  5. What size Silver Flutes did you choose? I loved my 6.5" SilverFlutes, cant wait to see all the pictures. That mini looks pretty cool.

    I actually could have won for the world record. If I had done 32hz like I originally planned, it would hold over a 156 for 2 minutes for sure. But, being a good sport, I dropped down to a frequency that I know isn't my territory. But I did it to put on a good show for the crowd. Yeah that makes sense.

  10. These SB Acoustic SB29RDNC-C000-4's are the best set of tweeters I have ever had a pleasure to listen to. Output is ridiculous and the fidelity is phenomanal, cant wait to get my SB Acoustic mids. These little puppies are heavy, well worth it.

      Nice! Makes me question my xs28s after swapping to seas for the ID mids.

      I never heard the xs28s so I cant compare. Just glad I finally made the jump, ive been eyeballing them for the longest. Id say go for it. After talking to ///M5, im leaning towards the Seas ER18s myself.

    Y splitters for what, please explain more in detail about your problem and setup so people can actually help you. Go over all your wiring even if you think its right, pull out subs and check even if you think its right. Have you done any troubleshooting so far, if so what did you do and the result.

    Questions: Ask Nick anything....

    Hey Nick, Any dirt sheets or new bass cds coming soon? A pinned recommended enclosures thread like the one already in this section, but updated for all new drivers. Keep up the great work and amazing products.

    It could but just becuase you wire down for more power, you would still have to factor in how much of that power is wasted and turned to heat. I would think the efficiency of 2 amps at 2 ohms could match 1 amp at 0.5 ohms or come close. Just my theory

    Metered my car with the Ethos.

    With that equipment a 140 should be easy out the gate unless it is something terribly wrong with the install. Hate to be the one to agree, but I did a 140.5 with the equipment in my sig in a Neon. Something isn't right.Edit: Never updated my score in my sig, but it's on the MECA website in 2012, if you want to look it up. I guess since everything is subject to criticism then I'd say your score was low too. This was the guys first ever time on the mic. With the information given I am to assume he didn't really know his peak frequency since he claimed to be tuned @ 28hz and metered at 43hz. Hell my first time on the meter I got a 143.8 with a single 15" Obsidian on an AQ2200 at 2 ohm in a pre-fab. Check MECA website in 2013 if you want to look that up in AS2. Truth is as a competitor I'm glad the OP has come out and gotten his system metered because the sport has been in a slow decline over the past 20 years. Every competitor we can get is a new challenge to me. I'm sure he knows that he can do better and I believe he can as well. I just hope he sticks it out and keeps coming to the shows and gets louder each time. *** after edit *** OP - after reading this it had me go back to check my progress with last years numbers. They increased each show mostly lol Just keep up the work and you'll keep gaining. Show 1 - 143.8db Show 2 - 144.9db Show 3 - 145.0db Show 4 - 146.9db Show 5 - 146.8db (Not sure what happened here lol) Show 6 - 147.0db Show 7 - 146.1db (Tried metering on a different side at this show with no 2nd run) Show 8 - 147.7db You guys get so defensive on here. Nobody said the score was low and nobody criticized. I simply stated with that equipment a 140 out the trunk should be easy regardless your first time. Plain and simple, nothing more nothing less.Sorry for cluttering up your thread OP. Any pics or videos of your setup? There are a number of things to try to gain the next time your on the meter: closed air vents, open glove box, moving seats around, visors down, among other things. But sealing the trunk from the cabin should help out as well, have fun with the chasing dbs man. Any goals with numbers you want to reach.

    Just bought my stuff for this install...

    Nice find, can't wait to see the build log.

    They look good to me, especially like how you used the door panel grills as protection.

    Just worry about your electrical being up to participate and building an efficient enclosure and you're set. Yes the stock Bls will be fine unless you plan on buying another amp and raising the power some in the future.
