Lot of knowledgeable people around the MA area, you should learn a good bit. Are you coming up to sanford in june/july?

You picked a really bad track. The trick to impressive looking 30 second average is to pick a "song" that's basically a 30 second sine wave at your peak. That's how ppl do a 30 second average at only 1db down from their burp #.
If you want 150 out of the trunk you'll need better sub, much more power, and probably higher tuning to make it easier.

im not looking to get near 150 with my setup- that was just an example.

Download '''throw it up" by lil jon, it has a pretty much uninterrupted 45hz note.

Get to the show early next weekend and we can find a good track for you to use.

Is this sealed on the dash? Sounds a lot like my first metered setup. I had a 2510 on ~ 1200w. Did 141@41hz (outlaw) from the trunk of my Lexus. I haven't checked up since. Lol.

And hispls is right. They key to a good 30sec avg score is picking the right song. They have a similar class in USACi called "street beat." But they have a special disk to use. It's the same "song" just at different frequencies. It's a super constant bass track. Virtually zero breaks in the bass line.

We must be listening to different versions of throw it up, because there are 3 different frequencies in that. Push dat hoe by lil jon has a very constant 44hz (iirc) note that would work well, however.

I believe there are multiple "versions". Whatever one I pirated is 45hz protty much uninterrupted.

This track is right around there as well and works nicely for 30sec averages:

What they do in TNESPL and NESPL is what they call "sealed at the dash" FIY

so i had it metered today with a term lab on the windsheild, my car peaks at 46htz. best on tones was 135db, but when we did music for rookie class it was only 118. i wastold that in the rookie class they average the whole 30 seconds of music to determine the scoreI just really dont understand much about competeing and how someone can have a car that does 150 on music in the trunk - 32db louder than my car seems unrealistic.

thanks for any help

the org i compete in is average on music. at 46hz i would try: the song beamer benz bentley-llyod banks(46hz)... and i would try firing the port into the car instead, firing this way should bring you up a bit. my wifey's daily car is a ford focus trunk setup firing forward into cabin,has stock everything, no xtra batteries, a single kicker L7 sqaure, and a kicker zx1000.1, and she competed a few times as well. she's able to pull 143db average on music with the it being hot inside her car, and 144+db average on music by running her AC, and bringing the temperature down in her car. i could probly make hers louder by sealin the trunk off but she is happy the way it is. so i would try firing forward that would probly gain you a bit
