how to get 160 dbs in under two weeks


Recommended Posts

my guess is everyone has seen the 160 score from the little yellow car

here's the buildlog as it went - I am translating and posting what Drugban posted on the Russian forums

Subwoofer - Sundown Audio Nightshade v2 18" d1

amps - two Sundown Audio NS-1 bridged to 0.5ohms

bats - XS Power D3100, D2700 and D6500 + two 4v FIAMM cells

Shok Industries competition wire!

This is as with most of our builds was a team effort - with the work being done by Igor (drugban), Andrey (the owner of the Mitsubishi SUV with the 15 sa10's) and Sergei. transporting the car to the event could not have been done without the help of another prominent Team Sundown Russia member - the owner of the white Mazda 3MPS that has a buildlog elsewhere in this section

A little background to this - the guys bough the little yellow car early in July as a test rig to try out different equipment combos and maybe build it to be loud (small car that peaks high, is cheap and readily available)... they were at an IASCA comp - where they were challenged by a well know competitor in the advanced NW class to bring their A-game to the national Finals at he end of July (this past weekend) - which left them a little over 3 weeks to get the car togehter

when they got back they started with an old, well used z18v2 and two SAZ3500's on 12v mounted in the SUV

First ry at the single 18 box

Sub is running out of usable throw - being used and subjected to over 100 burps at full power

the result - less than a week to go we are not loud enough

and here come the NS-1s!!! many thanks to Jacob for getting these out so promptly to us

tearing everything down, and building a new box from scratch
