    I got first place in my class at a small local show with 3 RE SX 15" tuned to the low 30's and two sundown 1500's. My score was 147.2 playing a test tone sweep since I dont know my peak freq.

    We didnt even know about the show, and was actually headed to my family reunion when I saw guys getting metered outside of a car audio shop. I could get better numbers with a box tuned higher, but my setup is for LSQ, and I really like the SQ of my current setup. with some tweeking, I believe I can get 150db with my box, but I still havent had a chance to tweek my system with a mic.

    The SAZ 1500 is a badass amp that allows for a lot of flexiblity with installation.... I cant wait till I can buy the 100.4

    You know what I went to home depot and got all new bolts and weather stripping for the camper top on that bronco. The top comes off... so I re-enforced it and used rubberized weather seal all around, and MAAN THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE.

    I was loosing a lot of air because I only had 4 screws holding the fiberglass top on. now I got like 20 3/8" bolts and rubber strip.

    I also rode around with the top off yesterday and it sounded like crap thats why I got the idea to double the strength of connection from the fiberglass to the body.

    same volume... same eq settings... the woofers got a lot louder and on some heavy bass songs i started to smell the woofers stinking so I backed off of it.

    but this is at the same settings where I WAS listening normal everday. I think I solved my problem

    PLUS I STILL GOT 2ND PLACE NEVER PLAYING A TEST TONE BEFOR THE SHOW ON THIS SETUP!!!

    $25 @ home depot for screws and lock washers & rubber weather strip

    What class did they put you in?

    I ran 1 SX15 w/ a jbl bp1200.1 in my ext cab silverado last year and was doing 148.6 on the TL.

    Did you run a sweep? If so, the judge probably made you test at ~59hz because that is where you peaked on your sweep?

    I know what is like to be at a non-professional show...alil shop in Mississippi had a show last year, they had a van w/ 6 Lighting Audio 15's sealed wall. They only did 149's...my DD9515 was did 147's w/ my old bp1200.1 at 1.4ohm...hahahaha

    I ended up doing a fun-run in the port and did 62's.....they crowd laughed there @$$3$ off. (The didnt understand what port-wars was, all they saw was a big #)

    What vehicle are you running?

    THe 3 SX are in a 85 Ford Bronco. I got two RE SE's in my 2003 intrepid. My fiberglass shell on the bronco flexes a lot. It wasnt only me because other people in my class were crying that the mic was rigged, and they hit higher numbers on the TL. But we all used the same gay cd and the same mic and I got 2nd.

    The main attraction was a import tuner power slide race, and the audio wasnt taken serously. a few adjustments and I'll get better

    But I still got 2nd place on my first time out with my own install against some people that have been doing this a lot longer than me so I'm very proud that I even placed.

    Most important I LOVE how my system sounds. Not all bass, but I've got 10 mids & highs speakers counting the component tweeters and it sounds crystal clear.

    I would like one of the Sundown 100.4 so all my amps match.

    Congrats! What was your actual score?

    it was only 142???? WTF????

    I had to play some kinda gay cd they had.

    The judge made me playing at 58Hz my box is tuned to 34hz in a SUV I think 45hz would have been better

    a guy that own a big audio shop here with $10,000 setup in my class only beat me out by a couple db's

    I know I should hit around 150~152, but the CD they made me play I didnt like it. My box is tuned at 34hz. I'm louder playing Young Geezy.

    Plus they tested at the footrest.

    my first comp, and I'll get better.

    they can't make you play 58 hrtz.are you sure they did'nt suggest it? because on the term-lab mic they can tell you what frequenzy to play for the loudest score. once you get some testing under your belt come back and tell us how you are doing.

    I'm riding to Ricky H's place soon to let him help me get ready for another comp soon

    I might build a box that is tuned higher just for comps. I know I'm louder than that, if my box is tuned to 34hz I dont know why the judge made me test at 59hz. I love the way it sounds daily on music and I want to get it metered again at the head rest, at about 45hz. and make a few adjusments.

    My back seat is removable so i may take it out to move the box closer to the front.

    but I still got 2nd in my class, and the guy that won deserved to he owns " Smart Shoppers" a big stereo shop here and he was a little louder than I was. He told me that that mic was tight, and they didnt do things professionally. some people got metered at the headreast, some people at the footrest.

    Hell I have never played a test tone in my car before the show, so I got a lot to learn.

    I NEED TO SEE YOU RICKY!!!!

    I'LL CALL 2NITE

    The Ascendant line up will be out soon, they will add a few options to your line up.

    RE SX 15 / 18

    I'm finishing a box for 3 SX 15's and I only have one in my suv now. My friends cant believe that one 15 is louder than their 2 12's.

    I tell them wait till this weekend when all 3 are playing :horse:

    Hey Gator I thought that you recieved some with the amps. If not I may have one. I'll give you a call later just got back in the country.

    What up Ricky?

    See what u got.... I really want a windsheild banner, and a smaller logo to put on my speaker box.

    If you can cover it i will pay you back this weekend.

    We have a small comp coming up, and I want you to look over my setup before I go into battle

    Im going 3 RE SX

    2 sundown 1500's

    1000 cca under the hood

    and a kinetik 2400 in the back.

    200a DB alternator

    I may get another 2400 if you think I need it.

    All going in a 85' Bronco on deep dish 22" rims :finger:

    I need to see you this weekend before the show, just check it out and see if there anything i might have overlooked

    I can paypal you if you need me to.... and I'm thinking about another 1500 pretty soon.....HOLLA

    Let me know if you lost me number and I'll shoot it to you.

    Part of the reason I chose Sundown amps over other brands is #1 the product is PIMP. #2 Cusotmer service / support localy. #3 not everbody and their cousin are using them around here...... not yet anyway.

    I bought RE SE 12's 3yrs ago before they were even well known products, and I like smaller comany because you pay for product and not a bunch of hype and advertising. Even though RE is geting a lil stuck up and prices are TOO HIGH, I still get a discount close to prices years ago :woot:

    Thanks playa'!!!
