what a ****** day, we get there and i wire the subs into a 8 ohm load, so the judge comes over and says we have to put u into a modifed class cause ur sub enclosure is past the rear of the door frames,now most of the guys in modified run 4 or more subs and a few thosand watts,so i know right off the bat this isnt gonna be good.so i found out they have a new class that goes on just then number of subs u have.1 = sb1 2 = sb2 etc,now there sno limit on amplifier power so im thinking this is a good idea WRONG. instead of going by peak spl,they take an avg of ur spl over 30 seconds,well here swhat happened.first time up i pick a song with about 3 seconds between bass hits
i start up with 140.2 db but due to the delay between bass hits i end the run with 122.3 db .so by now im 2.2 db outa first place and really pissed.so i park the car and rewire to a 2 ohm load (about an extra 400 watts of power now) and go make another run.now i think im set.well anyways i start the run at 148.7 db except i had left the trunk unlatched and it blew open during my 30 seconds so my avg spl droped to 131.1. good enough for first in y class but dq'ed due to the trunk opening.so i wait a while to see what the reamining cars hit and after a while 1st n the class is 137.6.so i give it one last shot with a diff cd(big mistake) i end up with a peak of 145.1 but an avg of 134.5. 4th place for the event,even though i didnt win i did manage to get my car into a car club,and i really cant be that mad cause 148 db for a car with 2 12's is exceptionally loud.but ive deff got some work to do before the next competition in 3 weeks. i took a ****load of pics and ill post thm up sometime tongiht or tom
