Well we broke the 150 db mark at a show yesterday and though some people might want to check this out to understand just how loud a 150 is.    we were one of 6 car to make it over 150 out of 32 vehicles
Watch the back window flex like mad....We are using 2 12" L7's with 3200watts, power figured by AC current and AC voltage coming from the amp. Everything is located withen the trunk
Here is the link to the video of it

As Dyohn said...  Congratulations.
That's my opinion. Take it, leave it, or correct me.

This is not our loudest vehicle to date, but if anyone has ran a trunk vehicle on a term lab, at a sactioned show I.E db Drag, USACi then they will know how hard it is to get to this point.
Thanks guys, hopefully we will have it up around 151-152db by the 18th on next month.   we have a few things to perfect
Our site has all of our teams current vehicles on it if you guys wanna check it out

Come on Jeff, me and my two flaming chrome Audiobahn Lightning round extra specials hit 189.3 at my local comp last week in my 1978 VW Bus. You clearly dont know what your doing, I could break 240 with gear like that :). For any newbie I AM KIDDING and for any vet, they know that this is the kinda bullshhh we hear every week in comp season. For real though, thats an awsome number Jeff, what kinda reinforcment is done in that vehicle and what kinda box are you using, I couldnt get the vid to load so I dont know if it was in there or not.
double-secret reverse-osmosis speaker-cone-induced high-level interference distortion, Its a killer

Ravendarat the video is also on our team page, the cardomain page listed in my post above
There is no reinforcement done to the vehicle, it is basically a stock vehicle, but it has been sound dampened thoughout most of the vehicle
kirktcashalini, The purpose of opening and closing the door is to help direct the air pressure towards the mic which is being held in place by a "Mic Monkey" the term for the sucker who has to sit with the mic recording the tone.    If the drivers side door is open it typically moves the air to the passenger side before exiting the vehicle.
OOHHH YEA Ravendarat........Bring it.....haha j/k man

Well So far I am the Captain of our team..Team Twisted Image..    It is just a very very expensive hobby, to the point where dropping $1-2000 for a system you might only use for a few months, is common.
9 out of 10 times when a window shatters it is because it has made contact with another hard surface. I.E metal or other hard surfaces.    We have made sure the rear window deck is tightly secured to keep from hitting the window, and that the window cant suck back into the metal in the car.
If you are interested in this type of thing, there are lists of shows all over the US on Soundoff.Org and Term-pro.org
These are the USACi and Db Drag Racing sites
