And I'm like...105 db and I think I'm the King!
Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Well a recent comp that I went to was at Jonesboro Arkansas.......for anyone that knows where that is. Anyways, I really liked all of the equipment that I saw and it was really interesting. Anywho....there were no 160's......I think 154.3 was the highest......that was with 2 15's and two amps....lots of batteries....16V wiring.....it was crazy, he beat out everyone in the Pro class (with like ten 10's or other crazy stuff like that. I just thought at the time that 144 wasnt good enough......I know my ears cant take much more than that haha it feels like a bomb is going off. But I would like to get 150 eventually

I'm not really sure.....The audiostore (Audio Expess) sponsored it and there were not any offical judges I soppose. A friend told me the went by USACI rules but I'm not really sure. I had 30 seconds with the mic placed near the windshield....all windows had to be up and your dB score was posted on a LED sign. Pretty much.....about 40 people lined the vehicals up......drove through the judging lane and after the mic was placed the were tested and placed in a division. I was in the Two Woofer division and dominated everyone for some reason.

well sounds more along the lines of DB drag rules to me, but if it is not a sactioned event, then I really dont know what the rules would be.        I just dont think a wall in that car would be much louder on a meter then something in the trunk/trunk enclosed would be

Hey this may have something to do with why I am not hitting harder.......I have no wall in my box.....two 15's.......lots of airspace......one port that is of correct lenght.
