I cant really see you gaining 2 db's from a new head unit. Maybe 0.5 but not 2db. If you were to add another sub you could expect about a 3db gain.

[liam_b]

reson i should gain a cuple is the old headunit was up full and the gains where up full and the speakers still wanted more the preouts on the old headunit where relly low voltage but on the new one the gains are hardly up and its louder and the subs play alot smother but il post up the new reading when i get them hopfuly weekend

[saxo_bigbass]

personally mate id sat get to alpine type r 1242-d subs and wire them down to 2ohms to get the 1100 rms . thats what i used to have but wired to 1ohms 1222-d

[Elliott]

headunit looks alright mate.

[webby]

are you running the gt5 at 4 ohms then? also are you going to compete at all?

[liam_b]

as i have both subs wired to the mono amp it will be at 2ohm so there geting the 550rms each ive only been to 1 db testing and theres where 12 boot installs and i got 5th but my install will be changing to no-wall soon

[Elliott]

changing to no-wall?

whats that mean?

[webby]

you were competing in street b then? was it at t16? you are getting rid of the back seats to put you in the super street nw class ? im going to be competing soon enough in street a hoping to the crack 147db mark with a single 12". fingers crossed! if i stuggle with that ill move up into street b with my hifonincs

a wall is exactly what it means a wall of woofers behind the b-pillar
and no wall means no rear seat but below the window line.
its an audio class

[Elliott]

yeah i was on there stand at a car show in devon the other week yeah back seats are going dont no what class it is in db drag but in proper droopers its no-wall class

147 with a single 12 is going to be hard but good luck mate what fomate is youe install built for bd drag or proper droopers?

[webby]

db drag. i might have a dabble with proper droppers i was going to build a box tuned to about 45-47hz but might drop it so its bit more musical and more use in other classes proper droppers, bass race.

i was looking at the termpro rules and you would be in super street no wall class but you have to keep the box below the window line and you are limted 2 8 strapped monoblocks or 4 standard subwoofer amps with a total of 8 conductors.

[liam_b]

im going to be running 6 or 8 12s off 3 or 4 monos

you can run as many subs as you want but keep it below the window line and behind the b pillar you can have as many batts as you want and any size and up to 2 alts. it used to be really popular that class but most people who get rid of the rear seats think sod it ill wall it.
