Okay guys as of 10 minutes ago I have completed my system (huray for me). Here is my set up:

(2) Audiobahn A18001D 1800w Amps
(3) Audiobahn AW1805X 1200w Subs
(2) Audiobahn ACAP10X Capacitors
(1) Audiobahn ABC600 Component Set
(2) Audiobahn ACX693 6x9" Triaxial Speakers
(1) Panasonic CQDVR909U CD/DVD Player
(1) Panasonic CQDPFM850EU CD Changer
(1) Clarion DVH920 5.1 Dolby Digital Audio Processor
(1) Kenwood KGC-9044 EQ Equalizer

If you cannot belive I Could fit all this in, I am with you there, I amazed myself. I ripped out the back seat of my 89 4dr SE-i and redesigned the entire dash with carbon fiber to put a "audio station" in. The audio station consists of the deck, equilizer the audio processer. The subs a placed where the back seat used to be, in a custom built enclosure or "box". The amps are BOLTED down in the trunk where there are 3 car batteries bolted down along with the capacitors. The CD changer is mounted where the glove box used to be.

Now to the fun part. Along with the "audio station" I have included the entertaining part of my system. I have Put in a vertical mount for my ps2 and I am building a mount for my X-Box.

When I am complete I will have a screen in the trunk lid (so when the trunk opens you can see the screen) with speakers and the works. My dream is to also mount a ps2 and xbox in the back as well. But that will have to wait.

This was all VERY expensive and I have taken out 2 loans from 2 banks. The cool part is that with all the Audiobahn stuff that I am advertising (2 stickers per item) I got a BIG rebate from Audiobahn Inc. The total cost of my system and the car itself could put a NICE down payment on an Acura NSX. When I get the cash to buy a digital camera, Ill post pics of my car for you all. Ok I got to go, my fingers are REALLY starting to hurt.

did u get any big alternators or more batteries? How did you power those amps without wrecking the stock alt and bat? Im running a 140 amp alt with no caps and a 1200w and I still get very slight dimming

So I am assuming you are going for pure SPL for that set-up?

You will be able to be heard for many blocks away, but good luck coming anywhere close to sound quality with your bass.

He took 2 alternators and installed them so BOTH are making power.

Have you ever seen a picture of the Team Gates Bronco? It hit 175.XX db a while back, in the engine bay they have FOUR alternators in the engine bay.

Wanna hear the scary part... My neighbor is a CHP officer (for those of you who are stupid it means California Highway Patrol) he got ahold of one of those police decimeters. While I was listening to my Bass Mechaniks Powerbox CD i hit 206.45 db what does a harley rev at. i wanna take my system against a harley... or an opera singer.

Ur friends DB meter has to be way off, thers no way you could hit 206 db with 2 18s and even that much power. Underground autosound's van with 13 shocker 12's in a chevy astro van and much more than 52,000 watts (26 PH-D2 Shredders, 2 per sub) and they hit a 175. I think you need to get metered on an Audio Control RTA... they are really accurate. Every 3db you go up is eqivalent to doubling your amplifiers power, so technically youd need over 10x the power they did (ummm well over 520Kw of power and even if you did have that kinda power you dont have the cone area they do... Youre prolly hittin in low to mid 160s...

My hypothesis: cops use rigged decimeters. :D

206 db yo azz would die and you would s#it on yourself before you died.
A jet engine is like 180db and that will blow eardrums right off

umm 120db is the tolerance to pain (supposedly) and 140db is standing behind a jet at like 4 feet or somthing. The average rock concert is usually 125-132 db. The loudest thing i ever sat in was 4 15s in a pontiac grand amp with 2x 1600 watt Audiobahn amps. It hit like a 154.3 but it was sooo loud it was insane. Even with hearing protection its unbearable... you cant even breathe. The kid who owned it had blown out each window and the windshield was the only thing that he hadnt broken at least one time. BTW he had to burp it with a cd player outside the car, the system made the cd player in the car skip like a mofo at like 1/3 vol.
