Good little system you got there! Gotta love the way the glass in our hatchbacks act like a bandpass and amplify the sound.

My bro hit 135 Db in his 98 Dodge Dakota club cab. He has 2 12" W3v2D2 with a little Diesel Audio amp. He also only turned the volume to 18 but it goes to 40. With a better amp he would of hit over 140 Db easily.

i like the system edit besides the amp. but the 6.5s are unamplified wal mart pioneers and NOT premiers. and i didnt like the way the copetition was set up it went by # of subs not amp wattage im still scratching my head at that

Just because your volume control isn't maxed does not mean you could go louder. Maybe you could, maybe not, you'd have to try it and see if it distorted.

As for mics, if it's not a Termlab, the result is 100% useless.

Yea Termlab is the one the audio shop has here and what my bro's truck was measured with. He wants to go with a 1000/1 monoblock JL Audio amp since he thinks the 500/1 is too small.
