Was the ford escort there JBL gear in it?How many subs were in her?It has a orange cabin with air brushing on it.159db from ss1-2 car is a very good score,was it a proper wall set up or a large box above window line?

Thanks for results guys

Clarkie

Nope, the Escort didn't come along.
God knows what that was under the Fusion car.. maybe he couldn't afford the entire drop tank ?

Cracked the 140's with the lil' blue hand grenade . 141.8dB off the single Magma 12". BTW, the California amp survived 1.5ohm mono

i just have to laugh at the guy running it announcing troy as "another proud member of car audio australia".. all of us laugh, troy shakes his head.. and the guy goes "oph.. maybe a not so proud member..."

LOL

and i think i speak for everyone when i say that we cant wait for blackice to tap the full potential of that magma cause damn, if you can get 138 with the magnavox in teh prefab box, then you should be able to get alot more out of it... heres to looking onward and upward

the thing hanging under the little fusion car was the batteries and yes it is legal for ss1-2
I know cause i built it.
Every time we done something to the car we had the 2002 rules out to make sure it was legal.
By the way i'm not trying to big note myself just thought i should clear it up.

We didn't bring many cars down as our DD gear is not here yet.

To truck down cars like the Mira or our Wagon is an expensive excercise, we'll only do it when we can hit big numbers.

AJ didn't compete as he was mainly there for display, if you noticed there was only 2 MTX 81000Ds in the back. By the sounds of it he still would have won anyhow! AJ hit 156.9 on that meter last year, with his old box and old subs. His car is now over 4 dB louder, even with two amps instead of four.

Never mind, we'll be down for SAS 2003 and FB 2003.

142.9 was my final result against Icebreaker who knocked me out with a 144.* I think it was? two CAA guys in the finals in each lane was cool

But also rich got a 144.* with the same box he was running at Doran's when we both hit a 147.3

My conclusion is my slot ports haven't been much of a sucess lol Now where to buy some aeros

Why are you some of you saying that the meter was down? Did anyone have a system that was the same as a previous attempt on those meters?

Going by our comparisons, yes, the meter was about 4dB down from QLD's highest reading meter. The meter I hit 147.0dB on is about 2.5dB higher than the Final Battle meter, therefor, if I brang my car down I should have hit about 144.5dB putting me in 2-3 place, single 12" woofer... I'm not sure what's going to happen once I get all my gear on, but primary calculations set me at 150dB, this is my goal, SAS2003 is probably going to be my maiden voyage and first attempt on a proper dB Drag comp...

I know it's easy to talk, but here's hoping! hahahaha, Phil, I hope you took note of what I'm saying, QLD meter's ARE high, Dave's meter, the one you test on, reads about 4.5dB louder than dB Drag. Proof could be given from Dave's (Scotts) Ute which pulls 150 on his meter, but only pulled a lousy 143.* at Final Battle.

With the Kramy Van plans and mine and Rippedskins, QLD WILL be the loudest state! muahahahaha!

Well all I will say is that they appear down or they could be up who knows cos you are comparing it to meters that also haven't been calibrated.

would of been nice to see some reliable scores but who knows.

Being a final wouldent the mics have been calibrated?I know they had to for NZ finals as per db drag rules(I think its in the rules)

Clarkie

It wasn't the Finals, it was at Autosalon Final Battle, the finals for the Autosalon competition. But it was the Australia, dB Drag finals...

it wasn't a 3x event where the it HAS to be calibrated

i have told you by plans are more SQ focused... i'm over the bandpass now!
