Captain Stupid Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 I'm planning to attend my first competition as an entry. Just wondering if the more experienced fellas out there can help guide a newbie a little. It is the 3x IASCA event in Marysville, WA on Oct 6/7th. I've never competed before and the last comp I went to as a spectator was at least 15 years ago. I'd just like to know where I might fit in with my basic system and what I can expect. I have a 2006 Escalade with everything stock except one amp, two subs and a box. I will have an extra battery and a high output alternator by the event. The amp is a RF T2500-1bdCP, the subs are two RE SX 18s and the box is behind the rear seats. Is it correct that with Bass Boxing I would need some exterior speakers? So I wouldn't qualify for that, right? So, what class or classes would I fit in and where is the competition db-wise in that class? Thanks! 2006 Cadillac Escalade 2/3 drop on 28" wheels Two RE SX 18" subs RF T2500-1bdCP amp, 3531watts on birthsheet Custom carbon fiber sub box EVERYTHING else is stock, for now 149.4 @ 37hz, Termlab, dash, open window on two AQ3 18s all stock electrical, wired to .25 ohm on a RF T2500 148.8 @ 36hz, Termlab, dash, open window on one AQ3 18 all stock electrical, wired to .5 ohm on a RF T2500 147.8 @ 38hz, Termlab, legal, sealed on two RE SX 18s 146.4 @ 36hz, Termlab, legal, sealed on one RE SX 18 Link to my hack-built, stupid, carbon fiber wasting project.... http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/149946-carbon-fiber-box-update-1494db-37hz-on-tl/ http://gifsoup.com/NDM3MTc1MQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPINE408 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 For bassboxing at a 3x you need extieriorr speakers I don't have the class break down in front of me but depending on the class you are in (that is detrimed by sub cone area) tells you how much amp power and how many exterior speakers you need Iff you don't have the exterior speakers and the right size amp for em you can't bassbox Have you ever had your woofers blown?
