im new to idbl and i think i may have made a mistake by using a single 12" sub instead of 2 10"s... has anyone done any competitive runs with a single 12? i am currently at 142, but i hope to get near 150 once i get more power going to my sub and maybe with some box changes, maybe a horn box... feel free to give me any ideas

well at the finals last year there was a guy named albert who would have had first place if someone didnt opened his door to soon and he only had one 12" of course it was walled and he had tons and tons of power to one 12"

well due to my install i basically have a wall... std cab truck with sub in bed firing through the rear sliding window opening... and i will have 2kw if i ever get mmats to send my amp back...hmm..150 would be pretty cool... (evil grin)

good luck with that 150 but yes, i have seen people with 1 12" take idbl competitions - mid 40s will get you trophies all year long, and most likely an invite to finals.

well the amp is on its way now... finally got through to the people at mmats... giving me a serious run around down there... thinking of swapping the mod mmats for 2 phd2's.... wondering if 2 batts would handle that... thanks

Let me sum this up for you. My brother in law, BumpinBobby, has two 10" Treo's and he just popped a big number, 150.1. And that's with a MMATS D300HC Modified, in the trunk of a 1983 Hurst Olds. As far as me, I have the Illinois Record in this class, hittin 147.3 with one Juggernaut 12 and a D300HC. Go with the 10's!

Well, I am going with 1 12 in Stock 1-160. I just got a DD9512 and I am getting a Virtual Technologies box. I am going to be powering the sub with 2 Crossfire BMF-1000d's (2000 @ 2 ohms MONO RMS). I hope to enter the 150 dB range with that setup
What amps did Pablo Rodriguez have to power his VT Hammer 12 to 150 dB's??? HMMM...I might hit harder than him because IMO a VT Hammer 12 can't compare to a DD9512. Well, I"m just going to hope for the best and see what happens.

kamikaze.. out of the 2 shows ive been to so far, 146 was 5th at one and 3rd at the other.. looking at previous years' scores, i thought it would win 1st at most... but with low 150s showing up it is getting tight...hoping to resolve my electrical probs and join the 150 club myself

I don't know about Illinois but down here to place you need to be doing 152+ in stock 161-260 ------------------ IDBL Stock 161-260 5th place SBN 2001!!! Check Out my Sounddomain Page : http://members.cardomain.com/big_ben3

yeah it is.. makes for good competition though beginners will get swamped... also anyone who isnt in it for competition purposes. i doubt many people buy a system and enter a comp just for fun and actually win around here..

We just popped a new Illinois State record this past weekend:
Two 10" Treo CS's + One MMATS D300HC Modified = 149.8 & 149.9 dB's
PEACE!
