Are there any other people that are big into car audio? I'm curious what setups people have and how many dB you've hit?
Currently I have two 12" JL W-0's with a shitty Kicker Impulse 402 pushing them. I put it on the meter last night for the first time and hit 137.0, better than I thought with that amp only being around 200 watts.
Next week, I am getting two more W-0's installed in a custom box with a Rockford Fosgate 501S pushing them. I cant wait to see how much that will bang.
By the way, if you arent into this kind of thing, just leave your comments out please, I dont need to be flamed.

I used to be real big in the SPL Comps. My old car had 6 12s with 3 MTX 2300X amps, batteries, caps, etc... I pulled of a 164.8 with that setup. In my Eclipse I had 4 12's hitting 158.2 and 1 15 hitting a hair over 160. I'm really not into it anymore but I can offer some advice if you need it, I started building full show cars and got out of the whole bass thing, plus I was going deaf in my right ear.
*Before the flaming starts, remember that the meter is read differently for different setups, this explains why 1 speaker was hitting harder than 4 and so on...It makes it fair.
Sorry about the so late reply...I've been busy. I had 4 Orion XTR Pro 12's in it, custom box and they were all housed in the trunk. I had 2 MTX 2300X amps on them to feed them juice. It was fun, but way too much for an Eclipse.

I have two 8" Cerwin Vega Vega's running off a Kenwood PS300T amp and I hit 132.5 dbs at a show last summer.
You are not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your fu**ing post count.

In my old 96 grand prix, had 2 Eclipse aluminum cone 15's, running off of 2 Directed 1100D's, 2 1 Farad caps, using a box that was ported throuhg the rear deck lid. I think my best was around 152.xx DB's...I was really into DB Dragracing back a few years, but have since gone to power I also have slight amounts of hearing damage too..mostly a high pitch wine in my head if i am in total silence..hehe that sucks..be careful with loud bass guys!
