sounds very interesting i did once hear that 155db was enough to stop your heart! take it your run in some spl competitions?
would be good to see this and hear this!

Im not saying its not impressive, I was merely asking what there is to gain from hitting 140dB+ apart from annoying the neighbours, showing off to ya mates, and getting yaself an ASBO if and when you actually decide to use it.

As impressed as I am by it, it does also seem a bit chav.

Pimp my ride only do their shit for TV entertainment, its all just one abig massive waste of money, funded by MTV for them to make hundreds of thousands back by screening it on their channels around the world and reaping the rewards in advertising revenue.

Fair enough.

Maybe there's your answer for the 140dB+ mark - spl competitions?

sound presure level

as for saying its a bit chav, each to there own, personaly i like it and if i had the cash to build somthing that could reach 140db i would do it.

just to clear up a few questions the van is a company demo vehicle and draws alot of attention which is what it was built to do and was sponsored by exile so all the gear was supplied at less than trade prices

i agree that to spend that much money on a sound system is daft but unfortunately thats what people wanted to see.

i used to have quite a small SQ system in the van with just a set of front speakers and a sub which sounded great, but people expect it to have this huge system in when i opened it up and were dissapointed when faced with a little sub and amp.

so the decission was made to give people what they were expecting which was a huge system (even if it sounds terrible compared to a nice SQ setup)

all i can say really is that bass sells to a large majority of cruiser and with that being what my buisness is built around i have to keep them happy

i can honestly say that i never drive around with the system loud as i have to much respect for other people around and it only really get used for shows

last year at the vw show at tatton park a mate borrowed the van to put next to his stand selling number plates and left the stereo playing all day,
it drew a big crowd as people came to see what was making all the noise and resulted in him having the best day of his show season taking over £800 in one day

*yawn*

Thats a fair point bud, but if you buy a bugatti veron, which is cable of 200mph + your not going to be doing that all the time either, its just nice to know its there and can be used when you want !
