Alpine State of Mind
just wondering what cars all you have and if any of you have specifically bought a car to suit your type of sound system...
do any of you drive toyota corolla seca mid 90's fastback coz they look like they could handle a decent SPL system

hi all,

thanks

i use a 1990 rolla sx.
and yeh i have thought about the mid 90 rolla and the shape looks promising.
but pretty much any hatch would go great really.
Charger
I have a 1972 Valiant Charger 770, it is suprisingly pretty good for coupe. I'll be getting a second car later this year, for dedicated SPL, probably a Corolla hatch of something.

looking at buying a 3rd combo van and doing something radical in it . ( 8 15s is the current idea.)

For SPL or music?

There's not really enough baffle area for eight 15s and port for pure SPL.

I'd go six 15s, it's a happy medium.

24 cubes and about 500sq" of port.

Yummy. smile.gifsmile.gifsmile.gif

ive got a 1996 corolla and achieved a 130db out of a 12" sony xpold running at 200w max hahaha

im now upgrading my system to 2 12" kicker comps running off a pioneer class D monoblock, I will tell yous how I go when it gets measured.

My brother with the same car got 134.3Db from 1 12" kicker comp bridged off a Kicker I404(?) amp.

yeah thats right shieldsy.

147.9, i can only dream of that, heck i would be happy with anything over 140 at this point in time, but i am broke so not going to happen any time soon.
hsvmonarogen3

Michae1

Next year I'll be using a 1977 honda civic and changing classes, should be fun.
55.UNV
at the moment im useing the missus tx3 laser, my vl calais is a bit crap for SPL LOL, iv also got a 86 model corolla AE82 hatch that im getting back on the road for pure SPL (and a daily driver to work and bak)
mark_sudakov
I got myself a Celica SX 1990 Hatchback coz of the looks, prity economical and should be good for spl. It has its advantages to a Celica coupe in terms of db score, so im told.
