In Pursuit of Insane SPL Numbers!

Some people spend their spare time working on cars making them faster and lower to make them handle better. We at Abtec NZ are no different in a sense, except we spend our time pursuing better SQ (sound quality) and of course bigger SPL (sound pressure levels) . This post is more about the latter…

This time round it all started when a little Honda CRX in the USA with a Steve Meade Designed box in it did a stunning 150dB with four Sony 10’s!

 After seeing what four entry level Sony Xplod Sub’s could achieve, we had to give it a go ourselves. So we had the design sent away to an expert box builder and SPL enthusiast and under a week later we had this…

 

 

 

Ok I know some of you going to say, “How is that DD CM1 amp going to get high numbers out of four 10″ Sub’s?” Well, that is why we swapped it out for a incredibly mental DD M4 amp. Surely 6100W x 1ch should be enough power! And just look at those Zero Gauge power and earth cable’s, you know when an amp has 2x power and earth terminals it means business!

We have already tested this setup and as much as I would like to throw some numbers up on this blog I have to restrain myself. On Sunday the 18th at the Spotlight on Seaview Industrial Fair all results will be revealed!
