Topic: Radio shack subs hit 135db
Today I was helping some new friends get their cars setup for a DB drag competition and something really surprising happened. A guy with 2 10" Radio shack Optimus pro's in a 2.5^ft sealed enclosure hit a legal 135.0db at 55hz on my new termlab meter. Needless to say that I was completely amazed that 2 subs that only cost around $60 total could put up a good number. Funny thing was is that he put up a higher # than a guy running 3 JL-10W0's. I spent about 5 hours helping these guys turn there streetbeaters into lil spl machines, we found there freqs and I helped them get things setup correctly. The Optimus pro subs actually sounded decent, not what I would call a SQ sub but considering $ I was impressed.

I bet if he put a LOT more power on them in a ported box he would be pulling into the 140s...
