Silver Member Username: Wolfman1966WEST MONROE , LOUISIANA USA Post Number: 629 Registered: Jan-06 | Hey guys, went to Marshall Whites comp today at Hooters. Just went to check things out, and see what happened. Was pretty cool, had about 15 entries. Most of them, I was not too impressed...anywhere from mid 120's to high 130's. However, there were a couple that made it into the 140's. And one made it up to 150. The one that hit 150 was a silver SUV (bronco, if I remember right)...with eight 12's and 2-1000watt amps. Somebody said that he used to have the same setup, but with 4-1000watt amps....sure wish I could have heard that. Kinda feel sorry for the guy that was putting the mic in, his ears were hurting, and he didn't get in the bronco for its second run. I didnt stay long enough to see how Marshalls truck did, but I stood next to it, before the comp. and with that 15 hitting hard, I could feel the waves of pressure coming out the open door. They took video and pics, so maybe he will post them, and post some more info. |

There was a sactioned Usaci event down their way. I only had 13 entries, but ALOT reruns and quite a few spectators. Class 1 (2 10's or 1 12"): Daniel---140.5 Justin---138.6 Kyle---138.4 Jeffrey---133.3 Class 2 (3 10's, 2 12's, or 1 15") David---141.1 Renee---137.8 Garrett---136.7 Class 3 (open) Ron (the silver blazer)---150.3 Dustin---141.3 Patrick---139.7 Michael---138.6 Daniel---138.0 Class 4 (30sec average on music): Renee---134.4 Ron's blazer was nice. I talked to him and he is prolly going to 4 autotech 1400.1's soon. He had 8 12's in a sealed V-wall. He did 149.5 his first run w/ my friend Garrett holding the meter, I got in the truck hand held it for the second run. I got him to lean his seats up and he did that 150.3.  fun fun Garrett isn't used to all that bass, he rides in my truck some times but never gets blasted back to back like that. lmao I will post pics in a few days. I didnt take pics but a friend did. Oh...and btw, I only did 146.7dB, but i peaked at 41-42hz. My new box is tuned WAY too low to burp in my truck. Its a daily beater for now...I built it thursday and this was the first time i metered it. Its 4.5cuft w/ 4 4" flares. Tunes to ~37hz if i remember currectly. I'm going to shorten the ports and get my peak back up to ~50-52hz sooner or later. Should be interesting then. The next comp will prolly be at Desaird Pawn in Monroe. They are swapping from a pawn shop to an audio shop pretty soon and are very interested in getting the comp scene going again around here. They just picked up Memphis, Autotech, and MTX...and they want me to help em out w/ a demo car. I want to try and get a comp going every 5th week or so around here. Once word gets out about comps being around again, i will have more people attending. Oh...and wolfman, how did you like that DD? |

Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 3461 Registered: Mar-04 | We ran outlaw w/ my TL. Meter in the passenger side kick....like USACi but no globe. A few people opt-ed to go legal though. Pretty much everyone just had daily beaters. For daily, some of the installs were nice. There was a yellow Z that was very nice! And the guy that won class 1 ran 2 10's in a ext cab ranger if i remember correctly. Everyone there was asking when the next comp would be....maybe i can get SPL back on its feet in northeast Louisiana. Oh...and wolfman, the reason my DD felt really loud was because it was peaking at a pretty low note. My truck likes ~50hz for SPL though. |
