can look like an earmuff that sticks to your windshield (thats the competition one that they use at the USAC finals in Kansas City). and with 6 12's you can easily hit 150.

 

[Mbrooks420]

It all depends on the 12's and how much power you have going to them. After 145db it gets hard and expensive. There is a world of difference between 147 and 150.

then i guess ill be hitting 150 soon.....

and theres a huge difference between the sound of 2 and 6 speakers. 6 speakers have more BOOOOOOM to them than 2.


and what could he have been measuring then?
