had a comp today. ive got my 3 crossfire 1700s running at 2 ohm each. i got a chance to clamp them and i am getting about 1200 from each rising to 3.5 @ 13 volts. NOT BAD!!! Numbers wise i did a 150.9 and averaged 148.1 bass boxing. Organization was IASCA, I took first in Bass Boxing Heavyweight, and second in IDBL Advanced 2.

I was very impressed to see the numbers these amps were producing at such a high resistance, and I really wasnt rising too bad. Im curious to see what happens when I eventually add a 4th amp and run them at .7 each. My box still needs a lot of finish work, thats going to be my project for the next couple weeks.

changed a couple more things before todays competition and they were for the better so it seems. i got a new personal best, 151.2 @ 36 hz and 148.0 bass boxing average.

some s&m inspired bracing and flipped the woofers around

If you thought those gains seemed easy, check this out lol. So i pulled the front 4 woofers out, wired two of the 1700s to .5 each and also braced the box up some more. I put some dowels between the baffles to brace them up. I made plugs for the unused holes and used some weather stripping to seal it up.On to the results....
