Post Number: 1263 Registered: May-05 | "For Immediate Release: Kansas City Missouri, October 15, 2005 - IASCA Competitor member Scott Owens of Team Edge Audio, Tempe, Arizona has accomplished what many once labeled the impossible. In the IASCA IdBL competition lanes at the USACi / IASCA Unified Finals, Scott and his team broke the 180dB mark for the first time in Soundoff history. Never before on any meter, in any country, has this SPL barrier been broken. The new world record in IASCA IdBL was recorded at 180.3 dB and was backed up with a second run matching the first. Scott competes with his Silver Ford F150 in the IASCA Ultimate 4 Division. When asked what Team Edge Audio did to reach this milestone, Owens said, i½I attribute it to long hours, good record keeping and unrelenting teamwork. You cani½t get where you want to go, unless you identify what you did to get to where you are. Our team members work very well together; and with the support of our sponsors Pioneer, Scosche, Kinetik and Ohio Generator we have the tools and knowledge to edge out these incredible numbersi½. Owensi½ score was measured on the IASCA SA 3056 SPL meter with the SPL 190 pressure sensor manufactured by Audiocontrol. Chris Kane of Audiocontrol was at the event and remarked i½iti½s amazing! A decade ago we got some strange looks when we introduced the SPL 150 microphone. Iti½s a good thing we developed the SPL190 sensor; now I wonder how long iti½ll be before we need the i½SPL 200i½. IASCA Worldwide Director (and former IdBL champion) Moe Sabourin said i½I know what it takes to squeak out those last few points at the top of the SPL scale and all I can say is that Scott and his teammates has what it takesi½! Complete results of the IASCA Competition at the Unified Finals will be posted right after the event; please visit www.iasca.com." |

Post Number: 1277 Registered: May-05 | "What type of subs/amps/alternators/batteries are these guys using?" specifics: besides the extensive work done to the truck itself, in 2002 he ran nine ts-5000spl behind a 2" sheet of lexan. each one strapped to four rf bd 1500, 6000watts/sub. all powered by 72 turbo start batteries w/unsaid number of ohio generators. he recently switched it up and dropped the fosgates. he now runs 13 ts-w5000's powered by 52 prs-d5000 amps. "They're pretty cheap too, but I question their ability to even produce "sound" and their ability to last...." the subs retail for 900.00/pop. mechanically, they are very durable. anything that takes abusive power at this level of competition has to have exceptional structural integrity. although they probably do lack on the sq side of things (understatement). but of course at 180db that's probably a moot point  thermally, the ceramic-clad vc are supposed to be extremely durable as well (according to scott and others). i'm an sq(l) guy amyself, but this seems to be quite the accomplishment. |
