Thanks man! I'm not sure when the alternator will be, but probably soon. Just drove it for the first time at night, and I have some major voltage issues. lol. Also! Test metered it tonight. Started at 139.8Db with a 48 Hz tone and after some amp adjustments, seat shifting, and box moving (<<made the biggest diff) I ended up with a 142.7Db. I'm happy, but was hoping for more. My biggest downfall is running a factory integration processor I'm told. As well as the clearly obvious voltage issues.

[QUOTE="clpeller"]

Ha ha. Ya, one guy has 4 XL 18's in his truck. We've got a DB drag event tomorrow so it should be interesting to see what he's hitting (he's tested, but won't tell anyone numbers. lol)

Take pics for us! Id love to see that DC truck.

Stole some pics of the guys four 18 build off facebook. I wish I had his talent/patience for box building. He's amazing when it comes to this kind of stuff! He is running the 18's off a single 10K kicker warhorse, but he want to try to find a second one and have 10K per two subs. I'll also grab some better pics of mine today, won't quite compare to this guys, but oh well. haha.

Well, Competition is over. I won 1st place in my class! Rules for my class were one amp, (4) 8's, (3) 10's, or (2) 12's. 142.5 Db was the winning score. My closest competition was a guy with 2 rockford 12's and he hit a 142.3

The guys in the open class hit waaaaaaay higher. haha. One guy had 2 kicker 18's off a soundstream 15K, he hit 154.8Db. The guy with 4 DC 18's hit a 154. Funny thing is, those two guys are roomies. haha.

Also, forgot my camera at home and am currently phoneless, so I didn't get any pics from the show.
