Posted June 11, 200718 yr Well, I went to a dbdrag today and competed in Bassrace. It was so damn hot outside! It was closing in on 120 degrees! Noone was metering... Just about everyone was down 2.5-3.5dbs. I was such a dumbass I played my subs when I got there and ended up having to go meter with drained batteries and my subs were pretty warm after demoing for like 30 minutes. My score sucked balls, only a 151.5 in bassrace. Oh well, it will be better when the conditions are better, and it might help a LITTLE when I know where my car peaks, and Im not playing some random song. Should also be louder when I play with my amps. My gains arent even 1/8 of the way up, the SSF is set to about 40-45hz (my box is tuned @ 35hz), and basically everything is just set so I wont blow any subs.Anyways, heres some videos and stuff from the competition.Unfortunately I didnt snap a pic when it was at 118!The 151.5 got my 2nd anyway... Not bad considering first place was Jethro Eason, who has 24 12" RE SEs, and 20,000rms of 02 amps.Aftermah. Complete destruction. Edited June 11, 200718 yr by galacticmonkey

June 14, 200718 yr Author Hey Shawn, whenever I have some spare time, I might drive up to Gville for the day. You can help me find out why the BTLs have a little bit of a hard time with the power.And maybe I can use the TL too?
