Yes you can clear 150 with a Stroker. For years Strokers were the main stay of comp cars. If you eant to beat him go to 15" Stroker. That Chinese driver just won't keep up. If your basic set up is not close then reinforecing the box, adding caps, stuff like that won't gain much.

I agree. Base is in the enclosure. Take your time and do your research. Also go around and find some box building programs and play with them. Also I believe the DB Drag record for 1 sub is around 169.

The meter used to measure his setup will make a difference as well. On an Audio Control mic, it is very possible for him to hit a 150. We had a single IDMax 12 do it. But on the newer Termlab (IIRC) mic's, it is highly doubtful he broke 150.

If you don't care about how it sounds, then also check out Digital Designs subs. They are designed to be high SPL one note wonders.

Hello Soccer_aholic,

Remember bigger is not always better. There are many great competitors as well as newbies you will be amazed all you can learn from everyone. Of course everyone has many suggestions some don't really get along with the comment. But, all do agree that to build a great system you must use common sence.

1st - If money is the question then u should start by doing the system by yourself.

2nd - Dismantel the inside of your car, take the covers of the doors, take the seats out, stripe it naked. Then cover the car with carpet padding about 1/8 inch thick (use the one that the persons use the mat in Yoga you will see what I mean) and use contact cement let it dry for 24 hrs it is the same but your not buying the NAME. But if money is not an issue then buy b-quiet 50 sq.feet for $89 or dynamat for $249 peel off and place directly easy and simple.

3rd- Run all your cable accordinally left or right (+ / - and remote) one side. And speaker cables the otherside, the RCA jacks should run thru the middle.

4th- Look at your trunk or hatchback that is the place where ti must be perfect. The mat or b-quiet or dynamat should be placed double. Put an extra battery especially because you are running over 1000 watts and a cap 1.0 minimum.

5th- Make the box 1" thick and embrace it from the inside also place mat ot b-quiet or dynamat inside that will help alot. That is all can not say much about what components should you place since are many out there. I might like one brand name while you probably will not like it.

6th - Remember that the amp should have at least 105 db of THD it will cost you money. Yet, you will never be dissapointed in the investment you done.

Goodluck,

Keniwi

Hi,

Going back to Answer #6 I made a mistake the 105 dB should be "Signal to noise ratio" NOT (THD).
