MECA comp today PICS 172 DB on TL

[jaco 10+ year member]

well the MECA event was today, and it was my first time competing.

i met another CA member there, i think his user is cartronics.

he took home alot of trophies.

i was in street 3 and took first place 140.0 on TL metered at headrest.

but danny hays wasn't there but his dad brought the 1950 modle chevy pannel wagon.

he did a 172.4 and i got some pics of it since it's the second loudest in the USA

this thing is very uneak for an SPL vehicle, looks super kool, and has 2" lexan windows. when he burped 172 you could bearly hear it out side of the vehicle.

his amps and about 400 pounds of 0 gauge wire and 26 kinetik batteries

the subs just 2 15" DD in sealed enclosures very impressive for sealed

a pic of the inside all MDF

my lil CRX

a random blazer that looked nice.

for my first event it was a blast even it was my first event, and i got $20 for first place in a filled class.

i also got a medal for PHAT INSTALL

headrest measurement levels the playing field. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

At least I think so.

Wish I could have made it down for the show, it was hosted by a pair of my teammates (stacy and angela adams). But a 6 hour drive and no money held me back. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

What I really can't wait for is when audio hits the max limits of DB. I think the new goal will have to be to max out the DB with the least amount of power. Getting closer and closer every year, I know were still a bit off, but still I can see it happening in my lifetime.
