Help for a rookie


Recommended Posts

hey guys. im new around SMD, but have been trolling around other forums for some time now. ive made the dive into competing in my local NSPL events and im hooked. right now the setup consists of two american bass xfl 12's wired to .5 on an old solid audio f2500d. the box is currently around 4 cubes net, with three 4" aeros tuned to 35ish. current scores are 145.2 sealed and 146.5 hardcore(both drivers side doors open) all on around 1500 clamped watts. i want to stay under the 1800 mark for clamped power to remain in my class yet try to get as loud as possible through efficiency etc. to me, what i want to try is either add two more aero's for competing(would be plugged for daily) to raise tuning, add port area, and help with rise, or work on adding a removable rectangle port with gobs of port area for competing. im looking for any insight into port options and other little box tips that may help me. thanks and im glad to be here!

Check out fecupe's tips & tricks thread or whatever its called. Lots to learn in there.

thanks for the reply. i had read through that a while back and learned a few things. i dont have access to a TL other than shows though, so a lot of the little details i just cant test right now. more or less right now im curious to see if you all would think it to be more beneficial to run 5 aero's when i compete or stick with a conventional rectangle removable port with alot of area? the aero's and rectangle port would be tuned around peak (aero's slightly above it) and i have access to build both options
