I respect those who can shell out few bux to help the community as a whole.
Don't get me wrong there are a lot of people here that have paid that i don't entirely agree with. Just because you have paid doesn't mean you are right. It just means that you care about what we have here, and want it to stay.

Not start arguments, which i don't care what you say, is all you do.
If you have learned nothing from my posts you havent been reading them.
Thread closed. This shit needs to stop. i won't sit by and watch our board slowly fall apart or become some shit like CAF. If this shit keeps up Spkrmn, then it's time to go. Quit being an ass and always looking for an arguement and you are more then welcome to stay, we love having experienced people on the board who can help, NOT FIGHT. Us admin have been talking, and this is your last warning.
Yeah it was on a calibrated AC mic, which I never denied, so it had about a -3dB disparity compared to current meterings. If I can find the photo album I'm digging around my room for with the old PPI van photos in it, I *think* I have a picture of the C weighted curve on the RTA and the SPL reading when the car was sitting in lanes in Maryland at an event.. if I find it I'll scan it for kicks and toss it up here.
Keep in mind this was with a 160 watt x 2 RMS amplifier using two 12" subs with 5.5mm Xmax (along with 250wRMS x 2 on 4 5", 4 softdomes, and 4 harddomes) so it's really not that shabby of a score with a perfect curve, even on an AC mic. As for 150+ on a termlab, using the completely sound deadened '66 charger (fastback) which has a crapload of cabin gain due to being a typical "F-body" sort of layout like the Foxbody mustangs, Eclipses etc if I switched from my AP enclosure to a ported box I could most liekly hit 150 in my sleep, then again I'd be throwing ~2600 watts at the subs, and another 600 watts or so at the front stage, so with that much power using two XXX subs, I should hit fairly high even with a lousy box. I haven't gotten over to Justin yet with the car to meter the AP box so I won't even guess at what it'll peak. It's not made for SPL as is obvious, though I am curious just to see what those subs do in an AP enclosure. I need to get the motor, tranny, and rear end done before I put the interior back together though so I won't be doing much this season but building the car just the way I want it. Interior comes last.
I did do one mini-van at work for a customer that can hit a 165dB, but he's using 12 15" subs and pretty much the entire back of the astrovan is taken up by the enclosure and the amplifeirs mounted behind it. It's not the prettiest install, but he just wanted it loud.. which he got. He'd come to the store and we'd hear him coming about a mile up the road. The glass in the store front would start to rattle as he got closer. I always wondered how he could hear anything by the time he walked into the show room though. I value my hearing too much to sit in cars like that and turn it up that loud without fluid filled hearing protection on. I used to carry two pair of hearing protection in the back seat of my car just for the times people wanted to turn it up and play. I made them wear the protection if they planned to turn the volume up very far just to prevent any permanent damage.
