If he's running 1300 watts or more, he should hit at least 150dbs or more.

I could have made that box for you in a weekend, for the right price.

If I had to guess how loud it will be, id say in the neighborhood of 145-150.

i wouldnt put subs in any of my cars...i dont like bass...the only time i would ever use it would be at redlights..just to show off...i dont think anyone can honestly say, that with the bass turned all the way up and booming like crazy...that they like their music like that..you cant really hear anything else but that..or at least, thats all you can focus on...its all in showing off IMO...my 6.5s in rear deck provide enough bass...i am more interested in mids and highs...now s-h-i-t, i will put 4-6 tweeters in my car in a minute.. :wiggle: ...its all in preference...

Im not really down with all that ridiculous hear me from a mile away bass, which is why i plan on sound deadening the hell out of my car soon, i just like music, and i like it clear.

hope no one rear ends the car. insurance wont cover your 500 pounds of sound.

If you didn't want to be heard a mile away, then why did you spend all that money on a pair of W7's? For bragging rights?

:dunno: "I AM NOT BASHING"

And in addition, if you wanted your music "clear", why didn't you go for a sealed enclosure? Ported/Vented enclosures give sloppy bass, even with a W7. A sealed enclosure for a W7 at about 1.6 ft^3 per chamber would have given you much cleaner bass than a vented/ported enclosure designed for SPL purposes, not Sound Quality.

Deadening your car is going to give you more volume. When you use sound deadening, the sound will never escape; Providing a lot more bass "inside" the car and as soon as you let down the windows, it'll force the sound out.

Hope you don't go and spend $500 on some dynomat to deaden your whole car. My entire car is lined with pink panther insulation. Works like a charm and I spent $50 bux for it all.

Its on my insurance already, 50 bucks a year, $200 deductible, $5,000 coverage.

Not sure where you got the idea its ported, but theyre both sealed. And no, i dont play on spending 500 bucks on dynamat, Im going to use secondskin, i can do the car with about 100 dollars worth, the guy who owns the company is on www.v6performance.net and www.caraudioforum.com so he gives forum members 50% off.

JPAccord
03-04-2004, 08:38 PM
Not really. Engine wise, theres the AEM V2 CAI, K&N Typhoon CAI, Injen CAI, Mangnaflow Exhaust, Borla Exhaust, and i think thats it. Comptech is working on a supercharger for it.

Nah ben i dont think you need that much weight, subs are 50 lbs each... 100 lbs, i figure all the amps together are probably about 50 more, box and stuff is probably 75, so about 225 lbs or so.

I was pondering the same thing...W7s are aawesome speakers and very expensive...if you didnt want to be heard a mile away, but wanted clear, crisp sound, then there were many other name brands to choose from...
