Decisions - to Compete or Not to Compete

[MisterGrubbs 5,000+ posts]

So in dbdrag, if I ran two 15's, irregardless of the power i have going to them, I'd be in street C, correct? Two amps FYI

My other question would be in order to compete in street c, is there any limitation on upgrading the alt and the amt of batteries i can have?

One battery under hood. Car off. Enclosure under window line. Everything kept factory!

and yes i believe that is Street C.

As long as it's not a constant tone. i.e 30 second 40hz test tone.

It's called cheating.

I dont wanna try to "control" my system, I'm an idiot an I'll mess up

Just being loud is the goal so db drag would be the way to go?

So with street C, the car is off, and it's still 30 seconds of music???

And only one battery, which is like a red top under the hood, no kinetik 2400's in the trunk? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Nope not 30 second of music. basically, just a 3 second BURP of a certain test tone. And for the battery theres a certain size limit u can have. Like 800 cu in..or something.. someone correct me.

Don't get too confident there buddy. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Remember that termlabs are not always perfectly consistent with each other.

Take db drag finals this year for example. Ben "mr. automatic" Gailey had done a 139.9 EVERY SHOW he did (I think it was 15 shows). He got to world finals (and on a different termlab) and rarely did a 139.9. During practice he did a 140.0 or higher EVERY time. Luckily he kept it together during qualifying and eliminations during the first day and secured his spot in the semifinals.

But, during his semifinal run, he busted out again.

My buddy (whose box was built by me 4 days earlier //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif ) ended up winning the 139.9 class. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

No such thing as "set it and forget it" when it comes to bassrace. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Doesnt' matter since you have to have your vehicle off in the lanes //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif.

It is 800cu in, I was thinking a red top under the hood and a kinetik hc2400 in the trunk, it's right at 740cu in, I checked

Outside of that my only question would be about the alternator

I'm sure a 2400 an that redtop will handle a 5 second burp at 5kw rms, ya think? lol

So basically I would pull up into the lanes, they'd put in the mic

Anddddd I would play tones for 30 seconds(or 3 seconds even just once if I've already got it figured out and know what I wanna do, right?)

Yes it is, but the car has to be off during your run.
