Good luck man, I used to love those.....Oh how I miss my stereo

 

Good luck!!! Win one for the cobies!

 

Good luck man. What is your class and expected db goal?a

not bad... what all is includded in your system again? I can never remember...

 

T30001bd amp
RE MT 15


My daily system uses a XXX 15 because i dont like the sound of an MT

 

you happy with that?

 

Lol... Well think about it this way.... You did better than I could have....

 

not really.... but then again its a real simple thrown together build

 

must be nice to have sound comps this time of year

 

Not bad at all for what the system is. Seems like there could be another 2-3db there though with that setup... April 6th is my first in this car, so hoefully will have everything ready!

 

i want to see what i can put down but i need to dynomat my car.... with my two d3s and all... last time i did it.. i put down 133 db at the windshield

 

ya i honestly need to get the term lab up and running and see what i do from there.... i have yet to use it on this car and the only real difference between this time and the last time was the second skin i put on the car. im wondering if that hurt me a little bit or if it changed my freq

 

i always wanted to get a term lab for my own tuning and testing but they are 600+

 

Well thats a good number Emperor. We have no shows down here anymore. Im putting on my own later this year to get it back going and get other shops involved.
I just sold my Term lab for 350 lol. This was my second one i owned im going with a different one from makeitlouder.com
I did a 152.8 on my term lab with the other car.

 

was this your car or just one of the shop cars?

 

mine. we took 3 cars and i was the quietest... other cars were a cavalier with 2 sx 12s and 2 powerbass 2kw subs (147.4) and a hundayi elantra with a wall and 4 sx 15s poweres by a crossfire V4000d wired at 4 ohms.... amp kept on shutting off because of low voltage with 3 batteries (2 in the back) 153.#

 

Im unsure of this car doing anything really loud because of its flexing. But so far your in the mid to high 140's so thats good. The glass and my whole roof flex so bad more than my Saturn ever did.

 

ya they move quite a bit... and my dome light is now broken.... But i need to remove the headliner and put some second skin. I really wish they would have came out with the second skin "steel skin" they have been working on. but lux liner pro and motor mat pro came first

 

Well since you guys are experienced with this car in comps let me ask you this

I went to a few comps last year (I've been doing it for 5 years+) and I didnt have very favorable results, Only getting 137.something which the exact same setup in the cav was about 6db better. I know the car acoustics are different and I also dont have any soundproofing, still running off the stock head unit

I'm thinking maybe because im running off the stock headunit im not getting as good a signal into the amps as what I would running true RCAs off a aftermarket head unit

 

Emperor do you have any experience on the removal of the headliner? i hadnt gotten there yet but yes i got to do something up there even my sunroof motor or parts to it is moving and making all kinds of noise lol.

Rodimus, yes you may have a bit more power out of your amp if you have a little more voltage going in as your signal but you can still do this with out changing the hu out.
And from one car to the other yes expect to see a difference like you discovered thats normal like you said with the cars acoustics
