    SPL competition?

    Im trying to upgrade my sound system to SPL competition level, and im just wondering how many more subs and more rms watts do you think i should get. I currently have 2 JL 12w3v2, and they dont satisfy me anymore. I want a lot louder system, but i dont want to crack my window or break my car apart. I really appreciate it if somebody could help. Also, i want to know which amp to get for the new subs.

    a good SQ and SPL site is www.termpro.com, they have a forum that's dedicated to all types of dB drag. Very informative... 8)

    Just drive with your windows down all of the time... then you can have the super high spl system w/o worrying about cracking your windows... :D

    Personally, I like systems with lots of balance... Richard Clark style...

    You mean that GN with miracle Alpine amps? The ones with hidden mod to circumvent the rulebook? :wink:

    There was a HUGE thread about that in Carsound and RC got hammered so bad that the thread got deleted (or something to that effect)

    Anyways, for SPL, stick to those W3's- I personally think they are capable drivers. The only other thing that you need to change is your enclosure design (I suppose). Get a moderately sized class-D monoblock (like MTX 81000D, BMF 1000D, JL 1000/1, etc) and wire them all the way down to 2 ohms (parallel) Build a ported box that matches your drivers' specs and you have an SPL monster!

    Go to www.termpro.com - plenty of helpful people over there. (I post there under "sepp")

    See ya there bud.
