    Ok so I just bought a zx1500.1, twice the power as my old 750.1 lol this thing is a powerhouse and is more than enough power for the 15" cvx im running. Anyways my voltage drops big time and the amp is only on half gain and no bass boost!! and im only running 4gauge to it with a stock die hard batt and 70A alt. :( So im wondering which steps i should take to get more out of this amp.. and which should i get first, a ho alt. or a good battery?

  12. Few questions about my acura

    in Engine and Performance - Anything for that couple extra horses!

    Alright.. I own a 1990 Acura integra with a b18a1 motor.. i think thats correct, its a dohc but its the non-vtec ls motor. Its been a real reliable car with the exception of battery/alt. problems which are on me. Anyways this car idels weird sometimes when its in drive and at a stop, kind of a rought idel but not to rough. idk if it has to do with the muffler thats on it or not b/c i put it on right after i got the car so i dnt really knw wat it was like.. and wen the car is warmed up and i go to start it up, it will rev high at first,(which i think is normal) but then it goes to a low-low rpm like its gunna die and then to the normal idel.. but y im so worried about it is bc at the gas station the other day it did that but it actully died for the first time! and i had to start it back up.. and my second q is when i go press on the gas to go from a stop, sometimes it acts slugish and dosent take off like it normally should, idk if its dirty injectors or what but it happens rarely. any opinions or advice would be really helpfull. thanks

    I only ask what spl comp. because each organization has different rules in which you need to stay in as far as classes. if you went up against a guy with 3 12's it sounds like db drag but, with only six cars it is hard to say. Either way bro definitely try some different things.

    it was notin serious, it was jus a small get together n there will b more. they did go by classes, like single, dual, three, and unlimited. but ther was not enough ppl. n no real prize but we did get certificates with our spl listed on it.

    great minds think alike huh kimo?

    lol

    I dunno my crx can slam pretty low 150.5 for 42 hz on termlab. So u can have a musical system.

    However if your just looking to win spl shows higher tuning is a must.

    Most competitors are tuning in the 58-64 hz which sucks for daily driving. Did u burp for that number or off music?

    Thats where the Termlab system comes in. With one and a new box u can possibly achieve the 3 db u want.

    For what u got though not bad.

    it was a bass mechanic cd n they told me what freq. to turn it to until it got the loudest. And yes it was jus one tone like a burp.

    n btw i hav an acura with a trunk not a hatch. so its even harder to get loud.. thas y they kina jizzed ther panties at the comp. cuz they thought it was good for what it was.

    First and foremost man congratulations on your first competition. Your score is very decent and respectful for your first time out and not pushing over 1000watts actual power. Now for your attempt of gaining 3db is not impossible but, may take a lot of testing and trial and error before it will actually come about without adding more power. However, adding power by batteries or by amplifiers will easily get you your 3db gain. Now for design for your acura you could probably try the CRX style box to gain the db's but, your going to lose sound quality. Meaning you'll have a burp only box and not a daily driver.

    What spl competition did you compete in?

    ***this thread probably should be in competition corner to get more ideas***

    it was held at advanced elecronics n iola kansas (radioshack), n only like six ppl. i did jus as good as a guy with 3 12's who got a 141.5 so he got me by .5 n im only running one sub. and they used a termlab so its the real deal.

    Spl is tough to test and gain without a meter, I think for what you have your number is pretty respectful.

    It's a hit and miss game. for 3 db you should try a new box. I think slot port forward or aeros back.

    Wires biggest amps u can afford and good subs all help to some extent.

    Good Luck with that.

    thanks, ya im gunna fix all my wiring problems n c where that gets me, n then ultamatly build a new box.

    alright so i went to my first spl competetion yesterday and did two runs. with my 15" cvx(1000rms) i did a 140.9 on my first run and 141dB on the second.. anyways ther will be more competition and i just think that cvx has a lil more potential.. i want to c a 3db gain at least so what can i do?? im running a zx750.1, 750rms@ 2ohms which thats wat its at. and stock alt with no big 3. and my box is sub up port up.. i was thinking it wuld be louder with sub up port back. i would do sub back port back but the sub has to b facing up n my truck cuz thers no room.. tell me what you guys think.
