Just wanted to throw this queston out to all my homie bass heads. I am new to the forum, I have a 1971 Ford Maverick SPL BEAST. That is what my license plate says, actually it is SPL BST but you get the picture. Will post a pic when i figure out how to transfer my polaroid pics. Picture this: 1" Lexan windows (bullet-proof) bolted into a totally new frame, 3 Wal-Mart batteries up in it (cuz they are the best) 2 alternators (took off power steering, a/c, and other accessories) 2 p. miller cheater amps running hordes of kicker 6X9 subwoofs. i got one of them desibul meters and it read 193db!! i know it sounds high but

uh...kay.

198dB is nothing I have 2 10's and two pyramid 10000w amps and I'm hittin high 260's man...once you get into that real good stuff like ultra linear and thump then you can hit over 300dB

My meter does not print paper. so i guess that means that your exhaust is a little piece of crap.

maybe more P. Miller cheater amps, those are really great. I use those as well, they produce tons of power and look cool. maybe if u port your box you can hit that number.

Thats nothing I had 2 Type-S 12's.. In the manual it says they do 89 db at 1 watt.. well I had 180 watts going to each one. So 3 db for each time you double the power.. thats like 27 + 89 = 116 db for one.. well I had 2 so I should be hitting at least 232 db!!
