Any chance any of you guys here compete... or just have a stupid loud daily driver?
I compete in MECA: www.mecacaraudio.com . This will be my second year... last year took 6th place in both m2 and db2.
It got up to a 154.0 in m2, and a 126.6 was its peak in driveby (6 feet from the car, 4.5 feet up in an open space). The trunk install is undergoing a boatload of testing, the *current* box is doing a 145.0 at 35hz with one 15, the loudest box so far farted out a 148.9 @ 58hz - if I can get this 145 @ 35hz to peak up high (hard to do, due to the unusual design - see pics) this one 15 will be in the 50's.
Last year competed in my 99 monte carlo daily driver, this year (if I can get a few favorable rulings) I'll probably be competing in my 77 k5.

wall in the MC, this is just one of many
another
half wall - the plan was a loud daily driver... that went down the tubes quick when i caught the comp bug!
Current trunk, just took one battery out and moved things around a bit - there is no front battery.
the way it was
wow, the trunk actually closes!?!?!
One of the boxes, with the 2 15's and 2 700 watt amps, it did a 149.5... with one 15 in a smaller box (pic'd below) it did a 148.9 with 700 watts. Now I have one 15 in this box doing a 145 @ 35hz - assuming I can get the note higher and effeciantly make use of everything... it should be in the 50's with just the one 15 and approx 1000 watts, as soon as I get my 16 volt alt
another of the boxes, outside of the car
And.... the car's exterior, next to the k5.
I hope to compete in the same class (s1) in the k5, it will be 100x easier to work on.. and overall a heck of alot cooler - not to mention its about 4x the cargo space I have now + the hatchback advantage, which makes up for the big cabin size gain (more cabin of course = harder to get loud).

THey are some sweet amps, as is all mmats stuff.
Took the setup out when I started to lose hearing.

WTF! What size is that thing? Is it real?
