Please remember folks, bigger is NOT always better when it comes to audio. Seems a bit silly to put that much money into a system in the Cougar when the car itself cannot surpass 140-145dB without blowing itself to pieces. Sunroof, doors with no window tracks, hatch itself, rear wiper grommet, clutch grommet -- all of these things fail long before 150dB is reached which vents the pressure and halts the climb up the chart.

I've not only done all of the testing and tuning in the Cougar, but I've been an IASCA/dB Drag judge for 14 years. After everything I've seen the Cougar is by far one of the worst vehicles for SPL (next to a softtop convertible). After running the SPL at fest for the past 4 years madgeo still holds the Cougar record with high 130's -- and that was a massive system that was built properly.

I thought madgeo hit a 148.9 in '05? I'm pretty sure thats what he hit because that is what I have desperatley been aiming for.

I don't have a sunroof, sealed the hatch grommets off completely off, welded the floor pan. Pulled the dash and completely sealed off the outside vent area from the A/C and dynamatted the firewall and sealed everything off and the best I hit was a 147.2

That was in February in FL, I have since added a battery and had my alt redone with an external voltage regulator.

John is right when he says the cougar is the absolute worst car for SPL. I had my whole system hooked up in a friends Yukon and hit a 153.1 without a sweat.
