To keep on topic: I know a lot of people keep little tricks under wraps while competing. Remember, everyone in the lanes are usually trying to beat one another & get that trophy. It's been my experience to look at what others are doing and wonder why they did what they did. Try to apply basic knowledge of physics into what you are doing. If it's a sealed up metering run and your leaking air, there's a loss of pressure.... I also fully agree with what was said earlier about the resonant frequencies of the vehicle & build which all play into the cabin space, i.e. "B" pillar wall, trunk build, basic enclosure laying below window line in cargo area....ect. Different layouts will yield different results. That's why you see most of the big players either have a meter or access to one all the time to test any modifications.

Exactly, test & re-test....

No Shit

Lord don't hurry just do it if you all wanted a pic of my car now I would be embarrassed. Conn3cted to a 2up trailer with 3 sleds on it and covered in farm mud

Yup. And hell a half db, it comes down to 10ths most of the time. Tenths man. At the upper level, everyone is SOOoooo close, its like nothing. A piece of tape, here or there, temperature that day,... silly stuff you have to pay attention to, lol, may get you a ring/win or cost you one. Also depends how you meter, or what ORG your in. Sealed up, on the dash, or outlaw, something open, kick stuff, or head rest stuff. All comes into play. Now, we arent loud. So, i cant help much at all. Never have been. Our goals are different than just netting DB's. That said...... Find and use your vehicle resonance. Efficient. Big one to me. Use that to a advantage. Get your enclosure to like what the rig likes, and you will gain large. Use it, instead of fight it. If your into that. We always fight it, because we want to play lower than what the rig likes. Been that way in every build we have done. Blazers liked 44ish and peaked at 35,...and the burb likes about the same, 44, 46. But we want to peak well lower. But, if you can have the rig HELP you, (tunning fork style) instead of hurt you, be more efficient, it helps a ton. When it comes to the lil tricks, it will be hella vehicle dependant. Test your nuts off....... :shrugs:

So it is 100% subjective. Again, you are missing the point. What you think you know you don't, stop. No one is interested in your idiotic fodder.

Post your studies, comparison testing, amp gut reviews, and individual parts testing please.

It is VERY simple. Don't draw subjective opinions as fact. Objective are fine. You confuse the two all the time. Of you didn't I wouldn't ever comment.

If you look through my older posts, I beefed with him on a daily basis, nothing but keyboard mashing fury lol. I have come to respect his advice, as he's never steered me wrong. He's also helped me develop my idea of my ideal system; I have trouble being realistic in my goals lmao. Can't hate the man for helping me out. I actually used to get warning points for talking out my ass as well, just like you. But I sorta realized, when you say things here sometimes people listen, and if I gave bad advice and someone blew their system up, i'd feel like trash. The difference here is, I learned to accept advice from those wiser as a teen, you're a full grown idiot

Literally, I frequent SSA to chase better install skills. Always after a lower note. Trying to keep the information accurate is the responsibility of forum members, so others can learn too.

No, everything else you said was completely subjective and now you are adding objective testing. Completely different discussion. Of course you mix things like crazy so perhaps you don't know the difference. He pooped in his own thread and did that days ago. Keeps going on with nonsense stating it like fact.

Do you even want to learn anything or do you come here just to talk? Honest question, no sarcasm.

I got nothin', lmao I derped Guess I shoulda said original question.

Your memory and capability of looking back is terrible. Thread got jacked when you had no idea what blind testing was. We don't look to start anything, you do that all by yourself.

Problem is what you think you have measured, and quantified as facts, are not true, they're just subjective facts you have convinced yourself are facts. Like saying your NVX, will sound just as good as my HD1200/1, at the same level. Technically it will, but the part your leaving out, is how mine will draw less current, output the same wattage over a wider impedence range, has a greater S/N, so lower noise floor, greater dampening factor, so better control which all will equal what= better sound. And as it took better parts to make such a amp, it will also take more abuse, and more then likely last a lot longer. But yes it did cost more so it should. See I'm not answering by brand loyalty or emotion I'm basing my opinion on hard data that can be measured.

Well luckily I don't have to since I bought my amp from a reputable company I know, and they already have done it. All I had to do is compare the specs to know it's a far superior amp. Now if I had bought a company's amp that claimed 5k watts for $199, then yea I would know it's bull shit and have to test to find its true output. And I didn't bring up the amp thing so let's see your guts.
