137 dB, 300 watts going to my 15, 2.0 net sealed. mic was placed in the passenger side kick, termlab mic, engine on, one door open.
i want to remeter just for sh*ts and giggles since i'm putting a lot more power into my sub now.

My SQ car did 139.5dB on a trio of 10W6s in 2.5ft sealed running off a PPI A600.2
that was.. uhhh 6 years ago as well.
I've upgraded to four Focal 12s on an A1200.2 and the A600.2 now runs my front mids. (I'm old skool)

nah.. it's not very loud at all. it's set up for SQ.
I just got the thing running again a couple weeks ago after sitting for a year.. the stereo sounds like crapola. but it works so I haven't bothered trying to find out what's wrong with it yet. might do that this weekend if it's not 1000000 degrees outside.

I never metered mine. Im sure it was in the mid 140s though.

I'm a bit dissappointed to see the results (not to be rude or to put down anyone). I was hoping that the maxima's were a decent vehicle for bass. I was planning on running one 18" sub off of my memphis MOJO amp, but i don't think i'm going to be happy with the results, according to the above stats. I just might have to rethink my setup. I was hoping for 145ish.

Everyone should post what mic and where, windows up or down. I have seen up to a 6 db difference between the new TL and the older AC mic.
With that, I did a 139.8 on the new TL, on the dash, windows up, seats down. It peaked at 41 Hz. I gained .4 with the drivers side window down, so a 140.2.
I have an Eclipse 8455-Rainbow Contour 6.5"s in the front doors, Alpine Type-R 6.5"s in the rear doors, front stage powered by an Alpine MRV-540, 2- Diamond Audio TDX 12"s ported-tuned to 32, subs powered by a Diamond Audio D6 1500.1, stock battery and alternator with a Yellowtop in the trunk.

What 18 were you thinking about? You could get 145+ depending on tuning and box design. Most of us here are tuned for daily driving so the scores reflect the lower tuning.

don't think many of us in here are SPL fanatics.

Easily beyond what would be considered the comfort zone. I didnt have the best built box & had minimal port area, oh and port tuning was 28hz. Im sure with a decently built box an 18 with any sort of power should be quite impressive. Unless you feel like going with 5-6 8" subs
That too would probably shock you.

If your going to want an SPL oriented car, box design is where its at. There is a saying that true SPL cars are 95% box design and implementation and 5% speaker. SPL cars often use walls that are either ported or bandpass in design. Both ported and bandpass walls are tuned higher that an average street thumper would use. Most are around the high 40s to low 60s. You must also dampen and brace the car heavily. Any flex in the box or car will lose you valuable DB.

thing is, he's driving a SUV...all that pressure just goes to the mic. Our cars on the other hand, have a trunk. The bass has a harder time getting into the cabin.
147 in a car is pretty high.

145+ in our cars would be difficult if it is made for music. An SPL box, you might have a chance. But daily, no. Especially on the newer more sensitive mic's.

It was all before I got into car audio, I don't remember what mic and all that...I just remember 144.7 out of either a 00 or 01 max.

Very true. I was in Arizona working with Mobile Dynamics and Rockford Fosgate on a project 2 yrs ago and we built a system for a Scion truck. It used a Sony 12" sub and a Sony 2x100 w amp and we got 138db out of it.

I bass race in the 120.00-129.9db class but can "burp" a 130.7db on Term-Lab meter
2 JL Audio 10w1v2's, Hifonics 5 channel amp, sub channel of amp 300 w rms x 1 @ 2 ohm in a sealed fiberglas enclosure

Don't forget that it is an average over a 30 second period as well. You can jump the gun and "red light" and recieve a 5 second penalty at 0db worked into your average. I did a 136.8 the last time I bass raced. I would bump down to the 120-129.9 class to compete. Also, if you break out or go above your class, you lose. I think it's fun. But I am just a bass head.
