My GZ/RLP box
Looks fine. I do not like side firing boxes like that, in my opinion they sound like ass, its just vibrates the side of the car and doesn't sound pleasant.

I'm not fimiliar with the sx amps, I know they have more adjustability. You could always call Kicker, they are very helpfull with these type of user questions.

high numbers in a trunk?
There would be way to many ties if it weren't for measuring in tenths. Look at every world finals in every organization for the past eight years, there would simply be not show without it that type of measuring. All of the top eight are usually within a db.

high numbers in a trunk?
Lol, i always get a kick out of these comments. If you want the most legal, meter at the headrest. Afterall, that's what YOU hear when you play your stereo. I don't see too many people sticking their head in the kick or on the windshield and saying "damn, thats loud" That and the repeatability and consistency of the measurement mics they use is a joke as well. It should never be XXX.x db's. Ask any acoustician and they will tell you measuring tenths of a db is not real. The environment can change that quickly, and they use $2k mics with $2k+ power supplies not even counting the analyzer. IMO if it isn't a Bruel & Kjaer or a real competitors measuring device it is weighted strange. That and they don't use C weighting on measuring their response curves. Anything over 120dB should be measured with C weighting and I do like the headrest idea. I actually know nothing about competitions as I have never witnessed one or been to one, but in my previous job all I did was measure acoustics with a $100k analyzer--which I still have regular access to Termlab pressure sensors may not be NASA certified, but they are a feasible tool to use in the field. Think logically about using a $2k mic in the field and how they are abused, a termlab is by far suitable, accurate, and affordable for the purpose its being used for.

I don't see too many people sticking their head in the kick or on the windshield and saying "damn, thats loud" Again, the headrest has too much variation. To each their own on a "reality" score. The reason for the dash placement is to equal the playing field, its not intended where you hear the music, it

Biggest Event Of 2005
I think SBN is the biggest event in car audio. Any company who is anyone is there. There are over a hundred or two competitor vehicles. Three sound organization events going at once, and to top it off, its spring break. Its an amazing event. edit: db drag had 68 cars there in 2005 Iasca had 78 entries

- Planning On Small Time, but serious, Compeating.
IASCA show in Tallahassee next weekend I setup. Please keep checking FloridaSPL.com for all southeastern events. Compete however you want, goes to shows, have fun.- VFL 400.1
I can get you a SoundStream 6500 for $500- VFL 400.1
If you have the money, the XX's are decent amps. I switched because I wanted a bigger amp. I only had the 200.1 for about two weeks, I didn't like it at all, and it was stupid expensive at the time. - Planning On Small Time, but serious, Compeating.
