AQ doesn't do 2200 @ 2 ohms though

Yea, I hated having to wear the ear muffs. I know dam well my stuff hits harder than that. Also, I had a buddy with me and he was wasted. Well his stupid AZZ opened the wrong door during the test..... I wont take him with me to anymore contest. Very embaressing to have a drunk friend acting a fool.

My buddy in his Saturn SC2 hit 145.xx @ 34Hz with 750 watts to each of his 2 12's...so, meh. But still not horrible.

ya subzero.... you just need some box and tuning work.... do whatever you have to, to find someone that has a spl mic setup and then find someone that masters in spl boxes.

I wouldn't just run rated power to those subs. They can pry take a couple hundred more each. I would pry push them with 1100-1250 each. Get aq,kicker, or if ur tryin to stay cheap, a hifonics.

your box fitting problem is very fixable. a sawzall is your friend. was able to get a 8 cubic foot box in my trunk also a cavalier.

Well I really dont know how much power was going to my subs, but I would bet $ that it was way less than RMS requirments. As far as the sawzaw... no. I dont want to do anything to this car. I intend to trade it in later and get something way better and cheaper(hopefully). I tell you what... this car rattles like a SOB now. I need a dynamat miricle. As for the power problem... I need to get two new bats and upgrade the under compartment power cables. Then I need to "find a amp that does atleast 1800rms @ 2ohms."

And another thing. no contest till ******** November!!! what the hell is up with that? Why are the shops flaking out so badly? Whats the deal with the organizations?

Update on this subject...

I hit 142.4 @ 39hz? I think it was, last weekend. I had to drop the load to

.5 and put some cheappy deadener in the trunk. I think I might try one more show with these subs, then I am changing out for better subs. These will be reconed before the next show. I like the way soundstream sounds. My car doesnt. it is falling apart. everything is rattleing now. the trunk sounds like a bag or tin cans when the lows hit. I will try to get some work done my second skin when I got the cash, or try to do it myself. Now I want louder, go figure....

When you do SPL shows (burps) you do a sweep if you don't know your frequency. You're box may be tuned to 39, but I bet you don't know the resonant frequency of your car. I bet you are louder then that number you did.
