This is completely off topic, but curiousity has gotten the best of me.

What does SPL mean? I see all the time on these fourms. and my Mad tYte JDM verbage is quite lacking.

[Dousan_PG]

some say....


super performance league

:p


(no it really doesnt mean that, but my friend says it does-and yes, he knows what SPL really means haha)

[Rennen]

so when I see pinkgodzira.spl on freshalloy

its means a super performance league of flaming pink badly mispronounced godzillas?

:confused:

i guess it makes perfect sense:p

-Matt

[Dousan_PG]

ah badly spelled in the USA
there's a shop in Japan w/ Pink Godzira.
SPL really means "special"

our friend says "super performance league" for laughs. its pretty funny at the track.

flaming pink? dude, pink rocks. nothing like a pink drift car tearing it up...haha..look at Yashio Factory

hardcore!

where's yeswepromise? he's got the yashio factory in his sig.

[Rennen]

special huh, is that your final answer? :)

Yeah, i have seen pics of the Yashio Factory car, and it is hardcore, and it is also pink. I still have yet to see a US car "hardcore" enough to pull of a bright pink paintjob, but I guess thats just my own personal opinion. I would prob rock a car covered entirely in duct tape before I spent $ to paint my car pink.

[Dousan_PG]

pink cars here are suck
think FnF2! ew

yeah to use the pink, imho you need:

driver skill
lots of power
guts to drive it around town

its not easy stateside. espeically depending what state you live in!

anywyas. yeah its SPL=Special

so when you see, this is (company name) SPL part,it means this is (company name) special (company or privately made) part.

its pretty common abbreviation and used a lot.

ahhh, I see now. Thanks alot, that context makes sense now.

enough post whoring for me for today:D

hmm...i thought that the whole SPL things with cars was from the car stereo crowd.

SPL = sound pressure level.

a way to measure the efficiency and loudness of a speaker, measured in decibels.

http://www.acoustics.salford.ac.uk/acoustics_world/id/Decibels/Decibels.htm

for example, my big speaker i use with my bass is an SWR Goliath Senior, and it has an SPL rating of 110 dB SPL @ 1W1M. that's ****ing loud, by the way ;)

[KiDyNomiTe]

You'd get a lot of girls for driving a pink car :D. Stands out, and anyman that has the balls to drive a pink car prolly gets points for being that brave. But this is my fuzzy logic and I'll never find out what women want (excluding money:cool: )

I'd drive a pink car for sh*ts and giggles.

This might be off topic as well. Has anyone purchased off SPLparts.com? How are they and did shipping take long? Thinking about ordering a couple things from them.

thanks
