I started Db Comp. last summer and well.. and I'm actually doing pretty good to tell you the truth.
There are two competitions i compete in. "Db Wars" and "Arkansas Blast"
Db Wars - Catagorized by number of Subs. 1,2,3,4,and Extreme.
-Pressure tests off Windshield
Arkansas Blast - Catagorized by Retail value of Amp.
-Pressure tests under the Dash
In 2007 I got 2nd Place in Db Wars (2 sub catagory) at 134.4Db (first place was about 135.6) and in Arkansas Blast i got 3rd Place ($250-500 catagory) at 148.6 (first place was 148.9)
So for 2008 I've made a lot of changes.... So far i have tested 137.4 in Db Wars and I am currently in 1st place. (Arkansas Blast hasn't stared yet this year)
So here's the setup...
Head unit - Valor flip-out screen
EQ - Clarion 7-band
Components- Cadence
Subs - Cadence Beast 1500watts max 2ohm svc (each)
Amp - Cadence Z7000. 3000watts max 1ohm stable
Capacitors- 17.4 Farad
I just changed the Subs out.. I now have
Memphis Audio M3's - 500Watts RMS (underated) 4ohm dvc's
I have not tested with the new subs yet.. The Beast hit 137.4 on a non-distortion test.. We expect the Memphis Audios to hit over 140!! I honestly expect to take 1st in both competitions this year.
Fairly good numbers. Guarentee if you put a good battery, do the BIG 3, and take out the capacitator you'll hit even harder though. That's the only change I would personally make. Good work so far though, impressive.
