thank you for the advice! the only problem is that there isnt anyone around here, besides shops, that have term labs. so what i might do is slip a shop some money to practice on it once in a while. its very addicting to say the least. im already hooked.

thanks scott. well, im going to call some local places that have term labs to see if theyll let me have some time on theirs. i know that i can easily hang in the 130-139.9 class, its just i need more experience. i might hit shawn up to get some tips from him. thanks again scott. -carmen

yep, i live in hudson, youre prob close. there are some comps coming up in brook park that ill be going to in june, july, and august depending on my work schedule.

thank you, too bad i didnt bring home the win. being that it was my first time ever doing bass race i think i did well. it was the splmax show at advance mobile toys in cuyahoga falls, ohio.

i entered my first ever bass race comp with my new system. loaded 15" BTL on an MA Audio hk4000d in a 4 cubes box tuned to 34hz playing "air forces". i qualified with a 139.8 in the 130-139.9 class. i went over the 140 mark and hit 141 for a bit, but had to drop it down to avoid getting put in the 140 class. however, i got eliminated in the first round by someone with a lot more experience, i only lost by .2 db's because i was at 139.9 with a few seconds left and had to drop it down fast so not to break over the 140 mark and risk getting DQ'd. i ended with a 139.6. sad thing is that i had the guy beat the entire time until the last few seconds. there is another comp coming up in june, another in july, and a last in august that im going to enter.

my 15" BTL sounds amazing, great SQ

freaking insane vid steve. keep it up man, youre my inspiration.

i was thinking of picking up two of those. here are two vids that i took the other day, they didnt come out that great, but whatever:

right now i have a loaded 15" BTL (dual 2) and am going to be getting a second one soon. as of now i have a ma audio hk4000d on the BTL. im looking to get either one or two amps to use for the BTLs. im looking for something that will give me around 3500-4000 watts per sub, but not cost an arm and a leg. what do you guys suggest?

nice choice, thanks for the reply. i was considering upgrading to those, just not sure i have the room.

offtopic: chad, what do you have running those 2 BTLs? im planning on getting a second and either adding another amp or upgrading to 2 new ones.

i found the same to be true with my loaded 15 BTL. i have it in a 4 cube box after displacement tuned to ~34hz and it sounds great with some john mayer, robin thicke, al greene, kenny g, etc. i expected it to just get loud, but i was pleasantly surprised.

id hope, especially for all the electrical upgrades required on top of what i already did lol. for now i might just add a second BTL then go from there, that way i wont have to do any immediate electrical upgrades.

hmm, not a bad increase. thanks for the response too.

right now i have a single 15 BTL, loaded, running off of a ma audio hk4000d. im thinking of getting a second sub and amp. i recall reading on here some kind of "formula" for the dB gain by doubling the woofer area and doubling the power, but i cant recall what the numbers were. theoretically, how many dB's can i gain by adding a second 15 and second hk4000d?
