2nd Gen dB on a meter

Hey all! Wanted to know if anyone has ever metered their systems and what kind of dB they are hitting. I am toying get around with the idea of putting a system in my taco but want to keep all of the stock functionality (subs behind the seat, stock speaker locations, etc.). I'm a bit spoiled with the system in my work van, metering at a 139.6*** and don't want to get involved with changing the taco if it's not slamming!

 

My dear departed wife told me to invest in 3 things.

Corning fiber optics, tattoo removal technology and hearing aid development.

While I think I missed the curve on the fiber optics, there's likely time to fund my nursing home years with the other two.

 

189.6 dB with this? 189.6 dB in a work van? For cereal?

 

Im with rob on this one.

 

The world record is 184.3 dB

Actually I think our own Manethon had something to do with this truck

 

I had at one time 2 12" kicker XR whatevers with a box that took up 80% of my back seat (access cab). I had a shitty meter ring in at 137db. I downsized for room using a shitty 10" and slim box. Sounded terrible. I upgraded the sub to a Rockford T2 in the slim box, still terrible. Made a box tuned to around 15hz and its now as big as the box that had 2 12" in it.
Sounds incredible. Not as loud as the 2 12s but probably the loudest 10" ive heard.
Just saying, dont compromise. Ive never heard a slim box sound "loud". But it will add some bass.

 

My bad bros I typo'd. 89.6*

 

Shit. Did it again. 98*

Sorry, 139.6....my bad lol

 

Here's my setup in the van:

Hdc312 run @1ohm
Cdt 6.5" components in the front run@2ohms
Scar audios 6.5" in the rear run@4ohms
Pioneer head unito
Audiopipe apsm 2000d
2- audiopipe apsm 1200's

 

As well as a big 3 upgrade, 2 batteries and 160 amp alternator.

 

I'm jelly. We need this in our work vans. Then again we'd spend 2 grand deadening each one.

 

Thats a pretty slick setup!

 

Any particular battery?

 

I got most of it from a friend who was going to do a build, but changed his mind. I think it cost me around 800$ all said and done. Plus a few hundred sound deadening the roof because it wouldn't stop rattling.

 

That's a sweet deal

 

I run whatever the largest stock battery is from Auto zone, maybe 1200 cca each? The battery mount on the frame (took the bracket from a diesel van) doesn't allow for any larger size batteries.

 

It's the last work van I ever plan on buying so I figured I'd do it up right. ☺

 

Never had my Taco on a meter, but seat of pants guess is 125 - 130 with a single sealed 10 inch Sundown SD3 on 600 worms.

My old Civic was good for 136. 2 old-school Cerwin Vega XL12s in a couple cubes each tuned to 32 Hz fed 200W each by a Concord CA 200.2. It was capable of breaking those rear quarter window latches.
