why in the world wouldnt you run fuses while competing? doesnt do you much good if your car starts on fire.

First off what do you mean by the fact your amp was "midified"

second pulling fuses out is only worth .2-.3 db in a very vry high current setup 200+ amps of actual draw

You meantioned nothing about the tuning frequency your box is at....I know you gave box size and port length but Im being lazy. I would reccomend tuning yor box to 42-47hz and try running a sweeep (track 19 on all sanctioned cd's) and see where your loudest score was (what frequency) and use that

charging system is everything! You cannot make power without providing the amps with power. I would highly look into upgrading the big 3 if you havnt yet, and get that high output alt that you need!

Ok i Get it I must use a fuse! what amp size fuse.

jeffchilcott its about 45hz, / changing out to a bigger internal fuse is what i call modified / so its not true that you can make it with a stock alt. and a powerful battery /

other things that were suggested to me was :

Use the front or rear signal outputs of the Headunit to your amp because the signal is cleaner

Open up your amp to 200hz , so the amp will play with more power, less resistance and catch the best frequency.

I normally open my amps to 200hz but havent done alot of testing otherwise....made a few whoops moments and had it set at 50 hz on accident and it brought our scores down a few tenths

The output of the head unit shouldnt make any diffrence

You can use the stock alt to drive to the show.. Like I do..But I have 4 batteries in one car, and 6 in the other...we use very large high amp chargers o get our batteries to a full charge before going into the lane..

Find a good "Mic Monkey" somone who can hold the mic on the passenger side floorboard and get themselves scrunched up aginst the dash to build a "pocket" where the mic is on the floorboard. Leave your drivers door all the way open during the run
