First Meca Show

[06_sierra]

So yesterday I finally entered into a meca competition. I'm running 2 addictive audio 12's on a Audioque 2200 in a blowthrough enclosure. I have a 300 amp alternator from dc power and a xs power d925 for my electrical. Got a 144.3 on the termlab with a 34 hz tone. I really liked the experience and hope to enter into some more comps and hopefully get a little louder. Does anyone have some tips that i can use? any input would be appreciated.

Do you have access to a TL?

[06_sierra]

what class were you in?

Since i had a 150 amp fuse they put me in Modified 3. One of the judges told me that if i can get a 60 amp fuse that would lower me to modified 2.

Word of advice push every rule to the limit. Also if you ask a question on email save it. I had some trouble with rules for my class last year. They told me I couldn't run something then I got to finals and they allowed others to use/do it.

thats what i was going to reccomend i run a 30a fuse and do a 143 at 28hz in mod1

What's the lowest size fuse you think I can get away with? Will a smaller fuse result in me getting a lower score?

not really its just hard not to blow it start testing with a 60a fuse see how much you can turn up the volume before it blows... slowly turn it up..slowly!!!!

Cool man I already ordered some 60 amp fuses so i can play around with them. Now I tune with a dd-1 and today I notice the higher I put the sla the lower my max volume is? Do you use the sla?
