Wow, the loudest "certified" MECA or IASCA 3rd gen dakota is term lab metered at 149.8db all metering is done at the dash or steering wheel.
I was heavy into db Drags and SPL comps in the late 90s and early 2000's. The loudest 2 sub combination I have ever witnessed was a set of RE XXX 18s with 5000 watts and it only hit 152 db in a 7sq foot box. So your setup is pretty special man. Our trucks dont meter well, and that setup in a jeep would likely hit over 159db...
Are the comps you go to certified by IASCA or MECA? if so, whats your member number?

haha nah I'm not in any sactioned events, I just own a TL.
working on becoming a sactioned db drag judge. so I can start hosting my own shows.
but, yeah the trucks pretty nasty, On the dash the truck reads a 150.7 was the best score to date on the dash.
so..
but being that I'm not truly going for numbers. to me it matters whats to my ears. ya know. so with the ports being about 5 to 6 inches from the back of your head, with NOTHING inbetween but air. it gets nasty!
but also, got my h/o alt in yesterday. and Now my fog lights don't work. and I have a battery warning symbol which doesnt' bother me. I have a digital voltage meter I knwo what is and what isn't lol. does 180 amps solid at idle. and 260-270 when needed.
at full tilt at idle I see 13.7!!! and bump the rpms to say 2000 and I see 14.4 all day long. and that is at 3000 rms!!!
can't wait to see 8000 rms.... AND THAT WILL BE SOON! my amp is shipping out today!
