well i got metered yesterday at the MECA 2X MDA crank it up event, well on the way there my alternator went =[ dang irragi alts im fed up with him, well with battery voltage dropping down to 11.3 i peaked at 43 box tuned to 40, and i did a 146.6 at the head rest, i fig that wont too bad for my first time, cant wait till i get that alt fixed or get a new one see what it does and then also play around with the box tuning etc etc etc. what yall think?
I checked your profile do you run 2x15's and 2x8"s ????
If it's just the 2x15"s and 2krms on them 146.6db is not too shabby dude. And like you said tweak the box as you can get for sure get louder (if thats what your into). My buddy has 2krms and does 143.6 with a singe 15" the same as one of yours and him and his dad built the box in just over 2 hrs!
yea it was on a TL mic, MECA does theres at the headrest, and that was jus 2 15's the 8's are jus mid bass so i didnt have them on or nothing, and well i did aeroports so that was jus my daily ports, cut me some pipe to change my tuning for comps AERO ports =]]] i love em, so that wont too bad under my conditions, i lost to a guy with a CRX with 4 15's pretty much walled (punches) and i think i got cheated, cuz his first run he did a 145.4 on his peak tone, and i did a 146.6 on my peak tone, but then his next run he did a 147.7 playing white gurl(i didnt think we could use music and on top of that it was a burnt CD =[) so since he did better i had white gurl CD not a burnt one and i only did a 144.2 i believe so he goes up alot and i go down alot =[
well i got a 240 alt, which when works right which half the time it dont(the internal regulator is screwed up to begin with) my voltage sits at 14.7-14.9 all day long, plus i got 3 batts, over 80 foot of 0 gauge, and 0 gauge ran to about a foot be4 it goes into the amp which goes into a distro box and comes out into 4 gauge and then goes through the fuse and then into the amp so less than a foot of 4 gauge
using a test tone is the easiest way to hit your loudest spl...which also means that crx could hit louder than a 147.7 db...and it should with four 15's anyway...im not sure how a crx does with a wall but ive seen a guy hit 150 db in a crx with one 18 firing up in a spl box that sat under the window line
its a 2000 cougar, haha naa still havent played with diff box designs i dont have any more room, but i have thought about firing subs forward and ports up, right now i have subs up port up, the subs hitting right off the rear glass, imma play with the port tuning tho,
but i dont understand how he didnt hit high with his test tone, but he only had 2 matchin subs lol they was all dif punches lol it was funny, and even common chamber box =/... but i was jus surprised about him not hitting higher with the test tone, but when he ran a burnt CD he did hit higher
yea just trim it man, i had a zx1000.1 and we ran 0 gauge into it no problem jus trimmed it until it fit, and same with the ground, the bigger and shorter the ground we did, it really makes a difference
I would actually think you should be able to pull higher than a 146 at the headrest with 2 L7s and 2000 watts in a hatch. I would think 146 sealed at the dash would be more like what you should be seeing.
What D-Money did not mention is that it was a 30second burp. He was talking about it earlier to me. This could have effected his score lol. But a very good first score none-the-less.
