First MECA run ever

[edouble101 314]

Just for fun I took my car to a local MECA event. The judges and organizers were extremely friendly and very helpful. Excellent group.

I was placed in M4. I have a DD M3a and a single 18" Z.3. My enclosure is the complete opposite of an SPL enclosure. I can only imagine what it would do in the right enclosure.

I managed a 142.87 @ 35hz. Not too bad I guess. I really thought I would be over 145 though.

MECA's scores are always lower than any other league because they measure at the headrest which has ZERO loading around it.

I demoed it a few times before the run and everybody thought I was close to 150. I think the "wow" factor of the 18" makes it deceptive.

IASCA was there too. Maybe I should have went over there

Doesnt matter much. I didnt design this system for SPL.

But who drives with their head in between their legs, or up in the windshield?

nice score, very low too nice and impressive,

people that know very little offten say things like " thats gotta be 150 bro"

never the less, sweet score,

most people here ONLY meter in the kick,

me personaly i run in another orginazation, that meters at the head rest... its harder to put up big numbers but its funner to try,

i have done a 147.7 at the head rest on music. thats my high so far...

again great job.

good number at 34hz!! Yeah it's deceptive, my 15in FI Q did 140at the headrest at 30hz with my old setup. Can't wait to meter the new shit.
