On Saturday i went to my first stereo competition. It was mainly db drag racing... I hit 142.8db's with my kicker L7..I think it helped a lot ripping out my backseat. My buddy ended up winning the whole thing, hitting 148.8 with 2 12inch solo barics.

At the end they had port wars. And some kid hit 171.0 db's Ouch!

What kind of #'s have you guys seen at competitions?

 

[bump

 

so, what exactly are db drag racing and port wars. i've never been to a competition, since i've never had a sdub in any of my cars (god i wish i had money!)....

 

Well db drag racing just measures how loud it is in the car with this eight inch round meter. Usually its the loudest in the passenger kick panel..
Port wars uses a smaller mic that can be placed in the port of a box or anywhere else in order to achieve the loudest db's possible..

that the best I can explain it..

 

I expect to hit 150-160... I'll post it...

 

i had a friend who hit 156 with 3jl w6'S i sat in that beast once and it was pretty good.
