I was reading a post here and a really high Db number was mentioned. I am totally ignorant on how these numbers are achievable. So if anyone here has any insights please chime in.
I did some quick thinking and can get nowhere close to the numbers quoted. I do believe the high numbers are possible, so I obviously left something out. here's what I came up with....
speaker [email protected]
amp 512W gives +26Db
1024W gives +29Db
2nd speaker gives +3Db
Cabin gain +9Db (guess but depends on frequency)
Totaled up (1024W) 134Db
This is way lower than what I have seen. I can think of a few ways to get more Db. Such as tuning the frequency played to resonance of the car, making a resonant speaker box to spike at a certain frequency, addition of mid and tweeters, and removing upholstered parts and other damping materials. I would guess the most likely is the addition of mid and high components, but that leaves the question of what to play.
I am not interested in building a Db beast but I am interested in the engineering in doing so. Any insights or guesses would be awesome.
