Re: Complete Competition Memphis Set (competition)
Wow, flashback for yours truly, back when I was a wee youngin' doing competition setups. Last one we did was late 80s or early 90s (can't remember), about the time Fosgate came out with the Punch amp that was stable down to like .5 ohm. We used two Punch 45s, one for subs one for everything else. Trick was, we crossed the subs (mtx blue thunder) when wiring so that we ended up at about 1 ohm resistance. Car was in the 100 watt and under class, but was cranking the equivalent of about 800 watts.
This was far enough back that you still had 2 main competition circuits. IASCA and I think is was USAC. USAC was all about the boom, I think 90% of the score was SPL. IASCA actually judged more on sound quality but I see they do all the SPL stuff now too. Part of it was because I listen to everything from Mozart to Metallica (or ACDC to Zimbalist). I wanted a system that could knock the windows out if I wanted, but could also play a classical concerto with a proper front stage and tonal quality. Spoiled, I know... :)
