IH8PunkRok Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 so last night i tried to prove David wrong and lost. lol it sucked so in order to prevent myself looking like an ass again (and others possibly) i want this thread to be dedicated to the correct info about db's. such as the power increase to db increase ratio. wut is considereed twice as loud (and why i was taught wrong for so long) basically this is a thread for the true competitors to let us young guys learn from your experience. anything u think a young competitor should know drop it here. my pen and paper is ready. so pleez teach me Quote -Matt2005 Dodge Magnum RTJVC KD-AVX1 2 PPI S580.2 Obsidian Audio ST1 Horn Tweeters PRV 8MB450s Audio Legion 3500.1D 2 RE MT 18s 360 ah LiFePO4 BatterySHCA 2/0 155.2 @ 29 hzKicker CVR 15's buildDD 3512e buildMini T-Line Build(6) 8s BuildNightshade 15s Wall BuildMagnum AB XFL 12s BuildNewest Magnum Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISO Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Man the biggest thing I have learned about DB Drag vehicles is trial and error. There is some science to it but most of what I have seen or worked with or was envolved with all led back to just trying an idea. Then taking it apart and trying something else and so on and so on. The 2 guys that trained me about this type of stuff (DB Drag) we would do our work in the day and when the shop shut down at 7:00 we or they would stay and be there until 12:00 to 1:00 in the morning doing testing almost everynight. Theres just alot of trial and error. If you look at thier profiles on Termpro you will see that they were(I think one retired) and are good competitors.(Many world finals invites) Thats all I can tell you. I'm confident in saying that there really isn't anyway to work this type of stuff out on paper first. Thats the extent of my experience.

ISO Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 (edited) When your dealing with 160DB plus DB drag vehicles you just really don't know what its going to take to get that extra DB.

There is also a mechanical limit to what the subs will pump out. Quote BigPimpin91's Banging Music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
