    WOW now this is a massive car sub

    in Home Theater

    Posted

    yeah no doubt dude, there was a local competition near me when i loved in Florida, i went with a few friends and someone that wanted to see how well his car could do, man there were some really ugly cars there, gutted cars with only a drivers seat and super thick windows, nasty looking enclosures and tons of wires, definatly just a sport.

    my friend managed a 137.6db run for overall loudness with his Clarion/Image Dynamics setup, he would have done SPL deathmatch but he didnt want to destroy his sub, besides a 10" IDQ wouldnt beable to touch some of the systems that were there, people put way way to much money into that stuff.

    dB drags are just as bad as thoes competitions where you put air bags in cars or trucks and try to jump the front end as high as it will go, there is usually nothing in thoes vehicles, not even an engine, seems like a total waste of money to me

    I've made a little internet comparison chart.

    ISP data rate per American Dollar

    AOL Dial-up: 2 Kbps

    Netzero Dial-up: 4.9 Kbps

    Earthlink Dial-up: 2.2 Kbps

    Charter Cable: 77 Kbps

    Earthlink Cable: 67 Kbps

    Comcast and Road Runner Cable: 61 Kbps

    Bell South DSL: 10 Kbps

    DirecPC Satellite: 5 Kbps

    ------

    AOL, Netzero, and Earthlink dial-up based on a connection speed of 49 Kbps (FCC Regulations limit dial-up to a max of 51 Kbps)

    Bell South FastAccess DSL based on 256 Kbps plan

    Combast, Road Runner, Charter and Earthlink Cable based on 3Mb plan

    DirecPC Satellite based on 500 Kbps plan

    -------

    ISP monthly cost

    AOL Dial-up: $23.90 *

    Netzero Dial-up: $9.95 *

    Earthlink Dial-up: $21.95 *

    Charter Cable: $39.99

    Comcast and Road Runner Cable: $49.99

    Bell South DSL: $24.95

    DirecPC Satellite: $99.99 (not including hardware cost and startup fee)

    * = not including long distance charges if required

    As you can see by this chart, Dial-up should be about $1 per month lol, but of course that will probably never happen.

    Also yes I know that not everyone can get Cable or DSL because they are out of range, which is a shame. Expesually when a lot of people i'm sure could afford it. I used to be one of thoes people when I lived in Florida, I had the funds, but nobody offered broadband in my area.

    Anyway, I hope you like the chart I made, I spent about 30 minutes on it researching ISP cost and service plans. 1.gif

    nah db drag isnt my lust, i just thought it was cool that Pioneers first attempt at a killer sub and they managed to take the world record

    i go for sound quality over loudness, well actually its a little bit mixed, i like sound quality and loud enough for me to enjoy it

    since i primarily listen to punk rock, i tend to stay away from larger subwoofers with insane stroke length, 10" subs with super light weight cones and awesome sealed enclosure performance is what i look for.

    also subs that add 100lbs to the back of my car dont really float my boat either 3.gif

    one of my friends uses a Image Dynamics IDQ10 D4 V.2 in a custom sealed enclosure with 150w amp which sounds absolutely amazing playing punk, its so tight
