You definitely took it back to the Golden years with some classic SPL vehicles like Team Gates and etc. I remember reading about a lot of these in Car Audio Magazine and Car Stereo and Electronics when they covered SPL competitions
GZ Pezi Frank from Germany, builder of the green Olga (it's an east german "Wartburg" car) told me on a car meet, he went to the scrapyard and measured all kind of different vehicles, to find the perfect width for the wavelenghts he wanted to use. His skill is still insane to me, since he reaches 180+ with one single 15" Neo Woofer.
2 honorable mentions are the Mazda RX-7 (Walled) and the Scion XB square body. A vehicle I wish I had for extreme SPL would be the Scion XB. It looks like an enclosure on wheels.
Ah Scottie's old astrovans. I sat in the one with the 14 RE MT's and MA HK4000Ds at Carl Casper in 2005. IIRC that was the first non extreme to break 170 on the TL. Cool stuff, not really into the competition scene anymore, but this was a good trip down memory lane.
@@psementalist I was doing high 130s without trying back in '02 in an '89 Probe, so I'm sure you abolish that with anything modern... I mean, 2 Panasonic 10s on 800w ain't hard to beat. 😅 But yeah, it'd make for a fun little build if some actual power was put to it! 👍🏼
I built my nephew a little system in the early 2000's and he went to his first show to compete after leaving Afghanistan. Ended up in the same class with Terry Brocks and his CRX which he drove down to Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina. It had some Digital Designs 10's and a Hifonics amp in it I believe. At any rate, Terry's car posted over a 150 and both of our jaws nearly hit the floor. We got to experience greatness in that moment and we still talk about it nearly 20 years later. I think my nephew hit a 134.7 in his Honda Civic that the glue was still drying in. :) He is still proud of that second place trophy! The Jeep with the Z series in it was sick and I'll never forget meeting the guy from Richmond. VA with those 6000 watt JBL amps in I vaguely remember was an Astrovan.
I knew what #1 was before even watching this. I had been into car audio since 1992 when Powersupply,DJ Magic Mike were at the top listening for base. Epicenter before rebassed music was around
First loudest vehicle I heard was Jeff Sewers( spelling?)black Orion Chevy dually with 20…12’s. This was around 1992 in Arizona. He claimed he had the highest DB back then.
The system in my Camry hovers around 150 on 3kw. Just 2 - 12s on a synergy wfo 3k. Most I've scored is 151 on music. But 185? That's crazy, talk about purpose-built
Bronco and bronco 2 both go bonkers. The scion XB can go nuts. And as crazy as it sounds I did a VW Rabbit in the late 90s early 2000s with 4 12s and 3k watts that popped a 142.7. a bronco 2 with 2 15s and 3500 watts that got a 151.2 and those were both full interior cars. Box design and targeting your output at the meter is crazy. Had a buddy that helped me learn a lot about that stuff.
T Fade used to use one. Back in the day Shaker used one, but pre 160s it was Tim Maynor, Mark Fakuda, and many others with the Blazer. Then Scott Van Riper and at least one other used a Typhoon.
What about team soundcheck hitting 185.4 using 18 sundown neo 10s and 36 salt 8ks. After all none of these vehicles are stock or even resemble one on the inside
He's not after stupid pressure like that he's after the low lows and hair tricks. Demo rides and DB rides are totally different animals. Just like SQ builds are a different animal again. It's crazy what is out there now.
Best sounding bass friendly car I have come across is the 4 door Chevy citation. Gets the benefit of being a hatchback. It also with the back seats down has a huge amount of space for crazy stuff. On as a side note the way it's built even low powered crappy subs would sound good. While great subs were WOW!!!
i knew it :( ... My first car was an 86 Astro 2 tone tan and burgundy, had a buddy make a decal for the back that said the speaker box, i had 1 15 inch MTX Thunder 8000 think the model was T8154A but it hit SO HARD and put waves in the windows hahah :( i miss it , but i was young n dumb and was on a dirt rd doing fishtails being rear wheel drive strait 6 haha yea i rolled it lol
@@SparkedEd That’s because they are not easy to get in America However in Australia,Brazil,Chile,Europe and many other countries they hold plenty of world records especially in street and pro stock

Always Astro, don't you dare buy a Safari! Scotties were always my favourite, the black the and white were very period correct modified with wheels,lights and body kits tastefully done. Not very common with the other loud vehicles to see them put money into styling like the Astro crowd.

not 180....
180 decibel?🤣🤣🤦♂️
Yes he is the guy that did 180 dB with a single 15 inch custom neo woofer
@@audio_phil 180 Points....not db....
1 woofer ...no way. That's pretty dope
Really great idea for a video! I’ve missed your produced videos and am very happy they’re back.
I have episode 2 filmed, just need to keep up with the workflow.
The good ol'e Astro has been putting numbers up for 25 years. When I walked thru the lanes in the late 90's it was almost all Astros vans.
I wish I could have found a pic I had from a show with an entire pit lane of Astros lined up.
Great video, Ed. I looked up the Termpro photo gallery from 2001 SBN and it's Astro, Astro, Astro, Bronco, Astro... 👍
Ed has always made great videos. He’s a geniouse. I’ve been watching him for a lot of years. I love this guy.
Dude that was awesome!!! Thank you for the awesome list!!! Keep it up Ed!
You bet!
I love the sound of that bass at the beginning of the intro

First Gen Ford Explorer for the Win!! I owned 4 of them consecutively and I loved every single one of them.

Bravo excellent good video content i can't wait to show you & Rich how i use my Sparkedinnovations equipment in my Ford Probe
Thanks man. It's exciting
@SparkedEd i think it's going to be pretty cool nobody has a loud Ford Probe plus it's different from the norm

Very Cool, and super interesting... can't wait to see Dougs astro van finished, in a decade or two ; )
Good things take a long time, haha
Nice list here I agreed with this 1000000%
Good to hear
Getting loud below the window line is actually cool to me.
great video Ed

Glad you like them!

Heard Gates Bronco after Dennis worked on it at streamline audio in Tempe.

I remember that truck from magazines, never in person though. So many good builds back then.
This is great content!
Thank you
Love seeing my car in the video
The crx, also has hit a 172+ by Chris munson, but great video!
HHR ED! great seeing you! nice vid!
Hey, thanks!
When ed speaks. You listen. Point blank.
Thanks for the video man !!
Thanks for watching!
wicked video and very well explained.
Thank you kindly!
I loved this video Ed 🥰🥰

Chevrolet S10 were around the same time as the Honda crx
Good content can’t wait to see more
Appreciate that
Loudest is any with Funkypups!
Ok.. the Funkypup thing is overrated. Lol
Awesome video!
The extended cab mini-trucks were easy to make loud as well.
Definitely. Mazdas and S10s especially
@4:17 thats not the civic. Thats a late 90s model 4 door geo metro that he used
Dang it. That's why we need to keep track of these things
Is that a jackhammer 22” cone assembly to Your left in the background?
Bronco and bronco 2 both go bonkers. The scion XB can go nuts. And as crazy as it sounds I did a VW Rabbit in the late 90s early 2000s with 4 12s and 3k watts that popped a 142.7. a bronco 2 with 2 15s and 3500 watts that got a 151.2 and those were both full interior cars. Box design and targeting your output at the meter is crazy. Had a buddy that helped me learn a lot about that stuff.
Square body s10 was used a ton also.
That and the Blazer was gonna be next if I made the list longer. They were widely used in the early days of competition.
@@SparkedEd we built an s10 and rob kollar also built an s10 that reached 170s in no wall. Only 2 that i know of tho
T Fade used to use one. Back in the day Shaker used one, but pre 160s it was Tim Maynor, Mark Fakuda, and many others with the Blazer. Then Scott Van Riper and at least one other used a Typhoon.
I remember tfades. I think he was first to do 3 18s in a no wall s10. Good times
Square S-10 extended cab is actually one of my dream vehicles. Aired out with a tilt bed of course.
Ed if you ever find some t.s.n.s motors please let me know.
I love this content man!👏👏👏

Hey Ed what's your take on a 2005 Chevy uplander LS? I currently have one. And want to do something crazy with it! Is it worth it?
For the extreme builds it's a battle between RP and Carlos Rodriguez those guys have so much time invested to gain tenths of a db
Takes almost a total rebuild to go up 0.1 db
yall forget the legendary POS from twistedchild420
That's exactly why I own 4 2000 astro van's
Exocontrolto's behemoth will eventually become the loudest vehicle ever.
exo is an awesome mdude and his truck will be a beast, but his goals wont align with 185+
Ehh no. Not even close, ever! 😉
He's not after stupid pressure like that he's after the low lows and hair tricks. Demo rides and DB rides are totally different animals. Just like SQ builds are a different animal again. It's crazy what is out there now.
love , exo, but not with that setup
What a great video! Great information!!!!
Thanks so much!

I haven't seen one of those in a while, but they can surely get down
How can the S10 Blazer not be on this list?
I know that old t3 audio van.
Rp did 187 in meca last year
Out of curiosity, do you know what type of car Delilah is? Carlos' spl vehicle
Carlos Rodriguez? He has an Astrovan I believe
the volvo you mean is called volvo 245 volvo has made many different station wagons that look similar
Competition car audio for a winner for spl is 200k
i knew it :( ...

No Opel Corsa B in this list 😢
I believe the corsa b is more popular then the panda
Not on the world records and championships list and at shows in North America

That’s because they are not easy to get in America

Loudest vehicle type is hatchbacks
Don't say a tahoe isn't loud, forget about Nathan mallards DD build? Somewhere in the 180s
Even if the Volvo 245 was built in Sweden, we have never had a loud Volvo 245 here. Team Loud from Finland had a very loud Volvo 245.

TEAM Loud, Finland
Team SGK, Germany
Team Hal, Brazil
Alan Dante, Brazil
Billy Arnold, Australia
All have done 177dB + with a Volvo 245.
Team ED 🔊✌️
Should do a top 5 sq vehicles. Next
SQ is way too subjective. Probably won’t happen.
@@montanaplease it is but I wanna hear and see what the man has to say on the subject. I want his view opinion.
Jeep Cherokee????
Crx's actually hit 162db, s10 hit 164db and Mazda b2000 hittin over 172db.... Team SoundCheck FOR THE WIN!!!
Team Soundcheck is probably the loudest team. I might do a list of the loudest teams ever

I think once it can no longer function as a vehicle then it's not. It's just a metal box
Metal boxes get loud
