Back on the 12th of May not only did we manage a 150.1dB<\/a><\/strong> with the 4 entry level 10″ Sony Xplod’s<\/strong> in the Toyota Vitz<\/strong> but we also managed to get 152.3dB<\/strong> with the same set-up apart from the 4 entry level JBL 12″ sub-woofers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We have also managed a a 150.5dB<\/a><\/strong> in the Mitsubishi Pajero<\/strong> with these same 4 JBL 12″s<\/strong> but with a more powerful amplifier which proves to myself that the Toyota Vitz<\/strong> is a much better base for a SPL car. If you look at it from a different angle the the Toyota Vitz<\/strong> has half the air space than any other vehicle in the ABTEC<\/a><\/strong> fleet so if you think about that alone even before talking about any audio equipment it makes sense to use the smallest vehicle at your disposal.<\/p>\n

This blog isn’t so much on how we got 152.3dB<\/strong> in the Vitz, its more about the evolution of the set-ups that have been tested in it and where it will be going in the future.<\/p>\n

The little Toyota Vitz<\/strong> started its life in TEAM ABTEC<\/strong> as a daily\/work car with a Digital Designs DD-LE308 8″ Sub enclosure<\/a><\/strong> in it which isn’t exactly made for SPL but they do produce amazing SQ (Sound Quality) and can out do a lot of larger sub-woofers if driven with the right amp! As soon as we decided that the Vitz<\/strong> was going to be an SPL car out came the little DD-LE308<\/strong> and off to the drawing board it went for box designs!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After testing 4 10″ subs, 4 12″ subs and 2 15″ subs in\u00a0various box designs we have found a working formula for the car and will be testing it at the\u00a0ABTEC dB Drag Sound Off Sunday June 3rd 2012<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
