06_sierra Posted July 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 no its the source level adjustment on my pioneer deck. I had it at 3 during the comp. today i set it to 4 then re tuned with my dd-1 and my max volume decreased to 33 out of 40 instead of it being 34 out of 40. just curious about this.

jessdabest77 Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 ok,first of,the class you're in,is hard.guy's hit over 150db's in that class.addictive audio,i think is one of your problem's.they're not compition sub's.if you're box is built right,i would change up those sub's.you can be louder,but it'll cost you.i couldn't make that show,but i'll try to make the fresno and maybe san jose one.i would be more than glad to help you out if i can,if you decide to continue this,and make more show's.

AA98hoe Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 There's a lot of tricks to get louder... I assume you were at corcoran show... were did you put mike? Driver seat passenger door open works best for me.. upgrade the 925 to a bigger batt.... 3100 would be best..what's your voltage drop to now?...ill help you out at shows...I've seen addictive get loud so stick with that for now... I'm curious on what your box looks like and who built it...

06_sierra Posted July 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Yea it was in Corcoran. They put the mike on the passenger side and I was loudest with my door open. My box was made my by auto sounds of Bakersfield, from what I recall the box was designed by Brian from addictive audio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessdabest77 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 I have 2 15's in my truck,no wall,or cut-through,same amp,and I do 149 db's on music.A lot has to do with your box.But just from experience,some sub's don't get as loud as other's for the same price range.

kr15 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 addictive audio,i think is one of your problem's.they're not compition sub's I have 2 15's in my truck,no wall,or cut-through,same amp,and I do 149 db's on music.A lot has to do with your box.But just from experience,some sub's don't get as loud as other's for the same price range. i find this contradictory, considering the subs he is running are essentially identical to your hdc's. OP, stick with the addictives. Im not an addictive fan, but they can get loud and will handle your amp all day without breaking a sweat. Im almost certain you can burp on 60a, and techically you would be allowed up to 75a in m2. For your first time out, thats a respectable # at a low frequency Quote Team Flex Issues Low tuning > God 2011 CALI AS1 STATE CHAMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessdabest77 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Well,I guess,how loud does he want to get is the question.I just think,if you do wall's,cut-through's,and all the big boy stuff,it's obvious you're shooting for big number's.
