Whats you wattage????

Grant

They say size dont matter but clearly it does, so what the size of you system?

and what is it that you have?
insert pictures if possible.

when mine is all finished it should be a little over 2000w

Mine will be 1800W when finished. That consist of HU, set of front components, set of rear components, 2 amps and a 12" sub. :)
 
Ive got myself 2 Phoenix gold subs running off a 1100W amp. Believe they're 250W Rms each.

2x90w Rms 6x9's in the rear, and 2x50 or 55w rms 17cm's in the front!

All fitted in custom boxes, baffles or shelves! The sound quality is incredible too!! Gave a few people a demo of it at Pod last year and at other events! Check out my website for further details, link in my signature.

yer you do have to have quality i agree to, but if you have a decent system like a good set up then it should sound nice.

Grant
 
My Last K10 had 1800wrms, but the one before that had 1040, and was a much more efficient and MUCH nicer sounding system... IMO I've never heard another Micra beat it :p lol :) but I would say that... currently I probably have about 80wrms lolol and it will do for now.
 
Ah sod it i'l put images up - It cost enough and its worth showing off anyway!! :)

Nice install, not a big fan of 6x9's :) im looking into doing the sound, but not after some other things lol

lol u had 2 park next to the lotus :D
 
i dont know how to calculate the whole system but i had two 1200 watt amps and 2 900 watt subs and some 250 watt componetent. all these figures are max of course.

in this micra im goin for quality over noise although the preivious one did sound very nice
 
wow the thickness of the sub around the edges! thats some RMS power :) and some deep bass :)


erm ive got the new 2006 Pioneer DEH-P6800MP

dehp6800mp_medium.jpg
with AUX input for PS2

Ive also got a set of 16.5cm Infinity 6500cs Component Speakers

(pics on my site but bandwith exceeded :()

These are powered by a JBL GTO 400w max 2 Channel

jbl-gto2000.jpg


Ive also got a Vibe Active CBR12" Sub and amp

bcbr12active2.jpg
which is very very powerful for a 1500w Max Sub and its only running at 900w Max.

got a few vids of it all in action too with PS2 running. :)

Im gonna try and hopefully with a bit of help from kristian fiberglass over the boot wheel arches to make enclosures for 1 sub either side but its all being kept secret in a way because it might never happen :( but ive got a few plans for the dashboard modification :)
Also going to me making some fiberglassed pods for rear panels so ive got some speakers for back seat people as its too bassy at back! :(
 
heres a vid from inside the car and outside. Inside was bloody mint hehe as u could feel the bass ripping through the seat. Its like a massage pad on ur seat hehe! gets the girls going anyway :p

outside the car the volume was about 80% up :)

I got 142.6 db from a single 12inch lol that was with 1600wrms however.. And not very efficient really, but still not bad.

This was my old system.. back when I was 20 lol. http://videos.micra.org.uk/ed-donny.wmv

Bass was run of a Kenwood PS400M amp, and the front components which were a set of USD waveguides (top quality!!) were run off a Kenwood 1021 @ 220w rms a side. It was connected to a clarion DSP with fibreoptic connections to the CD player. The dynamic range was stunning, and it would have made a great SQ+ car, but I never entered it for anything... The boxes were part fibreglass/MDF and were sealed with two 15in orion XTR subs (efficient). I built these in a V shape to allow both subs to couple and give a single point source of base which reflected up off the rear boot of the k10 (being curved glass very stiff, and as such directed it into the car as a kind of waveguide with stunnings results. Infact this design worked so well I've never heard another micra beat it. The result was bass from 25-80hz with a very flat response, and from there 6.25 inch mids which only had to work upto 1K where the wide bandwidth of the waveguide horns went from here to 22K :)

What equipment was it on and at what distance, coz that's fairly loud. Still love this though!

Although it's not the loudest any more, was beat a month or 2 later than that post I believe

I know the owner, and very impressive the car is too. Concrete and all :grinning:

This thread is pretty pointless tbh, as its not about the power. Yes you may claim to have a 1800w subwoofer, and 5000w 6x9's, but usually thats the 'max' power ratings which will never be reached in real life.

Anyway, fyi I'm currently running 600wrms into a 10" ported subwoofer, and 200wrms per side into some 6.5" DLS Reference components. The amp is capable of 1.1kwrms into 1ohm for the subwoofer, which I hope to be benefiting from in the near future when I look at upgrading to the new RE XXX v4 subwoofer.

It's more of a SQL system to be honest. I'm more bothered about the SQ than the loudness, but thankfully it can do both, and go loud with quality. My ears give in before the system does. I know a couple of people from here heard it at JAE, and its improved a massive amount since then, and still going strong :).

Ed, I'm still after some horns for my next system. Trying to find some Image Dynamics units but they arnt easy to source o_O.

Edit: This is all run from one big 5-channel amplifier, with class A/B for the components (bridged) and class D for the subwoofer, so really a hybrid amp.
 
i've got about 400 W###er watts in my car :(

Cheap crappy mutant amps with 80w peak power argh!!
 
I'm currently running an Orion HCCA 12D 12" sub off a Directed 1100d that's rated at 1100w rms with a 2000w peak @ 1ohm which the sub is more then capable of matching.... in fact the 2 are an extremely good setup. I did have a mental amp that decided to die on me and has gone to car audio heaven, or should that be hell........ It was a Orion HCCA 375G4, which I can't even remember the specs of it, but it was stupidly powerfull.

However this sub would be much more insane if it was setup in the correct box, I have it in a sealed box about 1.5sq cubic ft, not sure what Ed's box design was when he had it.

As far as sound quality is concerned, it's excellent upto a certain volume, which is pretty loud and then if you push the volume up further the bass tries to rip the rear spoiler off and even with the layers of sound proofing it still rattles the car.

We had the current system tested at a 144.5db so pretty much the same as when Ed had it. With the launch of Mk Audio, the car maybe used a demo car, so it could all change again.
 
mmmmmm that sub was SO overkill. Cost me £LOADS too £450 i think... yummy!
 
that car only got 166db. ONLY u say lol yeh only. A Lancer Evo 8 at MUK last year reached 170.4db :) and u could feel the bass from about 10 metres away hehe! :eek:

That lancer evo 8 reading was utter balls then. Seriously, I hate it when people dont measure systems properly.

The meter mic should be placed on the passanger side of the car, stuck to the windscreen (not in the boot, footwell, seat, anywhere else).

Also, a Termlab USB microphone setup needs to be used, as this is now the world SPL standard (for EMMA, IASCA, etc etc).

166dB is LOUD, and if they can only just achieve that with an 'extreme' classed car (i.e. a car where steel and concrete has been used), then an Evo will no way reach 4dB higher than this.

The Fin's (currently number 1 in the world) hold the world record at around 177dB, now that is loud. But thats through using special transmission line boxes and lots of mathematical calculation, plus 1000's of hours worth of testing.

A system by the Fin's that is similar to what is running in the Evo hits around 160-165dB (Street B/Super Street B), but thats running with a few batteries, over 20kwrms of power alone, and for a quick 3 second burp at the loudest calculated frequency.

I therefore conclude that 170.4dB is balls :laugh:

I'm in the high 130's atm, and I'll need a bigger box and better sub to push that any higher......

Oh and with many cars you can feel the bass 10m away, I know the Primera at JAE a couple of years back used a JL W7 with around 1.5kwrms, and that thing was extremely impressive. I hope to show off my new system in my next car to a few people, and show them what real bass is like ;)

Regards ;)
 
Me? I'll see what I can find for you :)

I basically find out all the information through Talkaudio (the SPL and Streetbass forum) who often have people linking to the IASCA SPL forums.

I'll see if I can find some examples.

In the meantime, check out http://www.realmofexcursion.com/ for some very impressive videos (you'll need to hunt around to find them), look at brands such as SPL Dynamics, RE (Resonant Engineering) and DD :)
 
Ok, check this vehicle out as an example of power.......

"Scottie Johnson's fourteen 12" MT's powered by twenty eight MA Audio 4000D's that produce a mind blowing 134kWatts! At a weight of about 7.5 tons, his van can produce 167.7dB sealed!"

http://www.realmofexcursion.com/videos/Resonant%20Engineering/mt12.1.wmv

Now RE MT's are SPL-only subwoofers and therefore dont play music too well, they also prefer a ported enclosure, but thats just crazy!

134kW :blush:

And one more just for fun...........this is how you move air ;)

who here went to muk?. it was a part of our college motorsport course. i was one of the people organizing muk. The evo hit 155 db not 177. and the mic was on passanger side. 155 db is insanely loud for a street car. that evo is being stripped wthin the next couple of weeks coz hes building a new show car. seriously though global ice wired is pretty much the only company i have come across that do everthing properly.
 
That's pretty mental. They try holding the doors shut tighter to seal the car, and you can see that they can't hold onto it when the bass comes. It's such a weird competition, making the loudest noise in a car at low frequency.
 
59 bhp is more than enough said:
