Jeff I don't think he was referring to your numbers! I think it was in reference to his past experience. Don't let this thread get ugly too Loudest setup - Page 2 -- posted image.

The loudest set up i have heard and own is 2 kicker 12" L7 in a built to spec street bass box on a Kx1200.1. 2 rockford fosgate Power caps. Eclispe cd 5423 head unit. lighting audio 300.4 to power highs ( does a good job in my book ) Kicker 6 1/2 and i Hit 146.2. I was a happy camper. Alot of hard work can pay off.

Off topic how much does it cost to get your car metered in db's for. Here in S.D. Sioux falls it is 15.00 at Dashboard Electronics.

Thats about right, most shops charge 10-15 a hour or half hour for test and tune. The meters are about $700 new and parts do go bad and need to be replaced. so they do charge quit a bit. your typical show has an entry fee of $20-$50...depending on the point event it is I.E 1x 2x 3x ut that dosent make any diffrence to people who only hit a few shows a year

I have a question for you honomichi

I have been pondering building the large Kicker recomended enclosure. we currently run our subs in a modified SPL box..I.E 1 of the 2 ports is removed and only one sub in each box instead of 2 that would fit

We are very happy with how tight the bass is and how well it keeps up with rock or metal music, and this is from a guy who used to run eclipse 10's haha

we are not very happy with the SQ or low end bass....what size box did you get? how does it sound as far as clean bass? Does it get low without distorting horribly?

Just wondering if I should give one of the kicker boxes a shot, or just draw up designs of my own

My box measurments are 46" w, 18" d, 15" h for the port size is 2 1/2 w, 16 1/2 d, 13 1/2 h. what kind of subs do you have. Here our some spl types of boxes http://www.teamtoxicbass.com/~menu_designs/. your car plays a factor. Put a set up in one car sound different then in a other car.

To answer your questions Jeff. I like how my setup sounds. The bass is clean. Misses beats here and there.Not much. so far never heard any distorting. Personally every body perceives sound different what you may think sounds good guy next to you might hate.Prob. why there are so many companies. I have a pair of 02 Rockford Fosgate Hx2 in a sealed box ( rec box size) SQ was only ok in my book. but the kickers sound way better to me.
