gettin ready for my first comp any tips?

I'm new to contest but not to audio at all I stopped by an audio shop to get my car put on the mic and they recommended I wait till the 24th for a usaci competition they are having so I saide why not

the car is a 91 caprice wagon and I'm just runing 2 CVR 15"s a 8 cubic ft box ported at 32 htz andpower by a 05 model qauntum solar 1500.d at 1 ohm (rated for 750rms at 4 ohms) 1 2 farad sunami cap (just so I can have a volt meter) all my wiring is 4 gauge with big 3 125amp alt and my headunit is a kenwood EZ-700sr

also witch class woud I be in?


and also a guy I know is tryna sell me a alpine mrv 1507 amp for around $150 is it worth it?

Have fun and talk to people.

If you run an stock class have someone help you find the freq to play at. If you run street beat have someone requmend a song to play.

If you run stock you should be 600-1800. If you run street beat sb3. Tell the judge your new and he will help you with your class

I gonna see if I can get mic'd somwhere this weekend so I can finde out what my tuning is the last time I had the car on a mic it had 2 audiobahn aw1205q 12"s and a jbl 601.1 amp it did 136.7 I can remember the freqeuncy but that was on garbage alpine headunit and aa weak electrical system I made some upgrades but got jacked before I could re test it

ima keep reading and doing research before I decide

For Street Beat, you would be in SB3.

Youre prolly in Mod 0-1000 being as the box is over the windowline and ur amp is 750 @ 4ohm.


Just go and have fun , trophies are cheap

^^^

yeh box is over window line and about 3 inches tall than the back of the back seat

I agree, if this will be your first show don't worry about trying to win go and have fun. It will be a learning experience on what your vehicle can and cannot do, talk to other competitors some will be standoffish but for the most part they will be cool with you and many will give you helpful tips, what with you being a newcomer. Remember you are going to have fun and learn. good luck in Street Beat 3 or Mod 0-1000 and if you want to see a large number go for Super Port Wars that way you can brag to your buddies your doing 150+

We will be at that show...if you need help or get miced let me know....we will help you

thanks to you guy for the replies and thanks to moonie and mod 4000 for offering there help

hopefully I have a good experience

ha if you get hooked i can see that box coming out for something tuned higher! watch and see.. ha, or atleast a box with interchangable ports.. you may wanna consider that for the future, that way you can listen well and play well..
