Anyone here share their decibel levels?

Who here has had their decibel levels read and what levels did they hit?

I think levels of 150 + are some serious systems.

I think the highest level recorded was 177.7 or something nutty like that.

I'm looking into getting a SPL meter (~$100) so it's not gonna be hyper sensitive but give me a ball park figure. I wanna check it for exhaust levels inside and outside the car as well as my new speaker set-up.

My white Talon hits 147 with four 10" ID subs
My red Talon (being redone this summer) would hit 152 with two JL Audio 18W6s
the Corvette.......well

i hit a 147.7dB with my old box and c5 coupe.
... now with my 1999 frc, same set up, diff. box, and only hit 145.6dB

If only jbl bp1200.1's didnt clip at 1Ohm i'd probably be hitting better numbers.

my old setup in my previous vehicle did a legal 149.1. It consisted of 2 JBL 1200.1s on a single Digital Design 9515D in a huge ported box

My old vehicle was a S15 Jimmy, with four solo 8" subs and a Memphis 1100 I hit 145.5 legal and got second place losing by 2 tenths of a DB to four 12s in a Durango. It's been over four years and people still talk about that system of mine!

It is kind of interesting that you, rowdy t, and I all use the JBL 1200.1

rowdyt · 05-14-2005, 04:20 AM

hey knewblew.... or I guess either of yall... what ohm load are your jbl's at.... does yall's clip at 1-ohm?
I have a friend who runs a jbl 1200 also and his also clips at 1-ohm. Just wondering if I was the only one.....

sorry to black_89_vette by the way, I didnt mean to change your thread up... keep the dB scores coming!!!

knewblewkorvette · 05-14-2005, 06:23 PM

yes but, the one in the vette is running at 2.66 ohms.
In my Talon, I ran them at 1.5 ohm or 3 ohm, depending when I had one or two subs.
I did run one 1200.1 into 4 subs at 1 ohm in my truck , the subs gave up before the amp did. That system got stolen

Sorry to here yours clip. Maybe you need this

haha, yes that is exactly what I need, that is pocket change ill probably get a couple of them....

7400 watts at 1 ohm. I think I found my next amp tho because that thing is awesome, it will just take a little time to buy it.
For now I think I will just buy another jbl 1200 so that I have a jbl per sub, that way they will be hooked up at 2 ohm each. My dream was always to hit 150dB so I was disapointed to not reach it yet.
Have you heard anything about hifonics brutus 2200.... its supposed to do 2200 watts rms at 1 ohm. My friend just bought it, but he blew his subs so now he said he will sell to me for $250. Just wondering if you heard anything about that amp.... lol, at another post you did.... where can I get me a q-logic box like yours!! haha

Here is a link to their latest Brutus amps
They look good to me

i first bought my pair back in 2002, ran them for about a year and sold them when I bought the vette. I got them cause they were cheap, reliable and fairly powerful...it is also nice that they put out the same power between 1 and 2 ohms
