MrBigs63' Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I definitely second the weather is a bitch. The last one I went to was hot as hell and we didn't bring a cooler or anything. When, what time, and where is the comp man? I can make it to LR in about two and a half hours from school. I might come down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tacomaguy1 Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 1. Talk with the judges, they might let you di a sweep to find your peak. And give a spl comp for dummies briefing. 2. Charge your batteries overnight and check all wire connections, battery terminals. 3. Don't play it between testing or on the drive there to keep voltage up. 4. Weather can be a pain, bring a sweater food and drinks 5. A camera or phone with a camera to make vids for us. Wonder what I'd gain if I listed to #3 lol Demoing is too much fun to not play it before Team Flex Issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alaskanzx5 Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Imo at least don't play before and get a good 5-10mins car running not playing before your last metering. Gives the batteries time to charge up. (running ac to cool down the cabin on a hot day can sometimes gain a little in the meter) t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.

alaskanzx5 Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 It doesn't always work but I've seen it mentioned on here a few times as something that has helped. t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.

Charger Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 So it sounds like you're mainly after nice numbers. You've got some really nice gear, and if set up well you will score great numbers. If you're an outgoing person, perhaps approach people and explain to them that it's your first event, 99% of people at comps are cool and love to chat. The main thing to remember is to enjoy yourself and walk away happy. If you don't score well initially, don't sit there and slap hard on your system, or get caught up in the moment and try and turn it up too far just for the sake of numbers, risking frying something, smoking your subs, it just heats up your equipment and kills your voltage. If you don't get loud in your first 20 seconds or so, leave it, park up, think it over and if they let you try again have another go. Usually the more experienced guys can help you out if something goes wrong or you're not quite getting it, I usually try and help people at shows as much as possible. Some "general" SPL hints from me, with some of them already being covered by others above - Never demo or crank your system before your run, that means driving to the comp etc. - If you know your peak before the day, that is a big advantage because it saves trying to find it on the day, which can waste time and hinder your maximum score - Always disconnect your speaker amps either at the RCAs or even better at the REM - Wind the LOW PASS crossover for your sub amp all the way up so it doesn't attentuate anything - Turn off your SUBSONIC FILTER, or wind it all the way down so it doesn't attentuate anything - Always try and park in the shade at the show, keep the heat out of your car, cover your equipment with a sheet if the suns shining hard, keep your subs and amps cool - Folding your rear seats down is generally good for a few tenths in most cars - If you don't get the numbers you want, don't hurt any of your gear just for the sake of a few numbers, you'll be pissed off for weeks/months if you smoke something just for a few minutes of glory at an event. - Write shit down; all your numbers, what tracks you were playing, peak frequency, volume level on headunit etc. etc. This shit gets forgotten fast and you can reference it later Hope this helps Previous 150+ daily rides: Volvo 240 wagon 2 x DD Audio 9915s walled, Isuzu Trooper 6 x DD Audio 3515s walled clamshell, Lexus LX470 2 x Kicked Solo X 18s, Lexus LS400 4 x American Bass HD18 walled SMD - System of The Month August 2008 My Youtube Videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
