Well my sponsor wanted me at an unsanctioned event, namely it wasn't usac, db drag or slap. It was a small store in NH. They were using an older meter ( audio control 180 ) AC 180. i managed to wack a 159 even on the meter for the loudest of the day.

thats crazy chew. Nice numbers!

Ehhhh its allright but not crazy, for reference the old audio control 180 meter hits 6 db higher than the new TL or audio control 190. It also has to be mounted on the floor which usually means higher spl. Basically that would have been a 153db on the floor with the new meters.

It pissed me off when they changed from the AC meters. I was only getting 139.7 with the AC in like '02 with a setup I had in my wife's sedan with old Boston .4 10" subs. When I got my MX3 and put a big honking 15" in it, I was sure I'd break into the 140's, but then I found out they had switched meters to the box style, and I ended up with another set of 139.x scores. I was pissed. I don't know if I'll ever break into 140's because honestly, I'm not willing to invest money to do more than 500 watts for my sub just for SPL burping.

I know a setup that will hit 143's on the new meter at the dash in a fold down seat sedan. It consists of a kicker 600.1, a single 12" pioneer and a box that i have the dims for.

I know as i used it last year in the wifes car. I popped it at 49hz so it should be really close if you pop it at 52 hz in the mx-3 and likely net around 145's to 146's in a non sunroof mx-3

If your curious LMK. I'll give you all the info.

That is still awesome chew. Was this with your MX-3?

Yep with the mx-3. My team wants me to do a wall in it but I kinda like the car and don't want to wreck it completely so I got another car to wreck instead.

Cool. Yeah you told me its your daily driver and you won't have a heart to make a wall of subs in it. I know what you mean, The MX-3 is too valueable and rare to make a wall in it.
