-
Im all set ready to go droppin no lower than 13.4 at idle with my kinetik 1400 at full tilt. Cant wait im so pumped!
be there at noon...not competing..no system..just spectating...
-
so what is it exactly when you burp your subs? my car peaks at 50hz
a burp is just playing a test tone for a few seconds...
i usually turn off all my highs
open up all the filters on the amp (not the gain)
do a sweep at moderate volume to find ur peak note
then roll into a burp at that note...
-
I wish this was in Bowling Green... I could make it... I am gonna try to throw together a non sanctioned show here in Lafayette for the locals... not sure when though...
well...i think he is planning a couple of more..
like another at the same location and possible another in louisville...and i think they are all 2x events..not positive though..
if not this year...come on out next year and get ya some points!

no neither one of them have ever competed. one is running powerbass 15's (m series)on like a powebass xa 5200 or somethin small and a optima red top. and the other has 2 12" powerbass (m series) on a rockford fosgate 451s with a kinetik 1400

{(Total Amperage of In-line Fusing X 10) + Woofer Cone Surface Area} = Pressure Class #
Please consult Division Rules for complete definitions.
Examples:
30 amps + 2-12 = 526 40 amps + 1-12 = 513 30 amps + 1-15 = 477 50 amps + 1-18 = 754
50 amps + 1-12^2 = 644 50 amps + 2-12 = 726 100 amps + 1-15 = 1177 100 amps + 2-18 = 1509
50 amps + 2-10^2 = 700 100 amps + 2-12 = 1226 200 amps + 2-15 = 2353 200 amps + 2-18 = 2509
50 amps + 3-10 = 736 200 amps + 2-12 = 2226 400 amps + 4-15 = 4707 400 amps + 4-18 = 5018

for real...that was funny as hell, had me super worried in the beginning though
-
yea one will be using 2 15's and he has like a 100 amp inline fuse and then an 8 0 amp fuse before the back battery. and the other will have 2 12's and an 8 0 amp inline fuse and an 8 0 amp fuse before the back batt and another 8 0 amp fuse before the amp. Do you know what they would be in?
probably in like s3 in which they would get dominated if there are any true s3 cars there, cause an s3 car should be in the 150s+
or if they havent ever competed they could run amature class...and probably be in as3 (car off, on music, suppose to be no cussing in music)
-
do you know what classes my friends would be in if i told them what subs and amps they were running?
depends on cone area and amount of fusing...i would recommend reading up on the rules over at mecacaraudio.com
-
if your not already in MECA does it cost to sign up with them to?
i feel dumb for not knowing for sure as i was a member for 3 years, but i wanna say yes
i cant remember the exact amount it cost to get a meca membership...but if only plan on doing a couple of shows this year then i wouldnt bother as finals are in october..i would just wait til next year to get the membership..
-
yo im comin and i can get prolly 2-3 more people to come with me
c'mon down bro...like i said, im not sure what kind of turn out its gonna be how or how organized its gonna be as its his first show as host
oh yea..$25 entry fee..and i will update the first post with the actual flyer...thanks!
-
An old friend of mine (Bud Ballinger) is hosting his first show...and we are trying to get as many people to come out and try and bring the audio scene back to Louisville!! So please come if you can.
I heard the parking lot is kind of small, so i am not sure how it will go down. He said if the turnout is big enough he might have people pull into the shop to do their run then park back outside. Not sure on what kinda awards/trophies they are gonna be giving out, but would assume it will be like any other MECA event.
Aug. 7
10am-5pm
Mountain City Audio
104 N Bardstown Rd
Mt Washington, KY 40047
$25 entry fee for spl...think its another $25 for drive-by spl (might be off on that one though)
flyer: http://www.mecacaraudio.com/flyers/8-07-10KY.pdf
Mount Washington is actually just bit south of Louisville actually (about 20-30minutes south)
Come on out fellas!
also another show there on aug. 28th!
-
every kid out there (myself included) wants "to do it big"...i mean who doesnt
you need to compete and do decent
you need to know what u are doing so u dont ruin equipment left and right
and like hank said....a full sponsorship doesnt really exist anymore (extremely rare)...basically its just discounted prices on things..but u still gotta pay to play
-
sub2weeker...please go
this is not a burp machine...had he built it to do number then i have no doubt it would be well into the 60's
however...hank builds systems to play music loud for extended periods of time...not a 4 second burp
so again...with all do respect..and i do mean with all do respect...STFU!!
-
When is MECA finals I may have to bring my car down for all the fun
think its sometime in october in nashville...
-
I plan on it
thats what i wanted to hear....hope to hear this beast then! sick work man!
-
you gonna come down to meca finals again hank?
-
Thanks lol. But yeah I really want to get my hands on some of these.
you aware brah?

anyways...interesting specs to say the least...
-
saw u on broadway today in lexington, ky...bumping pretty nice..
so if u post here...reveal yourself!
-
i try and keep under a 9:1 ratio....so scrap the 30"x1" port
something bigger than a 9:1 ratio may have port noise...
-
good deal...good luck man...i know its a big headache.
-
im the same...i would prefer 34hz...so cut a couple of inches off the port...and loose the brace...
-
im afraid thats the name of the game...china imports and exports were the biggest pain in the ass to work on!!! i have a feeling they are going to want to start charging you like warehouse fees or something similar for them sitting in customs so long.
if you go thru ups send me the shipment number and i will email it to the girl i know in the international department and see if she can do anything more....not sure since you already have a contact taking care of it...but ya never know..
