[QUOTE="CertifiedHoodClassic, post: 8913458, member: 685714"] Did 144.89 dB music average, but the org I compete in raised the time for music averages to 45 seconds, which is very brutal. I had to turn it down a couple clicks around 35-40 seconds because I was smelling it. Squeezed out second in a group of 3. I also did a burp class and hit 146.91 dB at 40 hz. I only have one amp hooked up (the subs can't take the 2nd usually) and I clipped it pretty hard, but the coils were cool to the touch afterwards. In hindsight, I should've hooked them both up and just sent it. I maybe would've been close to 150, double power adds 3 dB in theory but who knows in reality. Power losses through panel warping such might've prevented it. Next time I go to a meet I'll hook up both amps. Took first because no one happened to be in that category on the day. The dreamscicles seem to be much more efficient, using maybe 1/3rd the power but only down 2-3 dB (ball park estimate haven't ever clamped it), but there's no beating the power handling I had before. For the price I paid ($700 for the pair used) they're incredible. I also competed in a fun class where the meter is placed on stand 30" away from the car with the door open and I did over 130 outside the car. I took last of 3💀 [/QUOTE]
