124 db

[sangorium]

Well I was at work last night and we decided to play with the db gauge there. I had all my doors open and still managed to hit 124 on the meter

Re: 124 db

Nice man, now close the doors and have a run, what are you running in it. I'm getting ready to put my system in and i kinda want to get an idea of what i'm gonna hit. I got an RE SX 15 and an alpine 1000 watt amp, i hit 145 in my cavalier, but that was ported. well good luck man

Re: 124 db

Its a start. And you know it may sound funny, but most everyone actually gets higher numbers with doors/windows open.

I did 145.2 with my old setup of 3 10" in a sealed box (.75cubes each). STILL haven't had my current setup metered. My local shop refuses to "make an appointment" for it, so they put me on a kinda standby list. I've driven down there twice, just to stand around and then leave....:( Judging from my experience.... I think its around the 149-150 mark... see sig.

Re: 124 db

I got two memphis subs but not sure what kind and a 1000 watt amp at one ohm. could have gotten more but one of the subs sounds like its about to blow soon so I didn't want to turn it up too much. I had the volume at 35 out of 50 and had the bass all the way down. I figured my system did pretty good and I never would have gotten that much before I got my subthump box.

Just curious how do you like Autotek amps, I havn't had any yet and thinking about checking them out sometime.

My current setup.

Deck-
Apline CDA-7995

EQ-
Audiocontrol DQXS 6 channel Eq/DSP

Speakers-
Focal 165V2 front and rear
4x MB Quart RWE254 -Reference 10" subs

Comming next spring, its all comming out in favor of extra space for fuel cell, and other gauges where the radio currently is. Total race mode.

Amps-
Phoenix Gold Xenon 100.4 100x4 RMS 4ohm
Phoenix Gold Xenon 1200.1 1200 RMS 1-4ohm

I run my stuff pretty quiet 90% of the time. I got out of the massive spl days, so I went with SQ equipment. Massive power just to help keep it clean, but when some stupid kid says I just can't get bass out of my subs, I give it a little push with a Bass Meckanic Cd. Don't know what I hit, but it made my friend throw up while he tried to drink a shake today :)

They've been flawless to me. Really happy with them. But why are you looking into them if you're going all race mode soon? And even if you weren't, what's wrong with the amps you have now? I don't think the SQ quality difference would be worth the money. I mean, I could direct you to some nice high end SQ amps..... but they're not cheap by any means....and you also have the polyglass Focal line. Know what I mean?

If I was going to go all out SQ on my stuff and didn't care about what I spent I would have bought McInstosh. I have my '95 3.4 which is going race, I want something a little less for my '01 Firehawk, and I have to get something built for my winter car, and this year will be the last year of my '95 being that.

More or less curious because I havn't seen them yet anywhere and actually heard them. And being I run an audio/video company, I like to know alot about lines I havn't had yet. I am re-working a friends system fairly soon here, and that name keeps popping up in my head, and I'm always a little worried about new equipment.

Just like that other newer company Niche Audio, cant find a whole lot on them.

For the Hawk I think I'm going to buy new Focal's "Utopia this time" and Morel "Supremo" tweeters, and then run Focal subs also "Utopia", change my deck but to what I am still unsure of. Amps either Zapco or Audison I think for myself anyways. I change my stuff out every year or two generally. Maybe if I would stop doing that I could get myself into a McIntosh deck, amps, and components one of these days.

Re: 124 db

K, you didn't mention anything about another car....:)

I sure can't put Autotek against any of those names.... the price should tell you that. lol :p I recommend you give the Utopia components a test drive before you purchase.... I honest to god... liked the Kevlar series better. Think it was the tweeter I wasn't fond of. But since you're using Supremo's.... no worries there.:)

Another company you might want to look at for amps, TRU. Great stuff.

Re: 124 db

I'll drop that name into my mind here. As far as amps go, I was more so looking at something else I can sell to customers and recomend a bit more, after a bit of personal expierience. But sounds like I can more than do that now. Thanks.
