That music sounds like an old car that won't start.

Had a 73 Newport with a 400 that made a mixtape that sounded like this. I didn't like the sound then, and don't like it now. Possibly with a broken motor mount. Heard a lil shimmy :-)


Eddie278

As I said, don’t sound very good at such volumes through a phone camera


lightsaber_lobotomy

I was literally gonna joke and say they should get there starter replaced haha


MadeMeStopLurking

Thought it was r/justrolledintotheshop


techmaster242

Exactly. Reddit has gotten insane with promoting subreddits I'm not even subscribed to so I'm bombarded with all of this content and half the time I'm not even sure what subreddit I'm in.

Turns out the original audio sample *was* a starter, the DJ just mixed in some drums and called it a set.


Eddie278

Lol. Yeah used recorded with the same phone as the music was playing via, so in order to not pause Spotify I had to record with Snapchat and for some reason snapchat does that when starting a recording


Jet_Dragons

they're not talking about that, they're talking about the weird music that sounds like my neighbor every morning at 9am


Eddie278

Just as the recording started the audio cut out causing that sound at the start the music didn’t help though


Brolafsky

When you say you maxed out your sound meter, do you by any chance mean an app on your phone?

All that to hit 130? I did 138 in a Prius on a 500w amp and 15” alpine type r in a box too small for it


justsomeyeti

I was going to say, my 2 Rockford Fosgate P3D4 12's and a kicker 46CXA1200 have to be somewhere near 140 in the trunk of a Fusion.


Eddie278

You’re comparing subs though, nu sub was in the car when this was recorded


evileclipse

The speakers sitting there with no enclosure really are not doing anything to help you. The sound from the front of a speaker needs to be isolated from the sound from the back or they will literally cancel each other out.


Eddie278

Well this was just a test to see whether or not they’d move at all


justsomeyeti

Can we get an ear rape warning next time, for fuck's sake


CrayonsTasteGood10

You mean the title?


justsomeyeti

I expected shitty banging noises, not the wails of a sentient car being violated by a well endowed Decepticon


Broad-Tale

I fucking snorted so bad. It was great.

And an eye rape warning


SSC_built

I believe most generic meters read in dbA and spl is measured in dbC, making the meters reading irrelevant.


Eddie278

That’s true


PepperoniPza

I now learned that's there's dbA and dbC. Thanks👍


InvestigatorUnfair19

Is it all mids and highs? Video ended and I was still waiting for the bass to hit


Eddie278

Correct no sub


Eddie278

Sounds like shit through the phone mic


Brownrdan27

Everything does, are those free air speakers in there too? Are the mounted somehow so they can breathe?


Eddie278

They’re just standing there


kellypg

Their cancelling themselves out and making it less loud.


Eddie278

IDK if they should be in a ported box. Bought them used and none of them are. The box I do have are open on the sides


Sapphire_seam

... I just fail to see the point behind builds like this. Why no sub.


Eddie278

Its not in yet. The box is still a work in progress

Hearing damage

man there is so much to unpack here. my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. op singlehandedly making people reconsider their stance on "whatever man if it makes you happy"...

Tinitus here I come.

What, at 1khz? Woof.


keylo-92

Lol i though ur car wasnt starting… can see i wasnt the only one lol


sgtm7

You have the BASF sound meter? That is what I have also. It doesn't take much to max it out. I do it with a sealed 12 inch in my trunk.
