O AND 1 more thing before i stop rambling on the car that pulled in to the garage in the beginning of the video OMG that car is so immaculate if u have a little time and u don't mind would it be possible to give me a little information about that car i kno ur a very busy man so if u can't get back to me not a problem i truly understand (✌🏼💪🏼🔈💪🏼🔉💪🏼🔊)

[@TimmyJoePCTech]

Weird how I saw the IASCA IDBL world record holding Phoenix Gold Honda CRX in my home town in Canada like 16 years ago and it was hitting 173 DB and now the record is only 180, I guess thats just the max you can do? It's like a speed record, every DB requires 5000 more watts worth of subs or something?

[@OldSchoolCarAudio]

Years ago the microphones were not the transducer type so a lot of the readings were higher and perhaps considered "less accurate". But you are right, it's an exponential relationship... at some point the effort to increase by several dB requires double the power. Like building a drag car for a 6 sec quarter mile..compared to a 9 sec quarter mile.

[@Cher007]

Did not think you would be interested in Car Audio :)

[@kasparov937]

Yeah a something like that, the record is around 183db, to go higher is extremely difficult.

[@extrakimF]

They used another meter back in 2000, you can't compare scores on the old vs the new meter. This car is by far a lot louder.

[@beardicus]

@@extrakimF not completely true, the difference between the old and new meters are only about 3db

[@ExtraKimB]

You are wrong. It depends on several different things. The louder you got, the more off the mics where. The freq you used played a big factor too, some freq where more off then other. If you did your run after a loud car, your score normaly got higher etc..

[@rylordrylord7347]

I’m trying to drive to work bumping that loud lol

[@mikeregner4719]

That center council top needs to be wider! Notch up the roof on the pass side, so you can raise the floor on the pass side, if you havent done that yet. Try playing with temperature to adjust the cabs frequency.

[@puresesh7985]

wrong most systems play around 20-40hz to low to do much damage to hearing. go watch exos video on it

[@OldSchoolCarAudio]

The consequences of low frequency SPL & vibration on the human body has been well documented over the last 4 to 5 decades. It is absolutely irresponsible to claim that low frequency vibrations do not impact the human body. See our blog on this here: oldschoolcaraudio.com.au/pump-up-the-bass/

[@StanTheObserver-lo8rx]

You would think a Tesla or Leaf would be the show cars used. Electric cars already have the wiring for more wiring and amps- right?

[@Z-Ack]

The amount of cable that is in an average spl show car would be around 300 feet of 1 gauge cable. From hood to amps alone in a running car would be like 200 feet.. the sealed cars built for burps usually only have rear mounted power houses so would be less footage but they use 0 or 00 gauge.. battery wise if you unhooked the motors and gutted an electric car you would definately have those batteries built in but they all rely on brake charging so would be a feat to keep those batteries protected and change charging systems as they are usually sealed and all the safety gizmos are up inside and if youve ever taken apart a small lithium battery than imagine one oops of a split second short will set off a self destruct sequence.. with 25k$ invested in an audio system its not the best of insurance to build it based off of engineered explosive batteries designed for a different application that consumes faaaar less amp draw per second than an amp pushing 19,000 watts to make a speaker burp 177 fuggn db’s... :)
