Broken the 150db Barrier at last

[Evil ICE]

The other day I finally managed to hit the 150db figure with the Clio. Not bad considering its not even an SPL car. The track I used was Rain by Madonna (I know I know). It has some ridiculous bass in it though.

Now its time to have a play with a test tone CD with 1Hz increments from 40-65Hz which I put together this morning. Hopefully ill be able to find the exact peak frequency that tips it over the edge to the 150 mark again. Then I can compete in a few small competitions this year with proper SPL burps.

Just thought I should post something cos im happy now.

you wanna try the new album by lil jon and the eastside boyz, bass heavy!!

 

[Evil ICE]

Ive got most of the lil john tunes off the internet. Very good low bass car rattling tracks but no good on an SPL meter.

Tell me about it !!!

I was struggling to get over 150dBs (TermLab meter) with two Digital Designs 9512 and two US Amps DE-3000 (6000 watts RMS total). That curved rear window does not help at all for SPL.. What type of meter did you use and how did you position the woofers?

The EVIL Ice car is a mark 1 clio so doesnt have a curved window. (Has a couple of exterior mods though )

Still, not a great car for accoustics.

Hey Russ what equipment/setup are you using?

 

[Evil ICE]

The meter that was used for the reading was the old Audiocontrol type which I have been told is around 143db on the new TL mic. I got 150db as a normal run and 151 with the windows slightly open.

All the subs are facing towards the rear as I have always found that I prefer the sound on music and it seems to get louder that way. The HC12s are ported with the port firing upwards underneath the angled Audiobahn amps which helps to keep them cool as well as directing the air towards the cabin.

If there was enough room in the Clio then I would port the 2 L7s and gain around 3db but I have ran out and they are more musical sealed. It drops like a Russian whore as it is anyway which is what the system is all about...I prefer streetbass to SPL.

The US amps are ridiculously powerful..sounds like youve got a pretty tasty system in your Clio...I wouldnt mind having a listen to that.

The system I am using at the moment is the following:
