This is what will hurt your brain and please your senses

werd, unless you're competing, numbers don't mean mucha nothing. There's people that can hit 150 all day and not be heard a block away from the vehicle. I want to impress upon you the need for a well-constructed box so you get the best performance out of the sub, but as for numbers, who cares. Its not like people can know when you ride down the street what you're hitting.

 

 

This is a response from another thread titled "Can 1 15"SSD hurt your brain?" It just had to become it's own topic. Please enjoy. SPL guys plZ read w. an open heart. THANKS

 

Werd Heard. #s are over-rated and it's what almost killed the sport. People got so entranced w/ #s they forgot about the music. If I wanna go to a drag event only John Force better be there w/ his hottie daugther Ashley.....Now back in the day when we had #s but competed staight up w/ music closer to BassRace of today. We were the first to learn that little things made a louder # like burping, AC on before SPL, and seats forward. This was all figured out by 1991. By 1995 we had learned that any vibration of panels was potential SPL escaping(watch out here comes the ugly space shuttle windshields) Then even later came everybody using the same box(I call it the washermachine box) where its just a baffle behind the passenger seat and you can see the magnets thru the drivers window, then NOT adding mids and highs, and having to bolt your door on before a run (and remember these systems can't play anyones favorite jam to begin with since they don't have upper frequencies and they usually will blow a woofer if a door is open--EVERYTHING MUST BE SEALED UP!!!

 

 

Point is with drag SPL in full force newbies at a stereo contest could no longer walk up and hear there favorite tune in one of the loudest vehicles in the world while watching the front windshield impressively flexing up to 7" and saying WOW ----Instead the windows were all rolled up, doors bolted on, no panels moving and a quite hum and a decibel reading of 172 out of a single sub. WHO CARES-----????/I'll tell you who did----maybe they didn't know it at the time but the people who almost killed our beloved sport. Face the music people(or the lack there of) SPL Drag has it's place today but remember who the true Heroes of yesteryear was and the heroes of today. 159.9 Db is the RECORD and it is held by Tommy McKinney from Tampa FL with the Ho Problems truck with 24 RE 10s (incidentally the ones that would be compared to the SSDs) That record is an average of 30 seconds on music. No farts, no burps, and he can give everyone a demo for as long as they can stand it while the windshield flexes like a real vehicle would. The good ole days are back. Friends don't let friends dress there rides in drag. Become a BassRacer today and help restore what those before you worked so hard for.

Have a laugh everyone-don't take it personal.....Just put some mids& highs in your machines and enjoy the MUSIC (literally).

 

Kill SPL before it kills us

Picture of the best sounding BassRacer I've heard in my life. 16 Havoc 12s with 2K on each. It's a beautiful thing. Hurts like hell and every single note is absolutely crystal clear. If you had this system you would understand why #s don't matter at ALL. People w/ one sub have "Louder" systems but does it sound as sweet as this. HELL no!!!!!!!

i get what he is talking about. about the spl sport being nothing but guys rolling up and picking a frequency and burping once and rolling off. yea that is fun but i don't like doing it myself cause whats the use of doing all that especially if u drive your vehicle everyday and want to listen to your favorite song but can't cause your **** box it tuned to like 76 or so.

being that he is only stating that it should go back to what it use to be but if he reads up some more he would also note that some organizations are having those classes back. for example i compete in usaci and they have a class call streetbeat that is divided into 5 classes and each class depends on what size subs u have and how many. u play only licensed cd's no burned or ipods and it can't be a song with a tone behind it. its a fun sport and i competed in it last year which i think was the first year for it and this year will be my second.

I do realize there is a place for SPL today. Problem is when it originated into DRAG there was really nothing else there. People cam to shows, they saw the loudest vehicles in the world but could not hear them. they looked at the SQ cars but usually didn't think to get a demo. SPL almost killed us. Today #s are so misleading. Who Cares about #'s. I do not want to compete but I can. If I compete it won't be to win a trophy. What else is in it for me. I'd rather win some money and a jacket playing foosball or something. If you want to be remembered take your BassRace style ride out to a show and wang it all day. You will be remembered for your relentless demos but you wouldn't be giving a Chit about the comps. True? Here's a BassRacer from my hometown that gives just such relentless demos all day and then enters a show gets his # and keeps a cool smile on his face no matter what. We should all take a page out of lil jons book.
