Didn't some guy in a mercedes benz hit 168 with 1 sub??   Of course he completely gutted the interior and layed 4" of concrete, and a few layers of resin, , but still.... 1 sub could kill.

to answer draggirl, I got a pretty good hookup on kicker sh*t. to do 6 15" CompVRs will cost me $780 and the SoloX will run me $800. Not bad in my book. What do you got in your system??

Alpine guy, 168 with one sub is pretty impressive but not extremely uncommon. It really depends on if it's a legal hit, you know?

I got the power to drive most of the subs out there, one way or another. It's just that I get a good deal on Kicker so I'm gonna give it a try. I'm not sure on which one yet cause I haven't talked to anyone that reaaly knows these two subs and what they can really do.

My last system hit a 155db. I had 2 15" Type Rs and 2 12" Type Rs. All ported and lots of power, 1000 rms to each 12 and 1500 rms to each 15. Very loud but I know I can beat that score. If you want to see some pics of the old system and the score sheet let me know. Keep the questions and comments rollin'.

With the 15s if built the box is built right you should have no problem at all breaking 160. A friend of mine with 4 Alpine R 15s just broke 160db (160.4 to be exact).  

stevdart? what is up with this 142 number?? i personally hit 142.3 db with 2 alpine type R 12s and an MRD-M500.

I think you should try the solo x. Like you said if you hear something huge you will think that they are running a lot of subs right? But what would they think if they look in the back and saw only 1 sub?? that is huge! I think it is almost more impressive to do more with less.

For my next system I am only putting in one Audiobahn AW1208T. I know a lot of people out there don't like audiobahn but i got a good deal. anyways I am running a planet audio PA-2500D into it. My goal is to break 150db in a daily driver, with only ONE 12 inch sub.

but whatever you choose to go with will be HUGE. When it is done post some pics.

I threw that number out there to generate feedback on the question, because I wanted to know, too.  See, it worked!   ;)
Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

OK, here's the way I see this. If you wanna look impresive then use the solo X because its gonna put up impresive numbers for one sub, Real impresive. If you want the loudest solution then use the 6 15's. Its a no contest as to what will be louder. Now what you have to consider is that if you use one driver as opposed to 6 you are gonna fall in a completly different class in competion. So what class do you wanna compete in. If the comps are decided in square inches then you would probally go up against a lot of two woofer cars. If you use the 15's then you are almost assured to be in the highest class. Same goes if the competion goes by power. With your amps having legit ratings and not being cheater amps then you will most likly be in the top class. If the competion goes by groups, ie street, super street, etc then im guessing you would end up in the top end ultimate class being you have a completely revamped altenator system and Im guessing your sub box is gonna be higher then the bottom of your back windows. Just something else to take into consideration. Also on the last competion groups I talked about I am not sure on the rules for classing because we dont have those types of competions around here so check into it.

Sup yall?

Thanks to everyone who has helped with this. I am now more on the 6 CompVR side, but you never know. Has anyone ever heard the SoloX in a ported enclosure built to spec with 5000rms going into it??

Oh yeah, it's a holiday!! Happy Valentines day to all the girls out there, and dudes...lets drink!!

Thanks

Jeremy

To answer Alpine Guys question, yes a guy did hit 168.7 DBs in a '88 Benz. He was using one Orion HCCS15D sub, powerd by two Orion 2500D amps. The car was set up specifically for SPL however, and was barely drivable.

As far as the subs go, I would recommend a MMATS Juggernaut 15" or 18", just my two cents.
