Want some tips on sb1

Okay so It seems I always feel kind of dumb asking these questions due to the fact most forums are filled with sh*t talkers, but here everyone seems very cool and knowledgeable. So here goes I bought a 1988 crx si hoping to build a good competition car. I did compete in the import face off last month in the 0-600 stock only doing a 151.6 my cd player wouldnt allow it to get any louder it kept skipping. Now I decided I really want to try out street beat so Im gutting the car to deaden it this week over spring break. I have a 220 amp alt being built (currently running a 190 amp alt). I have to buy some subs and amps still, but am torn on what to run I am leaning torward dd 9510s, dc lvl 5s, or rd heavy weights. I also am most likely going to either run sundown, dd or cactus for the amps. What has anyone else had success with in crxs in this class.

Crx is one of and probably the best vehicle for this class. The loudest setup in SB1 so far was 2 DD9510s and 4 Crossfire 2400s. Best thing to do is fine a song that plays the frequency your vehicle plays and find amps and subs in your price range and make sure you go with 2 good batteries and have a good electrical system.

Thanks man thats what im talking about no bull Sh*t fast and good reply thank you for the help.

Get with Andrew at McCane mobil audio ! He will be very helpful on equiptment and instalation tips and what not!

i know 2 maybe 3 others running crx's in sb1.

ask around about sound deaden , sb in a crx ya dont want to deaden in the wrong places

You can also look up Hunter Warren in Farmington. He has not built a CRX yet but he knows what he is doing. He is HunterW on most forums.

Ya I'll meet hunter and the guys from farmington on the 20th I'll be driving up there for sure. Not competing just going to check it out.

Get you some 12in pvc tubes some 6in aero ports 2 nsb90s 2 good 4k watt amps and 2 subs that can handle that run each amp at .5 and get the quad force feel the real bass cd and that should get you off to a good start.

man even gave out the good cd

LOL thats a perect start for a win

Dang you went all out. LOL. You did everything except build it for him. That's ok he'll be in my class and I like the competition.

competition Na. I'll get stomped, first time attempting street beat I also have little experience with the crx too so no man no comp yet lol.

Sh*t. This is the same setup I plan on doing for sb1

yo what do you think about the dc lvl 5s for a set up like this?

They should work fine in there make the 12in pvc tube about 18-20in long and start with a full lenght 6in aero and get a termlab to test that cd with might have to cut the port down a inch or two

Now thats what real men do too help out....not all secretive ish.

Right! Its awesome to see people who do help out though.

two words cd changer

Why? I have a pretty nice alpine now doesnt seem to skip at all

If anything take your deck out to run sb just extend the wires and you shouldn't have any problems also when your testing try differnt things close ac vents, remove headrest,move visors in different positions I can go on and on you just have to test and see what your car likes

deaden kills the score in a crx dont do it unless you have an hf/dx then just do the roof

subs would be rd hands down they have been the lodest for me

amps is a toss up but if dd means z2lv then ide say them ones lol

okay for sure will do. I gotta sell my btl 18s and my aq 3500s then I'll buy my new subs and amps and get testing.

Dung Pile aq 3500's are great sb amps for sb1 man

If you need anything else just ask and ill answer it the best I can.A lot of people on here might not give you a lot of tips for street beat like I just gave you but this sport needs more people involved so I'm willing to give out any information I can tell help more and new people compete for Usaci.
