db drag is for competition not for music, in fact a true db drag vehicle is tuned to one note and pretty much only plays that note and has no musicality. Just like some go to the track to see who goes the fastest, they go to the drag lanes to see whos the loudest. Pretty understandable isnt it? DB drag competitions have major coin purses as well as trophies too. Its the engineering in the sport that got me in to it. People think its just a matter of putting wood together to make a box and thats it.. NOPE! Takes major skill to engineer a box in concordance to vehicle size and such. takes brains to do it and the feeling you get when what you built wins is awesome.
I've been involved with many db builds with my friends shop, so I understand what it's about.....I said I didn't understand the appeal.

its the same appeal as entering your car in a car show or running a 1/4 mile in 13 and pushing the next time down the track to get a 12.99 and faster the next and the next. Its the joy of beating personal best.

Not talking poo, but how can you not understand the appeal if you've been involved? its the same appeal as entering your car in a car show or running a 1/4 mile in 13 and pushing the next time down the track to get a 12.99 and faster the next and the next. Its the joy of beating personal best.

I'd much rather have a car I can enjoy, drive, show, and have a nice SQ system to listen to. That appeals to me more than getting rid of my rear seat, dumping a bunch of batteries in the trunk, and filling my doors with cement while a bunch of guys jump on my trunk while I crank the volume up remotely for a couple seconds of glory.....but that's just me.
Just from a personal perspective, I'd rather have this....

that doesn't sound like a bad idea. I'm gonna ask my audio dude about that setup. I'm gonna pickup a db meter at radioshack and just see what's what. They don't do DB drag in NY as often anymore. I would probably have to go outta state for an accurate reading.

I helped on a bunch of db builds....which made me appreciate SQ that much more. Again, I don't understand the appeal. Just because someone pays to install 6 12" subs in a box the size of a sofa into a van worth $300 and then fill the doors with cement doesn't mean I understand the appeal.
Again, if you like db, that's fine....to each his own. I'm just saying I would never do that to my Lexus.

readings will be off by like 10db's in some cases, so dont go around telling everyone you hit 150db's cause it will You're probably hitting around 138-139 (which is average for a pair of 12's in an average box )

well remember to use that meter only as reference to the difference between first set up and second. A true db mic (like the term lab mic) takes account for temperature and everything and gives true readings (and costs like $3000), the cheap one at radio shack gives reading with no account to anything readings will be off by like 10db's in some cases, so dont go around telling everyone you hit 150db's cause it will You're probably hitting around 138-139 (which is average for a pair of 12's in an average box )

I'm interested in what you've got goin.
