First of all welcome to Termpro! You will get alot of help from the folks here.

What kind of vehicle do you have?
Is this vehicle going extreme or daily driven?
What kind of equipment do you want to use?
Do you have a Termlab meter?
Are you building for a specific class?

We can suggest product if you like but we need the make/model of the vehicle.

what size of subs are you using?

3" ports generally aren't used for SPL, I would definitely give 4's a try if possible... maybe even a 6" [Wink]

Hi, its Roger, Rups too busy to hang out on forums [Big Grin]
Get 4" ports for a start and what batteries you running?
Ultimate 2 is what Im running. I have 1x Targa TG55 (5k rms) with 3x Targa 15" Z subs and Im doing 162.1db on TL. I have replaced the amp and the batteries, but I have not tested yet. Still busy with another project.

Cheers,
Roger!

Greetings Back Out of Belgium !!! [Smile]

For a 165 Db car :

* if possible Build a Wall in your car

After , enough people here can guide you to optimise it

Or it must be you can go Extreme ... ,
Ultimate 2 isnt that = to Extreme ?.

Cool Guys, thanks for the advise -
@Jordyo - in rookie street 3 class, i'm using the street Targa's, they may be local buy boy are they strong, got respect for those subs - best i ever did with those subs was a 148 in international set up but i bet these monsters can push more - ok, will try the 4" port but the thing is that i dont have enough space to play with in a Fiat Palio regarding box size but will check and let you know if it works.

@ Roger - Hey bro, sorry about that, gona take me some time to build but my dream is be build the Palio to a bigger class (thats when i get my new ride), want to put in 3x15" in it, i have not decided on which subs though, still checking the market, hay and the pocket...lol

@ Shany, hows life in Belgium today, Hey you could have something there, maybe a wall is the way to go.

okay guys, i will need the equipment first, got my hands with 3 X NSB110 batteries already so now for the mother of all mother subs and amps - what do you guys suggest? i want to build a 165/170 - if possible give me some cost on these babies so i can work on a budget from now, Roger, feel free to comment as well on equipment bro, maybe we'll go all out Targa.WHO KNOWS!

Yes, Ultimate and Extreme is basically the same class.

I would recommend the Targa Z subs with the Targa Beast (6k RMS) amplifier. With 2x 15s and 1x Beast you can get 165 easy. But 170 in a palio will take some work. I can give you the subs for R2800 ea and the amp for R7500. (US guys, devide by 7.35 to get the value in US$).

Roger!
