Sorry for how harsh the people are being man. You just have to understand that this is more of a "mature" board. Most people here don't take too kindly to misinformed questions or poor grammer/spelling.

To answer your questions. Depending on the info you gave I would say you're somewhere around 130-140 db's.

If you look at Yuli's sig you'll see that his 150 and 153's make him the loudest Street vehicles in Canada. Common sense means that's a good score [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

If you want a good estimate post a picture of your install on the board. With the info you have given, you could be hitting anywhere between 120 and 140, and even outside that range for a really bad/good install. You also have to understand that decibels follow a logarithmic scale, so 140 is 10 times as loud as 130, and 150 is 100 times as loud as 130.
Anything over 150 is really freaking loud and will make you feel like your head will explode (for me anyways).
A score of 140 is still really loud and will make breathing labored.
A score of 130 is pretty standard street bass that you can feel in your chest and can be heard down the block.

You will get a much better response on this board if you use proper spelling and grammer (not "how good iz dat"). Using proper English will get you more respect and you will be treated in a more mature manner.

1337 speak is taboo on this board.

every 3 db's you go up requires 2 times the power...every 10db is 10 times the power... keep in mind this is THEORY... will change cause of voltage drops, resonances, imedance rise...AND many more reasons!

Well for one, everyone went and rode *** and missed another part of the post!

I'd say the first thing you want to do to make your steez louder is port your box. Do some searching on the site and also on www.termpro.com and find out how to do it, what you need, what freq. to tune to etc.
After that. More power. A larger amp will push your subs harder making them play louder...to an extent.

There's tons and tons of box designs you can try out to make your system loud. It's all trial and error.

Then when u want that little extra boom in your zoom... roll down you windows when u cruise.
(Respect the piece though)
