What would it take to get beyond the 200dB mark? I am being realistic here...... I want opinions and ideas.... How much power, what kind of vehicle, how many speakers, what kind of enclosure, and what specifc details are needed to do such a feat. I have a pretty good idea of what it would take, but i want others opinions and ideas, be creative and logical..... This about gettin er done, not how much c-4 it takes....
Hmmmm...funny you should mention that.because on floridaspl.com.there is this post reguarding some kid that claims he is hitting 200 db's all day.with an 800$ set up another person said 200 db's is not acheivable in our atmoshere. i'll find you the post.
A myspace site....that holds as much threat as a one legged man at a butt kicken contest... Sorry pedro, the link dont work...at least not for me Now, an 800 buck set up that does even over 140 dB would imporess the heck out of me....200???? tell the judges and or mic calibrator to go get bent......
Im not proclaiming that i'm hitting 200dbs all day...at that level of pressure a person would prolly die
Be creative you said? lol I would get a big ass speaker custom made to fit in the end of this tube and drive this puppy up to the meter. Easy 350 db. Let me run it through Bassbox lol
An atomic explosion is around 235 to 245. So it is possible. Now 200db is not possible in a daily driver car, it could not contain pressure levels that high.
I don't think its to hard to get into the 170's. But it will take some planning. Viking, you've seen my methodology and it will work. But there is one more thing we would need to consider. We need to peak at the resonent frequency of the vehicle and have the wall set at the correct distance. The correct distance would be half of the distance we used to determine resonent frequency. (I didn't realize that when my van was built.). Anyway that would be worth a few extra dB right there. Once we get to the 170's glass wont work. Door panels won't work. Windows that roll up and down won't work. They will not contain the pressure. Windows need to be replaced with Lexan. Plastic door panels need to be replaced with anything that will completely seal up the doors. Windoews need to be glued shut. That thin sheet metal called a roof. We need to seriously reinforce it. We are talking about a purpose built vehicle. No longer a driver. No AC, No Heat (all those holes have been sealed). Windows don't roll down. Get the idea. Now 150's is possible in a daily driver. With some sacrifices, upper 150's is possible. Even lower 160's might be possible in a daily driver (I've never done it in a daily driver) with a lot of good planning. But 170's, I don't think so.
