dude come to one of the meca comps in tn and ill help you. i did a 142.6 with a little over 1 kw with an l7 15 in a trunk car at 39hz at the head. one kid did a 145 with one 12 and 2kw. i am by no means an expert but your score should be waaaaaaaaay higher.

i hope i hit a 140 in a trunk car with my fi q 12" d2 running off of 1300 @ 4 ohms from 2 1000D's sundowns.. when i get 2nd sub not sure if ill stay with fi, but i hoping for 144's with another sub. ported at 34ish. and run at 2000 @ 2 ohm ill do sub foward, and prob port through rear deck and seal the back trunk off.

Do able for both?

Where was the mic located?

It was legal on the dash sealed.

actually I was hoping for 140 but I think if I tuned a bit higher I could get it.
Orion puts out 1700 @ 2 but I have the gains down for about 1k right now.

Quick question. How does the gain setting on your amp lower the output power to 1k.??

I wonder what mine is gonna do haha.

It may not be high, but at least I will sleep comfortably knowing that bdawson will never hit 150....

Oh fuck you. I may not hit 150. But I'll be happy with a solid 147-148.

That seems like a small enclosure for that size sub, which would mean its gonna require more power to reach its full potential.

I dont know I read it on ca.com somewhere........

Gains can be used to limit amplifier output, assuming your gains have downward adjustment available. Its quite common to use gains to level match speakers when blending a fully active system together, for example.

Ya what he said......Thanks for the help there

I hit a 139 with one 10" off of 800 watts //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Thansk for adding the insult to my bleeding psychie(sp?)

It's still not limiting the amplifiers output. It's for matching the input from the head unit. It does NOT stop the amp from putting out its potential. Lowering a gain only means you have to turn up the volume louder to reach the amp's full potential. Which is counter productive as turning MOST head units up to full volume will clip the preouts and send a clipped signal to the amps. But whatever, I was off topic anyway.
