I have seen all but the clarion, the DD was nice. the 18 solo was insane the team RFs were in a wall so just more of a see type deal the earthquakes didnt impress me that much
Subs dont instantly make you loud. It takes alot of time for Box design and proper power, amps, baterys, alternators ect ect ect

I know that about subs and it is 80 percent install 20 percent product I beleive. Does it really take 50 farads to equal one battery. Just a off topic question ------------- you can't be ahead of the curb if you aren't LIVIN LOUD

What do you mean? Although it's true the battery is often called the largest capacitor in your system, caps and batteries are usually rated completely differently. Caps are rated in farads, with a max safe voltage somewhere in the mix. Batteries are rated in cold cranking amps and amp-hours. There is the Batcap, but I've never used them before. Do a search on google if you don't know what I'm referring to.

nope, the pioneer truck did 180.3 this year at USACi finals on the B and K meter, the most accurate meter in the world....
He uses 12 subs, yes the 5000spl's He uses 8 "Batterys" 8 Kenetik 16 volt power banks
48 amps
I onlyknow this stuff, because I was around when they were rebuilding it friday night before finals, they had problems at DB drag finals the week before
Some of the subs were nearly 3 years old and still running strong!

Sweet, I haven't seen that update on Pioneers website. 180.3 db. What can that be compared to. I know that a jet engine is like 160db. What would be around 180db.

A jet engine at is 130db, 50 feet, on the term-lab....so that is your comparaision.
It is the loudest metered sound, and vehicle in the world

well we cracked ours, but it had a large chip to start and that was at 153.5
I have seen factory honda glass hold over 160DB
But typically when you get over about 163-164 things are going to give out very very soon

dB isnt what makes windows shatter, the air being pushed creates pressure inside the car and when you hit too many low notes at a ceratin time-BOOM shatter. Honda glass is poop in my opinion i did two 12s in a civic at 1,000 watts at 2 ohms total. Rear windows cracked but didnt shatter. that probably only hit about 145 between 155, ive pushed a toyota with a dB meter to 163db and the windows started to bend so we stopped.

163db in a toyota?????? what meter? This I would love to see. I only know one toyota in the world over 160db its a truck with lexan windows and concrete
we are well into the 150's and have not had any problems with factory glass, exect the CRX but it was chipped to begin with

DD is too expensive!!! they have raised thier cost majorly the last year...I have owned some before....I was pretty impressed with the quality of the subs 95 and 99 series for a street setup, but the price is just not worth it.

with the DD 9915's we had a setup in an explorer with 2 SPL amps...z1x3000d's 3 batterys yellow top. And it would street beat, but poorly, 152db
I was not that happy with the SQ but it was loud, very very loud. But not worth the money...honomichl see the other post you were in about your boxes, I had some questions for you
