Thanks For The Luck

Well guys It payed of with a 143.2db at 46hz. I could of hit about another 2 db or more if i would of ran the lane again after tuning but it won 1st place with that so i didnt bother to metter it again. Took the trophy home for me and my shop though and thats whats up. If it wouldnt of been a damn dash spl metter i would of probably pulled in the low to mid 150s though we are trying to get are spl metter at the shop registered so we can tune it and pull all we can on the next show. In summery for shooting from the hip into the dark the number was alright. Could of been better but it was enough to win so im happy

I will post pics soon right now i have to get a new photo programe my pics are too big for the site and my program wont resize them right at the moment

SWEET DUDE...... Conratulations!!!!

I've been wondering something though,.....are you running a Powercell in your car, or just a Cap(s) off the direct power supply? Also, I'm assuming with an SPL reading that high, your box must be ported? I'm trying to remember what it looks like.....where are your ports at?

Just curious.

I hit 170 with a sealed box so ported doesn't mean much (when we tried ported we lost a couple db's do to box configuration)
nice numbers

Sweet.... Man I hate being one of those guys who's never satisfied with what I've got. I mean my system's a lot louder than most daily drivers out there, and while it feels like someone's sitting behind me kicking the back of my seat every time the bass hits, I feel like I need a lot more power.
