Hey all,

Just did my first DB drag today! I got a 138.4 on two Alpine 10's. Heres the kicker: My main fuse blew before I could even crank it! :angry: I just got a new amplifier and forgot that I needed to replace the main fuse in my lead with a larger capacity fuse. I got a whopping two seconds of sound!!! I have never entered these things before and was wondering how other people do. This was not a sanctioned event so no classes. I was competing against rich kids in Escalades with 5 fifteens that mommy and daddy bought for little Jonny(Denver is FULL of these little brats!) I didn't win, but I had a lot of fun!!!

What are ya'll getting with your systems???

 

138 out of 2 10's on your 1st time is pretty good, definitly a good starting point. my first run was about 8 years ago with two jl 8's, hit a 139. it only gets better from here, id recommend to start researching, u can learn alot by just reading stuff online, believe me.

 

139 with two 8's??? Wow! What kind of box/amp were you using? Were they W6's?

 

139 8 years ago with 2 8" is damn good. 138 with 2 10's for a first time is damn good. Ive never tested mine ever but have been told (in older systems)that it should hit around 130's with 2 10's. Was never in it to compete either. But way to go. I know its rough with all the little rich brats. we have alot around these parts too! Spoiled little bastards! Enjoy the comps man.

 

Ive been curious about sound competitions..

My car currently has 12" solobarics, 4 6x9s, 2 6"s, and 4 tweeters...
All powered by 3 amps

Im curious as to what i would put down


What did the guy with 3 15s get?

 

He was hitting around 152 I believe. All depends on your set up. Most of the people I was competing against had ported enclosures. I have sealed. Also, almost everyone there had HUGE boxes. Mine are pretty small. I did have a good time. I might do this again in the future. All I know is my system is loud enough to break ear drums and my trunk is still functional.

Yeah, its nice to have more cargo space than a rich kid with an ESCALADE!!! lol.gif

 

they were w0's both wer 8 ohm's also, instead of the typical 4 ohm set up. had them bridged down to a 4 ohm loud, on a old school kenwood ps400. and if u know amps, then u know the history of those amps from the late 80's-early 90's
