Dozier Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 Hey everyone, my name is Adam and I was just curious on what category I could fit into for competitions and stuff. I have been around the car audio realm for a little bit and was wanting to get involved in competing when I get out of the Marines in October. I will start to set up my Explorer so that it will be within the guide lines. I would like to do the loud music on a mic. I think this is bass racing. Correct me if I am wrong. And I also know that people are going to knock me for using two XXX 12's to be loud too because they are not spl subs. But it is what I want to do anyways. Any help would be appreciated on this. And would my classification have any draw backs with me having an upgraded alt and two batteries?

kingsuv Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 The 12's should be fine just build a nice streetbeat system and you'll find your bassrace class.

Yahoo IM - kingsuv00If the listening level is too loud, please inform the driver, so he can promptly pull over, and let you out. not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeSPL-SCAMMER Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 I agree.. those subs will be great.. Quote IM A LOW LIFE SCAMMER SO I WAS BANT....TEH HAMMA is NOT my friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dozier Posted June 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Well the system is pretty much done. It slams haaaarrrd. The box is just uncovered and I am needing to get maybe two more batteries. In the future maybe a second alternator. So what you are saying is to go to an event and let them categorize me when I get there?

David Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 in bassrace it depends on how loud you are as to what class you go in. class's break down like this 119.0db's and down 120.0 to 129.9 130.0 to 139.9 140.0 to 149.9 150.0 to 159.9 160.0 and up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dozier Posted June 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Now with bass race, what I want to do is pick a class that I can win in right? Soo if I know my truck can do a 150, but not much over that, I should do the 140-149 class so that I can win that one without breaking out of my class right?

Derrick824 Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 (edited) Remember that Bass Race takes the average score played on music, not the peak played using a test tone. Your Bass Race score will be much lower than your Db Drag score. If your peak is 150db then you'll probably want to compete in the 130-139.9 class. The trick here is picking the right song, getting a good start, and controlling your volume corrently. It takes a lot of practice to get perfect.

David Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 yea thats pretty much the idea, around here I have noticed that if you burp a 150 you'll be about a 147 ish bassrace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
