yesterday we had our first stereo comp at a car show and it was a great turnout. we had 28 people enter. we gave away 7 trophies and 5 of them went to people who had got stuff from us or installed by us. the truck that we put 8 15" american bass DXs in did 141dbs at 19hz which is insane. we have to adjust the port length and hopefully we do 155 at 50hz. but 141 at 19hz is very very weird feeling.

I thought you can't hear below 20 hz anyway? So feeling 141db's of presure, and hearing nothing, that has to feel weird.

no you can hear it when its that loud its just that most systems can even produce 20hz over 120dbs.

i sponsored it at a car show about 1/2mile from my shop. most of the stuff there was rockford kicker but the stuff that got the highest scores was bravox american bass RE and a few kickers did pretty good but they were in boxes that we built. the second highest score was from a single bravox EDX with around 800 watts going to it. it did 143.1 the highest score was from 2 15"kicker cvrs in a sinister box and a kicker 1200 watt amp and that did 145.1

How well did the new xxx do? That 18 didn't get loud?

the XXX did very good for an SQ sub and an SQ box. it did 140.3 at half power. the 18sx got to 141.9 in a street style box. have to mess with it more to get it louder. and no pics or videos or atleast not that i know of yet.
