First db contest

that sundown or look in the classifieds here for a kicker 2500 they do about 2.9K on the birthsheet and make their power at 2 ohms and htey run around $500 here or the AQ2200 is about $389 and does a rated 2200.

 
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.

 
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.
