Does the rule of octaves apply for spl?

im getting competitive in meca and im contemplating some things

my peak at the headrest is 42

am I correct in thinking the next octave up (84 hz) would be a larger (amplitude) wave and possibly a better score?

and yes I know testing is the best way to know but my meter has moved to California for 2 months... so yeah

Not sure about MECA but most organizations limit the peak freq you can play to 80 hz.

Also....why would you want to play 84 hz lol. Thats not even bass at that point!!

You act like he is doing it for daily listening. He is just burping...

I have no idea about this, but I am interested in knowing also.

it seems to make sense in my head at least

the wave length of 84 hz is something like twelve feet so id be hitting right around the half wave instead of the quarter with 42

Does MECA have a FO max for the show results like DB Drags? You could look at the results and see what frequencies other people are winning with. That might help?

I honestly think its only going to be louder up there in a vehicle that resembles an extreme vehicle.

Headrest does not like anything above 50hz in 99% of the cars I have seen done or judge I would put money thatyour score willl decrease

thats another thing i was considering

i really wonder if the wavelength is to the windshield and then back...

from the hatch to the headrest is 8.5 ft which gives me a half wave of 66 hz

going to the dash and back gives me a half wave of 47 hz

hmmm
