New to Street Beat. Help a potential SB2 competitor.

So I'm not all too familiar with Street Beat, or USACi for that matter but as of right now my set up isn't geared towards peaking/burping so I figure SB and Bass Race are my only options. I do own a meter, I bought a handheld SPL Labs meter that's supposed to be dead on with a TL. Right now I'm running 2 12" BTL N2's on a DD M3a and doing a 143 on a 30 sec average in the kick. My main questions are what's the deal with mic mounting? Is it on glass or where ever I want? and where can I get a SB cd for testing?

CAll the USACi office and order the cd. metering is done outlaw in the kick.

What does the event type mean on the scehdule? Like FE and what not.

fe means full event as in spl and sq some times its just spl.

Thanks man.

if thats your ride in your avi get with skip01 or alan hall both can get ya to a 148-150 sb easy. i know skip01 can do a 150 easy with 2 12's an 2 sa2500.1's at .25 each i think, not sure i can find a vid for you though bro hang on.

Yeah, that's my truck and it looks like I'm gonna need to run more power to keep up with you guys. I just picked up a Cactus K5 to run at 1 ohm and I'm redesigning my box to hopefully be louder, should know by Saturday but I'll get in touch with him. What kinda electrical do you think it would take to drop the K5 down to .25? Right now I have a 250a alt, 2 each pos, and neg runs of 1/0 to the back, an XS D3400 starter and D3100 auxiliary and @ 1 ohm I only drop to 13.5 at the lowest (from 13.8 ).

But I'm not sure I wrote it in here but with the old POS designed box I could SB 145 w/ my M3a at .25 ohm dropping to 12.1v

id say u could burp it at .25 right now and do a sb run with it at .25 but i wouldnt do it daily . and be fine i burped my pf600.1s at .25 but didnt like music taht low but would play .5 all day no prob. i got a buddy running a k5 at .5 daily on 18v. with what u got u should be able to get a 150 sb out of it with testing. do u have pics of your install?

It's all tore out right now for the new box but I can give you a link to a build log of it before I tore it all out.
