stock one using the audioque 2.5 12 on 700 rms stock battery and alt (136 amp) on the ac 190 meter (tough meter) imagine what we will score with a 3000 watt amp a better sub (3829 watts birthsheet) a optima yellow top battery and a 300 amp alt

oh i c... well get a TL :-)

i know the ac190 is the newest meter from AC and all but from my expeirence using it it is 1 db off everytime. And i used to compete in IASCA and DB drag almost every weekend so the differences are obvious

the termlab showed us a 144.0 db car off on 600 rms so if anything I think the ac 190 was the same or tighter than the termlab this time ...our 144.5 db was car on running 700 rms 2000 rpm

yeah pretty crazy that we needed the 2000 rpm to get .5 db but it was the stock battery that was the culprit...the yellow top optima does MUCH better for us but we havent scored with that battery in yet on the audioque

my bro was torn between the kinetic and optima but decided on the optima because of cost differences (he got a good price on the yellow top) As far as I know the only major advantage on the kinetic was higher idle voltage.....Jk there isnt any power limits anymore....years ago there was but that was way back

so far my bro hit a 145.8 db on our meter (a 145.3 db or a 145.1 db on other meters) but the box is small for it and its not tuned just right for the most spl ....my bro is gonna build a much bigger box for it...He wants a 147 to start on our meter ...its not broke in yet either

well I havent been into spl like that until I became a member on here and did alot of reading online about it and some from stereo comps I went to....but....since owning my own spl meter I have learned more that I wouldnt have without it... hence.. now I think any vehicles res freqency can be changed (but will take me some time to see exactly how).... and have seen ideas like corner loading in a vehicle and slot loading work in real life

Haha yeah those Konaki subs would be horrible for daily.......... with no output under 45 hz they would probably sound worse than L7s
