Celica Forums General Discussion General db drag race results

Well it didnt go as good as i had planned. my setup ended being 3 mtx 6000's and 1 8000 12" subs and an mtx 6500d and mtx 501 amps. didnt know the rules all that well, and i had my back seat out to fit the extra sub i was runing. they made me just up to the second highest class, super street 1-2. on the first run i was the very first competitor, so about 150 people were circled around my car. using one of their db drag CD's, i hit once before the time started and blew a fuse. those CD's hit a shit ton harder than regular ones. so i got humiliated in front of all those people. pulled the car away and replaced the fuse, tested it and blew another. Put one more in and decided i was gonna just push it until it blew.
For those of you unfamiliar with the competition, you have 30 seconds to compete, with your loudest decibal counting as final score. so you can hit just once and it will count. so i gave her hell for about 5 seconds, hit 139.9 db's. not full potential. anyway only 3 in my class so i qualified and gave my competitor a bye, cause the other two were running 150+ decibals. long story short, got a trophy.

i told you man...u had to keep in the 1 sub class or ur done for...u gota hit at least a 145 or higher to compete just in the 1 sub class

Good try though..at least you learned

like nate said...at least you tried.

and you have to start somewehere...you can only do better next time.

the more familiar you are with something the better you will continue to be

well i prolly wont do it again anyway, mostly just for fun. not my kinda crowd there. didnt think audio competitions would bring out so many dirtballs.

Yeah man Nice! I had the same crap happen to me! I have 3 12" Infinity Kappa Perfect DVQ's...and a Fosgate Power BD1501. Son of a bitch hits hard! I hit 148.5 first run and then couldn't duplicate it...One Problem I had was that I had a sealed enclosure...I would have wooped ass with a ported one...but oh well.

yeah my 3 6000s are in a sealed box, but my 8000 was in a ported. i had a total ghetto setup but i didnt care. anybody know or someone who makes good Fiberglass enclosures?

those subs are made for a sealed box...plus with sound pressure its not gonna matter much i doubt with those subs...same amount of air is being pushed

which ones, the 6 or 8 thousand?

the 6000s...actually the 8000 will sounds 100Xs cleaner in a sealed box too

the 6000s...actually the 8000 will sounds 100Xs cleaner in a sealed box too [/quote]well good, cause the 6000s are sealed, and the 8000 isnt mine in the first place, just borrowing from a buddy. i wanna redo my whole setup still, with a Fiberglass sealed enclosure. my setup right now isnt really show quality, while the rest of the car is. well, show quality in these parts of the woods.
