Yup we have a meter. I'm also working on judges certification for meca.

Chop localy the S10 is one of the favorite bases. I have 4 proven designs all of which are over 150 in the lanes. Infact the lowest score is 150 using 2 15" bl's and 3k clamped. The highest one is a MECA record holder with a 154 on music and 2 3500 AQ's.

Battery choice has been made!! Xstatic Batcap 4000 will be purchasing 2 for the rear and 1 battcap 2000 for the engine bay Using these coupled with a 240 amp alt I should be able to support 12k easy. Each 4000 can handle a 6000 amp burst. I got sponsored. Welcome the newest Xstatic team member

I suppose that means I can't go wrong with those choices I guess. I have only seen one batcap user on the west coast so I don't have any personal ref's. You guys got any experience with them?

Well with the 2010 season over and 2011 begining shortly I'm planning on a new build. With respect to my IAK brothers please feel free to comment and guide the build as much as possible. SPL specific vehicle: undecided either a CRX or a S10 Electrical: I'm starting to purchase battery's this Friday. Batterys: x 3 a: XS power 3100 b: NSB 90's c: Batcap 3000's. Alt: fully external regulated and fully adjustable to run up to 16 volts a: Mechman b: Ohio Generator (leaning this way) AMP: budget 1200 to 1400 a: DDM4a b: Soundigital 8 or 12k Sub: I may try all of these will see Single 15 a: DD 9915 b: Sundown Nightshade c: DC audio Thanks for the help I will be running MECA again this year. My goal is 152-154 Pretty lofty

I posted a 143.5 for california state championship in AS2

I posted 1st in my class with sundown amps too. California State Champion AS2 Soapbox

Price for the pair?

What happened to the second skin e-mail specials which seemed frequent?

Ohio generator is worth checking out!

Shizzon what class are you in?

I used the pap for the state finals run. I did change to dual 1 ohm but I also lost a db. I did have some stresses running the pap though. I ordered the recone like 2 weeks ago contingent upon getting it before the finals .... well he waited so late that I had to glue it the night before the event. On that note he did overnight the package. The shirt arrived yesterday Thank you Chop.

So how does California State Champion in AS2 sound? Not to mention State Record holder. I'm 2 db off of National Record in the AS2 class. I posted 142.5 with Sundown 1500 on a 80 amp fuse 1yellowtop battery and the car off.

Rank you know State finals are this weekend. In Visialia it's like a 3 hr drive.

Hawk you had better make the State Finals this weekend even if it's just to support me! My recone is ordered and paul said it was almost done however he hasn't sent me a shipping number... were cutting it close. I'm getting worried I'll get my butt handed to me at the finals running the 8's in AS2 class. I wish they would keep the scores updated on the meca site!!!! I haven't seen any post better than my scores in California but..... I'm realy waffling on what to run and what class. HElP. Here are my options 1- SA 8 and a 30 amp fuse AS1.... I should beable to repeat the 137.5 as long as the fuse holds out long enough for a score to register on the tl. 3 - SA-8's and a 80 amp fuse AS2. Some where around 139-140 If the dang pap comes in I changed the coil configuration to dual 1 ohm. I have NO idea what it will post. With the dual 2 I posted like 143. If I can repeat this it should set a state record! Biggest bummer is I neglected to sign up as a meca member so even though I will most like have the record it will be un offical FTL because I don't have 35 points going into the event. I'm planning a new build tax return is for sure getting a 7-12 k amp.... And I'm looking for a crx now. Keep your eyes out for reviews of the DDM4a for me please.

http://www.youtube.com/user/The661goodtimes#p/u/13/SuQZM3MV8pM Testing with 1 sa 8

I took home 1st place AS 2 3 sa8's and a handful of fuses I had them wired to .3 this resulted in 137.9 However, my testing is all over the place I was able to post a 135.7 with one sa-8. Back to the wood shed for another box. So far the PAP has scored the highest. 144.9 I need a recone!

Chop did you ever get a tattoo with that machine I sent you?

Chicagofan posted up some scores with 4 Steve Mead ran 4 off a 3500 I've ran several configurations and am working on a crx box for 3 currently. I hit 137.5 on the thermlab @ 55 in my Honda Fit with 1 SA - 8 SAZ 1500 @ 1 ohm I found the magic db formula for my car and the sa 8 hopefully I can get 2-3 db each with the addition of 2 more. Same car with a 15" Cascade omega @ 1ohm = 144 Install dependent for sure. I've fabricated ed up some crappy designs too. 3 in a 1.8 with 2 aeros= 134.5 2 in a t-line = 135 1 in a .8 = 137 aero 2 in a kerf port 2.4= 135 From my testing I have found out .8 works best for me; with the 1500. I wouldn't have any reservations on trying 3500.

I've been testing away. 143.9 with the PAP. 2.5 cubes ported peaks @ 57 137.5 with one SA 8. .8 cubed ported peaks @ 55 I still have 3 more SA-8's but my best score is with the single sub go figure. I need to know where to spend my energy. Do I continue to work with the PAP? and try different boxes? Do I build 3 more identical boxes to the single box and stack them? I have tried 2 different configureations of pairs (one common chamber the other a t-line) these never posted any higher than 135 I also tried one common box with 3 8's @ .6 cu per ported to 47. This one SUCKED poor loading and poor score.

His was a show install... poor box and an enclosed amp with no cooling. The harder he pushed it the hotter it got.

look in my gallery for some of the box configurations. For sound quality the 2 8's in the tline is the best. Currently for burps the single sub configuration measuring 12x12x16 with a external 4" aero and 45's for bracing in the corrners

One guy pulled out of the lane when he couldn't break the number with 2 HCCA 12's and a HIFONICS BRUTUS BRZ2400.1D.

Well I have 4 sa-8's and have messed around with 5 different boxes with different configurations. I posted my best score today using MECA AS2 specs. I scored a 137.5 on a single 8" sub. This smoked several larger systems built by people who didn't know any better.
