Sundown takes home 2nd in IASCA SQc

Recommended Posts

Well, my wife entered the truck last Saturday because it looked like it was going to be a small show. Shortly there after the other cars rolled in and although a smallish show we had to go up against 5 other cars. She took home 2nd in sound quality against the likes of Audison, Hertz, Zapco installed cars. We would have been trailing just behind #1 if it wasnt for some gain hiss and a turn off (mechanical) pop....JAKE you need to get this problem handled. (amps in the cabin and it is indeed mechanical noise). Other than that, with 1/2 hour of tuning and a 2nd place finish is prety nice. We are seriously thinking about doing SQi @ West Coast Regionals (my comp car is out of comission for the season) next month in the Rookie class to see how we fair, we would get destoryed in SQc but might have a shot at it in SQi. lol

Congrats :)

Do you have a Class-D amp in there ? They have a mechanical relay in there to decouple the output - it will click.

We have also found any hiss to be highly install dependent even in SQ competition -- same 7 amps out of one SQ car into another that has scored nothing but perfect in the "system noise" category.

Yup I still have the same 1500D and 100.4 you sent me the very first time....still running like tops. (1500D @ 2ohm the whole time) So yes, the 1500 is making the audible click. As for system hiss, I can't hear it but the judge could. Obviously this judge can hear bat farts from 100ft.
