Anyone else go to a competition and find out it fails? For instance, last year I went to a local one. I got there and saw all kinds of cars, mostly collector cars and thought it might be good. Then I find out that the comp was just a side part of a whole other car show. Then it comes time for the stereo competition and 2 frickin cars pull up. One had a Pyle 15" in a ported box (at least it wasn't a prefab) powered off of a Pyle "3000 watt" amp. Needless to say i rofled. Then I looked in the next car and it had 2 pioneer thin-mounts under the seats (In a car that had a shit ton of trunk space) in a sealed prefab with an off brand "4000 watt" amp They were both running 8 awg wire. After they measured each car, they announced the results. Apparently the Pyle hit 149 db's and the thin mounts hit 146 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Found out they measured with a radioshack spl meter. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

Worse one was last year at Heatwave... Burned up an Iraggi Alt and then my spare EA, smoked 3 18's, all in 1 day, had to find a autoparts store and get an alt so I could drive home. lool

Oh and it was about 102 outside, bad weekend

Dam. I would have just lit the car on fire if that happened to me lol. Then tell the insurance that it was an electrical fire.
