11 is less than 12

 

[TSB]

my neighbors don't agree

11 is less than 12

Sounds like you have your work cut out for you

You have no clue how hard it is to get a amp that goes to 11. I think 12 is just physical not possible.

my "amps" don't even go below full lol

Man you got fooled. It should be logical that without volume controlle they cant get loud.

[bloodshoteyed]

?

?

still not hifi enough. doubt this thing sounds any good

Well probably most folks around here would agree that 84 dB is too loud for them but that's the 0 point for equal loudness normalization. For me with speakers the 86 dB programe is enough for a party or short listening session tho had a habit going over to 96 dB or so programe with hedaphones when I whose young. Usually start about 74 and end about 80 increasing 1.5 dB step every 30~60 minutes on long listening sessions.

I must clarify that this here is the testing area.
I am testing.
testing loudness.
testing reactions.

more to come

right now my SPL meter meassures around 92dB slow/C

I am posting here only when (half) drunk btw.
but it is that state that I am generally experincing life music lol

If your amplifier's output can't be measured in horsepower, then its just simply not loud enough. Automotive stuff goes up to about 16-18 HP per amplifier. I figure a large rack of those and a wall of 36" subs should be good for a more reasonable 194 dB. 2nd harmonic distortion might be a bit high, though. But hey, its m u s i c a l distortion, right?

I think this is still about 14 dB short of my target, but you get the idea...

my ideia was to take my SPL-meter to the pre-Carnival that was happening in my neighborhood this thursday, but I totaly forgot

here in Brazil they use a lot of mid-rangy horns. sounds terrible, but gets crazy loud

If the mid,highrange is to loud, you need better subs to compensate
