well, i guess i have to qualify my answer. my highest spl with my old system was a 148.6 on the old dBdrag meter. which read about what 6dB? higher than the new dBdrag meter? the system was 2 JL audio 10W7's and 2 JL audio 500/1. it wasn't built for all out spl, just the most i could get out of something that was loud as hell and still sounded ok. might not break 140 on the new meter, but still loud as hell for 2 10's.

138db was the loudest I ever checked of mine. Problem is I can't remember what I was using. That was several systems ago. It will come to me.
Hey extreme can you remember if I ever got that big orion sub I had that high.

Oh by the way we need to check the spl in your truck (Extreme). I know your doing SQ but they do SPL in SQ to.

You were using an Orion HCCA 12" on a Rockford Fosgate Power bd1000

139.1 was the loudest. I was and am still using 2 Audiobahn 10s with the A8002 800w Audiobahn Amp. This will change soon as I'm going to uprade to two Orion 12s.

Oh yeah back to the original question or at least the other half of it.
My current subs are (2) Alpine SWR-1022D 10" Type-R subs. Right now there in there boxes under my coffee table, but will be in the car soon. Maybe. Rolling Eyes

well, me personally in my own car....

1 custom tc9 15. mt soft parts, cf dust cap, flat wound alluminum coils, d2, and whatever else it had, in 4 cubes at 37 firing up in my 05 stang with an opti 4000 being strangled to hell and back by my shitty electrical pushed out a 138.1 Terrible I know, the amp later died and I said f**k audio. Box is still in trunk, I built it in the car. never again.

someone elses car.... when vic owned the blazer kenny now owns, he had 2 15" rlp's on a power acoustin PA3000db or whatever, not pushing full out, maybe 800 to each. did a 154 sealed up db drag style on the TL. thats loudest yet, but I think if kenny would have kept the setup I told him from the get go in his chrysler old lady car, we could have 57's

I think that I got 139 on the meter at RS in the Sebring. That was with the 2 CVR 12's and a Fosgate Amp in a ported box. Wish I had never sold that stuff for the stupid Octane Z stuff I got. Cheaper, but never panned out. I went into it half-heartedly and obviously haven't done much since. Current system, stock system in my G6. If I let the back windows down while driving, it sounds like some 12's bumping though.

Well recently I sold my old setup and now have 2 Orion 12s with a 1200 watt mono block class d amp. I'm hoping to be able to get around 145. What do you guys think?

Which Orions do you have? What 1200w amp do you have? What type of enclosure will you be using?

The amp: HCCA-D1200
The subs: HP 12D2
The box is a professional bass box with like rhino lining sprayed on it to prevent flexing.
