i built this box for two polk momo m100's but polk was dicking me around and i never endeed putting them in there. tired of no bass i bought a buy one get one free kenwood sub from best buy and i spent about 110 for em. i have a pic of em but cant load it up for some reason. i beat out 2 other people in my class that had subs ment for spl. shit my car is more sq then any thing, i was shocked that i won.

more scores are
1st run 140.5
2nd run 140.8
3rd run 141.1
 
sweet man :thumbsup: I need some new subs. Running kicker comp's right now. I think I'm going to switch to the new Type Rs from Alpine
 
Was it an actual dB drag race? Because last season they didn't do power classes, only IASCA did. Either way not bad for two Kenwood 10's! What were the other people running?
 
good job, i used to do that back in the day, I won one, and got 2nd in two others, they give big trophys.

The classes listed above are the recommended standard classes for dB Drag Racing. Typically, all of these classes will be offered at multi-point events. However, if there are fewer than 8 entries in a given class, or if the event is a single-point event, the show promoter may, at his discretion, combine one or more classes in order to fully populate the elimination brackets. In any case, the number of classes offered, and their specific breakdown, is at the discretion of the show promoter.
 
Right now I've got two Rockford Fosgate Punch HX2 12's behind the seats of my Del Sol, with a Cadence Z7000 amplifier (1500 watts rms :eek: ). I'm waiting to see how well it does on the meter...
 
my friends and i entered in a local db drag at a car show like a month ago... we built the box the morning of the show :-D

anyhow, it only hit 143.7, but that's because we only had 1 500w pheonix gold running all 4, and running 2 different sizes of subs off the same amp didn't exactly work in our favor. anyhow, here's a pic of the fun.

:lol: That's a crazy set up! But yeah, my brother inlaw has like 4 kicker sl 15's with 4 bd1500's, in Alaska, he claims to have hit aroundd 15X. I am not sure if that is really loud, but yeah it is a show truck so the enclosures are that dandy for contest.
 
different size woofers is usually poor for SPL anyways
unless the boxes are tuned VERY carefully they will just cancel eachother out resulting in low SPL scores
they will have different Q levels, and different response times
 
My freind Tommy who competes, (1st place street 3-4 in 2001 world finals) was putting 9 12 inch rhinos into a suburban sunday, running 12,000 watts to them. Yaaaa thaaatttss niiiiccceeee.
