um my friend says he has 4 type r 15 inch subwoofers running on 2 capacitors and i think 2 amps running on 4 ohms idk what kind of box he has but probably ported and um he is claiming that he is hitting 163.5 on the meter so is this evern possible if so how and any help is greatly appreciated
i know it is possible but i want to know if its possible with this system bc i dont think it is bc they are not very competetive subwoofers and just doesnt seem like enough wattage and is wired in 4 ohms

Ya, it's possible. But, with a system like that I think he'd have a trophy or two. The highest ever recorded dB rating was 177.7dB. The way to achieve a high dB rating is from many factors: imaging of vehicle, wattage, box build quality, Hz the port is tuned to, etc.

It is possible. There are competitions with sound systems that are able to hit around 150dB.

"dB (as in decibel) drag racing is an obscure but growing international "sport" in which competitors go head-to-head for two or three seconds at a time -- hence the name drag racing -- to establish whose sound system is loudest. The 2002 record, set by a German team of secretive audio engineers, was 177.6 dB."

With enough of the right equipment, it is very possible to reach high dB levels.
