andym85 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Also, What's the difference between db Drag and Bass Race? I seem to get them both confused with each other. Bass Race you play music for 30 seconds for an average db rating, right? db Drag you play music to get your peak frequency db? yea, bassrace is your average score over 30seconds on music dbdrag is usually a couple second burp using test tones (no music 99%of the time i would say) to achieve your highest possible spl bca1.com is an awesome site as well as http://www.the12volt.com Quote i likes me some audio stuff...

BigPimpin91 Posted January 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Thanks amatt85. I think we need to have one of these computer Wizz' make a program to determine what Competing Class you would be in. I'm pretty sure it would be simple to do. Something with logic. I'm learning about AND, NAND, OR, NOR and Flip-Flop components in Electronics right now. Quote BigPimpin91's Banging Music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym85 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 it wouldnt be hard to do...i mean for bassrace u basically just pick a class you can compete it... 120-129.9 130-139.9 140-149.9 150-159.9 im not 100% sure on the rules for dbdrag, but im pretty clear on the rules for meca, since that is the org i will be competing in. you can do IF/THEN/ELSE, and AND statements in excel also Quote i likes me some audio stuff...

How do you know what class you're in? I've never been in a bass race comp before Quote DC Audio - Singer Alternators - Knukonceptz - XS Power - Hybrid Audio - Rockford Fosgate - Second Skin Audio - SMD - Sundown Audio - Elemental Designs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloak559 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Hmm. How do you know what class you're in? I've never been in a bass race comp before Usually you get a test run or two before the actual competition...

andym85 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 yea, basically bassrace is all about timing, control, and really knowing your system....b/c if you are for instance in the 130-139.9 class and you hit a 140 then u are automatically disqualified....if you can burp in the 140s then u should be able to bassrace the 130-139.9 class...

BigPimpin91 Posted January 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) I meant for more than just bass race and db Drag. I meant for just SPL Burp classes. The first ever Comp I went to with my buddy we didn't have a choice of classes. We just Filled out the form. How Many subs, power, ohm load, wall no/wall kinda deal. Then did a burp. In a 1994 Explorer. Stock electrical with a capacitor (before we knew any better) 2 TXX-15Rd an a Lanzar Vibe "4000" Watt Amplifier Pre-Fab box. 138.5 In the kick sealed. 139.4 Dash window open. Pretty sad really. I hope to at least hit a 140 the first time I go. Yes with just one 12" High Hopes, I know but where there is will there is a way.

andym85 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 but there are like four or five major organizations and they all have different rules, so... Quote i likes me some audio stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigPimpin91 Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) Another qucikie. (LoL Quickie.) Should I ground the amp to the chassis through a proper, prepped ground or a run of 1/0 Wire?

andym85 Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 i would think the best would be to ground to the chassis if u can...i always do a run from the ground of the battery to the amp, thats a personal preferance though...
