checkin this forum everyday huh?

whats the optimum port to box ratio, and in ppl's experience do short wide sorts work better? or long skinny ports???

What the hell ever happened to this thread? :(
No time or money to do anything this year, but will hopefully have a tl and some more equipment/tools by the end of the year :D.
Before I had asked what kind of vehicle to get and I was told it depends on the organization. How do I know what vehicle will be good for what organization? :confused: vehicle will most likely be an extened cab tacoma. Looking to get into dbrag, because it seems thats all there is in iowa.

cant go wrong with a crx in any organization, thats like the most popular vehicle you see at major events :(

I already have a tacoma and doubt I'll have the funds for a different ride. If so, I'd prolly just keep my s10 blazer, but need some $....so its up for sale

I have a 4cube box(after displacement) for my SX. I got metered yesterday,i got a 139.3. Im sure i can get a 140 had i fired the sub to the side. but will a 3.5cube box change my results in my favor. I figured 4cubes would give me more output. i want get better numbers. What if i make a box that is a little bit bigger?

first off, the vehicle is the most important..

you need something with large windows, that are reletively square..

then you need a low tuning... and the right song

I'm no expert... but... in dbdrag at least I noticed that the loudest folks had or the easiest vehicles to get loud -

for Street Classes go for a CRX, 4 door Explorer 95-01(NOT A 2DR I found that out the hard way :( ) or if you can find one a Panda or something small. A Jeep Wrangler made it up there a lil while back too.

Super Street NW/W Classes, as above with the addition of Caravan's, Astro's, Big Old Ford Vans, SUV's, Vans or pickups with cutthrough's/blowthroughs.

Find out what your vehicle likes then exploit that frequency.. tune a lil below so your peak is where you want it to be.

If you look what's dominating MECA right now, you cannot win in MECA street class without a CRX...PERIOD.

These are the vehciles with the highest scores in MECA's street class right now

Current highest SPL Sreet Scores

CLASS NAME VEHICLE
-----------------------------------------------
Street 1 : Joeseph Ault, Sr. -- CRX
Street 2 : Dan Bates -- CRX
Street 3 : Jack Thomas -- CRX
Street 4 : Terry Shores -- CRX
Street 5 : Eric Balmert -- CRX

at least im in 2nd with a my Jeep in street 3 :(

so if your wanting to compete in MECA, buy a CRX

How do i know what my car likes, is there a certain process to achieve this. and also I know most people who do SPL tune high. but i am curious I would like to attempt now to go for the lower notes like 28hz or better yet go for more SQl I don't know man, It feels like puberty again,so many things i would like to do but i don't know what to do.

Ive got 2 questions.....

1. How do you compete in AS with a hatchback....isnt the window line usually within a foot of the bottom of the hatch??..especially the hatch window??

2. How do you improve your driveby score. Because ive noticed that cars with less SPL inside the car can get a higher drive by score than a car with a higher SPL inside the car....?? is this just all car dependant???
