The $150 SPL Challenge

[pro-rabbit 5,000+ posts]

Would anyone be interested in such a thing? Sub and amp must have a NEW cost of less then $150. I wouldn't include shipping prices or taxes, but you must be able to prove the purchased price(ebay, online store...)

Any thoughts?

a cool idea but not ever one has a term lab or similar cars they can test in how would you go about that part

I'm sure with minimal resources we can find places to have our setups tested. There are TLs near most of us..just may take me a bit to help you find one.

Also the car/truck is ever ones own problem. Just like a regular SPL setup, you use what you have.

What type of format for the SPL reading? Legal all sealed up, outlaw, a mix?

x2, car/truck doesn't matter....maybe if you want, stick it to "must be daily driver" rule?....anyways, i suggested some rules in my thread. price and restrictions is whatever everyone can agree on.....

oh, and i'm assuming most of us have local shops that could take the reading no prob. i would be using an '01 tahoe, and wouldn't be supprised to see vans and sh1t out there hitting hard, too..... that doesn't discourage me agains hatches and coupes, lol.........

Any other rules besides $150?

Any enclosure? Any amount of cone?

Who's gonna be the smart@$$ and buy up all the $17 woofers? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I was thinking of just keeping the rules to $150 for sub(s) and amp(s) with proof of valid pricing required(all new with website linked prices). Most of us if we do this will go through a few boxes I'm sure...wiring won't make a huge difference since we won't see more then maybe 500rms on the higher side of things.

I would like to see a sub/amp pre-chosen and it all would come down to install. Everyone is claming 90% install/10% equipment. Time to nut up or shut up //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Just scavenge through parts-express!

(Maybe for another contest)
