[quote author=Shovelhead link=board=10;threadid=16233;start=45#153787 date=1056666047]<br>Jamie, this Washington Post story outa be right up your alley.......DB Drag Racing<br><br>170 DB stereo systems!!!!!!!! <br>[/quote]<br><br>First time we went to show we hit 156db out of 2 12&quot;s Pushing 5000watts. 3000watts for the subs 1500 a piece. And 2000 watts for the mid's and highs.

 

what difference does it make what your pushing to the mids and highs when you're db dragging .......no way your note's that high <br><br><br>what class are you in street, superstreet or extreme ......<br><br>I'm in street .......<br><br>I was doing 148.6 @ 45hz with 1 12 inch beyond audio Inhuman and 700 watts in my reg cab 01<br><br>hit a 154.2 @ 52hz with 2 12 inch beyond audio x-ones and 1500 watts<br><br>I wanted my back seat back so now I'm downsized to 2 8's and 700 watts .......hit 138.2 @ 57 hz now <br><br> <br>I guess I'm getting old .......it doesn't need to be so loud anymore .........<br><br><br>anyways back on topic .........I'd just forget about the dash speakers put a component set in the front doors and a pair of coax's in the back ...........the JL's Jamie sugessted are nice speakers<br><br>before you buy anything hit your local shops and listen to as many different speakers as you can.........buy what you like......what sounds good to me may not be what sounds good to you <br><br>

 

Man, we got a little off the topic here I see. I don't think the original poster wants this much stereo. Some good reading here though.

 

Matt your idea will definately work adding an amp to the 6 speakers you plan on installing will definately make them sound better. Especially if you buy an amp with built in crossovers. Don't forget that the factory 6 speaker system in the trucks is also amplified so to achieve the sound you are looking for you will probably have to install an amp. For the sound you are looking for though you should not have to change the factory speaker wire your not going to be jambing on it like us guys.

This year we will be going in as 4yr class 2 amature under stock radio. As for the mid and highs deal. It must be different where you are cause they measure all around thats why we hit so high. Plus the first year we used something that is not recommended. <br>Im just anoxiuos to see what we hit with tthis new setup.<br><br>SD03

I got a Craig AM/FM/8 Track powering an awesome 5&quot; paper speaker with a hole in it in the center of my dash. I got it at Pep Boys. It's really loud, like about 100dB at about 99% THD.<br><br>Chicks dig it. 8) 8)<br><br>BTW, does anyone know where I can get a hub adapter for a chain steering wheel? Will it work with the cruise control?

 

You got the HD stuff right for sure.

 

How's this sound for a stereo system.......slip a George CD into the stock head unit and turn the **** to the right and hear that wonderful sound blow through the stock speakers?? ;D ;D ;D

Any recommendations on an amp and do you think the JL's you spoke of are still best &quot;with&quot; an amp or is another upgrade in order?<br><br>Don't want to do that if I don't have to but where do I stop upgrading? Gota draw the line here somewhere. I am gonna hold firm on no subs.<br>

 

I took my door skins off to make the speakers louder... now I get the sound from the front AND the back. If I don't have a passenger, I slide both speakers beind the seat to my side to make it real loud.

 

That's what I'm talkin' bout. George sounds great on my speaker....
