    i went to a USACi comp tonight, and placed second in the 600-1800 watt stock 1 class! my average was 142.1 but my loudest run was 146.7 (they take an average) i took my normal 2 30 second runs with my back seat in (doesnt fold down) and my cd player skipping like a mofo, so i tore my back seat out and ripped my deck out of my dash and then paid for another run, the guy above me beat me by 1.2 db running 4 10" kicker L7's in a burp box...

    so apperently the RE enclosure calculator isnt TOO bad (thats how i calculated my box)


    i wish i had pics and vids.... but i was only able to get one pic in before my stupid camera died, and that was just of all the trophies

    phuck....i think i burned up one of my subs..... it has a very slight rattle...i knew i shouldnt have juiced them as much as i did, oh well rebuild kits are only 80.00.

    im sure someone on here is hitting harder than me for sure....no way a n00b to the forum beat out everyone....

    oh yeah back seat down helps.as does no pass seat or it being reclined all the way back.;)
