[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8630707, member: 614752"] 146 and some change isn't bad for 2000W type class. Of course 2K does no no favors if your options are 0-1500 and 1500-3000. You'd probably be close to the same power/score and more competitive if you could swap that amp with Sundown SAZ1500D or some other under-rated 1500. Jeff had some great advice, but to summarize the important bits you need to own a meter and you need to test EVERYTHING. Deadening can get very expensive and may gain or lose. If you're not prepared to test, add a bit, test again, then potentially rip it all off if it doesn't help, don't bother. Or if you just want to deaden things go for it and let the chips fall where they may as far as numbers. Buy gorilla tape. You can probably gain half a dB just with that. Here's some things to try. Don't get hung up on what did and didn't work for the threadstarter. Just try EVERYTHING and test, keep notes.
