Will I hit 149.3? hmmmm

[Kenny Pollock 10+ year member]

If you remember my other threads, you would know I had an 18" RE SX and an Orion 1200D. I got it metered at a car show a month or two ago, and hit a 140.6 with a stock eletrical system.

Now, I've upgraded to an 18" Fi BTL, an IA 20.1 and tomorrow Robin (iamamp3pimp) is taking a trip down here to work on the car again before the next show (Sunday). We're upgrading to all 1/0, adding a Yellowtop in the trunk, we're cutting out the rear deck...

The record for a trunk car 0-18" class is 149.3. I'm looking to hit that, but not really sure where I'm at. Ordering my 200 amp alternator today, but it won't be here in time for the competition. I blew my PG mids, so I'm ordering some MBQ mids from jmanpc and should have them before the competition.

I hope I see an improvement, it sure as hell seems like it!

hmm...a quiet trunk car at that..

 

[prochobo 10+ year member]

It is possible, but only if the BTL can live up to the hype and be one hell of a sub. You going to run the amp at .5? Also depends on the mic placement/style.

Even still, a 149.3 - I seriously doubt you'll hit that. You've got a daily tuned box (right?), sub up, port wherever, isn't exactly the best setup for a high score. I hope your backseats fold down.

 

[Kenny Pollock 10+ year member]

Back seats do not fold down, but we're chopping up the rear deck tomorrow. It's a VERY quiet/solid trunk car, but there is a HUGE difference from the 18" SX. The box is tuned to 30hz which is great for daily but... not for competitions. It's just a meter competition, I have 30 seconds to get the highest score, not organization-sponsored.

Meter is an AudioControl, so it won't be that accurate...

Tomorrow we run the IA at .5 ohms //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Keep in mind... the videos are with the amp putting out ~900 watts, not the 2400 or so it will put out tomorrow //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Kenny. I hate to do this, but i doubt even more than the last guy, that with that box, youll hit 149.

that box wasnt (isnt) meant as an SPL box. its tuned @ 30 HZ.

If you want to hit 149, we are going to have to do much much more than just gut the rear deck. it is possible, but it is going to require something that wont have much quality at all. hitting a score like that requires a lot of testing, and rebuiding.

will you be loud? you already are.

you were with the SX

will you break that record?

I Really really doubt it
