Silver Member Username: Sinful_systems70Post Number: 112 Registered: Nov-06 | Apparently A vehicle with two 18" Digital Designs hit a 185.1 Db and there is a video of it here: http://www.realmofexcursion.com/videos.html at the bottom of the competition videos list. This is the discription of the video: "South America world record being set, 185.1 dB, with two 18" Digital Design subs powered by a eight Digital Designs Z2 amps. Filmed by VOODOO " WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is incredible, if its true. Can't see vehicle in vid or the stereo system. I know that DD is outstanding in performance car audio but this vid is questionable. Haven't looked aroud for any other info. What do you guys think? |

They either have some rigged displays, rigged mics or highly ususual atmospheric properties down south. |

In the future, you might see a lot of power plants just to bump the music. A lot of guys here do that. They even use electricity generators(transformers from the streets) and steal them to bump their music. That's really sick bro |

I remember seeing Alma Gates' bronco at usaci (or was it iasca?) worlds a couple years back. There was a bout a 4x4' aluminum plate in front of the motor holding like 12 300A alts. Current isn't a problem for people trying to set world spl records. Still - comparing 170dB to 180 is like comparing a car that can do 150 to one that can do 200. Comparing 180dB to 185 is like that 200 mph car vs. a top fuel dragster. |

Gold Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 2100 Registered: Jan-06 | yeah i know there is a huge differecne in 185 vs 170 but i was just saying what one of those subs did. anyway yeah i remember that bronco your talking about. but the mic wasnt a TL anyway it was an ac mic and those can be easly changed to give false readings |

Gold Member Username: N2audioLawrence, Ks USA Post Number: 1030 Registered: Mar-04 | that's obviously a ridiculous amt of power, and I'm sure it's crazy loud -- but still - how long were guys flirting with 180?? And finally ONE got it done -- and a few months later someone does a legit 185?? Theoretically that should require 4x the power or displacement, but both were less than 1/2. Something doesn't add up. |

Gold Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 2103 Registered: Jan-06 | opti - how do you see the power as less then half those amps will do 48000rms and if they were running a 16v system even more around 64000 i dont recall how much scott owens was running but i doubt it was double that^^ |

Silver Member Username: Sinful_systems70Post Number: 142 Registered: Nov-06 | Pioneer website claims he runs over 157,000 watts on a 16 volt system. |

Gold Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 2105 Registered: Jan-06 | wow nevermind i didnt think it was over 100k but damn who knows but the thing is people that have never used DD really doubt them and honestly they are extreamly impressive. i doubt they really hit 185 but still i bet its up there |
