Well, here in Pitt we had a car show at my school. They had a free drive through deal errr, "competition" where they put the sensor in your car while you play a song and measure the DBs. I had both the Buicks there so I said what the hell, and pulled the T-type through.
The car has a Rockford CD/MP3 Head Unit, stock 3.5"s, 4" PPI's in the door, Boston Rally by9s in the rear, and 3-10" DVC RF Punches in a sealed box below the rear deck over the axle housing. I have 4 gauge wire to the trunk, a Punch 200IX pushing the 3-10s, and a Punch 40x2 pushing the by9s with a 1 farad capacitor. Everything but the PPIs in the doors and the head unit are about 3yrs old or more, its the same stereo that came out of my old 88 Monte SS.
With a crappy rap song (I know I know) I hit 127 DBs. They had a "bass CD" or "test CD" but they couldnt find it for some reason. They kinda rushed me, so I wasnt able to find the song I wanted that I know would "hit harder" because of my 100+ track MP3 CDs. I was just wondering from a street stereo what kind of number 127 represents. I know its not outrageous, but I like I clean crisp stereo system that hits hard and fast, not that rattles the car apart. Im not that framiliar with DB readings, but Id say I could probably get the system to hit close to 140ish??? I wish they woulda had that darn test CD.......................any thoughts? Just curious. Thanks
