    The DB Drive competitors have...they are .5dB away from having the world loudest vehicle. Not to mention how many world records they own right now with this sub...I think they have over 20 right now. They use these WD subs and their new Okur amps. Their new Okur subs will be 24,000rms burp.

    They have not broke the loudest car record yet. They have been going after it for the last 2-3 competitions. Last time I checked, they were about .5dB off from the record. With the way they are going after it, I am sure they will have by mid 2010.

    However, they have tons of world records in different classes. In July, they took 11 1st place prizes and 2 world records at Texas Jam. In October, they walked away with 6 1st place prizes at the USACI/dB Drag Unified Finals. Danny Mays alone has over 11 world records...not counting the rest of the team.

    The prices are not solid yet...they are not released to the public. Right now, they are only in the hands of the DB Drive team for competition. The 7500.1 was like $4,000 last time I heard, but prices will change slightly once they release their new full Okur lineup. They are going away from the chrome and flashy stuff and making their competition lines pure muscle.

    but bump glws. I am looking to do a more spl oriented setup myself. not really a serious run at it but just to play with. so... i'm looking for something with a little less mounting depth than this. and i have 1500 rms @ 1 ohm currently to play with. what do you have that would do well? I have about 9 cubes to work with

    DB is changing Quantum up too. All the orange will be gone...the logo will be in blue. The orange has been one of the things killing Quantum from day one.

    Check the Quantum Audio Q12SPL sub...1500rms. I have them on closeout for $125!! You would just need the dual 2ohm and will be a perfect match. It will compete closely with the RE XXX...the XXX edging it out a little on power handling.

    B&K is not a spl measuring system. It is the USACI B&K World Records. This is where the record is that they are going after. Danny Hays has already hit 182dB in other events.

    well I did a little research and found that b&k is infact a meter. its used by nasa and its a little more accurate than the regular tl. However generally speaking the b and k unit is generally only used when trying to break world records.
