Pioneer Electronics made sound pressure level (SPL) history at the 2003 dB
Drag Finals held October 26 in Nashville with its Premier TS-W5000SPL
</pna/product/detail/0,,2076_4061_35327,00.html> subwoofer.
Scott Owens, owner of Edge Audio in Phoenix, used nine Premier TS-W5000SPL
12-inch subwoofers in his 2002 Ford F-250 SPL truck to win in the Extreme 9+
category with 173.3 decibels, establish the SPL world record in the category
with 172.2 decibels and defeat top SPL competitors in the “death match”
competition with an average decibel level of 166.8.
“I knew I was going to be able to break the record with these speakers when
I was pulling a consistent 171dB in practice just a month ago. The
TS-W5000SPL handled all the torture I put it through,” said Owens. “It’s
incredible that these subwoofers easily held through the gruesome five
minute death match competition without any problems. It proves how well the
Pioneer subs are built.”
Owens began developing the truck in May 2002, breaking it down to the frame
for the construction of the subwoofer enclosure to hold nine Pioneer Premier
TS-W5000SPL subwoofers. In order to withstand the enormous pressure produced
in the truck, steel bars were used to reinforce the frame of the enclosure.
The windshield was also replaced and reconstructed with 2-1/2-inch thick
plexi-glass. Each door of the truck weighs more than 200 pounds and utilizes
1” x 2” aluminum hinges to hold it in place. To prevent air leaks, crucial
in competition, the air inside the truck is vacuum-sealed much like a bank
vault. The truck holds 36 amplifiers, 72 16-volt Turbo Start batteries and
three Ohio Generator 285-amp alternators and produces 115,200 watts of
power.
