Posted September 19, 200717 yr which finals location(s) does incriminator plan to attend? is there any extra support or tips for competitors using IA equipment? I am attending Indy finals, running SS1-2NW with 2 DD 9515s and a single 40.1 so i am going to get killed in my class since i will have much less equipment than everyone else in the class. looking for all the help i can get
September 19, 200717 yr Author car is a 96 toyota corolla with a half wall, currently i am running 2 batteries, 1 small interstate under the hood, and a odyssey/stinger 1700 in the trunk, stock 90 amp alt. will probably be adding a couple of optima batteries for finals along with a big 3 upgrade. have tried to burp and/or roll the amp at .25 ohms and it went into protect which doesn't surprise me considering i don't have the electrical to back it up and its quite a low load, so i guess i am stuck leaving it at 1 ohm. this car has been a challenge to make loud compared to my previous cars, i am planning a rebuild of the box in the next few weeks also. its currently only in the mid 140's which is nothing in no wall.
September 19, 200717 yr You are really choking that 40.1 out with only 1 extra battery. The extra optimas are definitely a good start. If you are only going to run 1 amp, I would suggest at least 2 extra Group 31 Yellow Tops. 40.1's usually dont like anything below .5 ohm, so thats why you are going into protect. What subs are you running? You need to get up in the mid 50's to be somewhat competitive at the regional level. Nothing 4 40.1's and 8-12 batteries won't fix
September 20, 200717 yr Author yea i know i'm highly under equipped for regionals, but unless someone hands me more equipment then thats not going to change. i'm a poor bastid so i do what i can. my subs are Digital Design 9515e's dual 1 ohm coils. my biggest problem is the vehicle, its very small and i haven't been able to make it spl happy with 3 installs, going on the 4th box now. previous vehicle did a higher score with 1 sub and half the power but i don't blame it on the equipment. been very happy with the amp Edited September 20, 200717 yr by Sir_Stickybuds
September 20, 200717 yr One other thing you could do as well is have those 9515's reconed into some 9518's Have them reconed into dual .7's so you get a final load of .7 ohm. There are several other things you could do, as we could go on and on and on....lol
September 20, 200717 yr Come on now, guys! Am I going to be in Indianapolis all by myself? *laughs* Someone will be there with my stuff so I'm likely going there
