Had a great time at the sound off on Friday. Turnout was pretty strong considering it was a "work day". This was my first year at the event but the first year I actually entered my boat. I was pretty happy with the results my "functional" boat posted (stock charging system, no loss of storage). The single Wetsounds XS12 powered by a 4 year old HiFonics BX1500D in a sealed box posted a 141db reading. The tower test is still not a really working. After plugging my rear subs back in, I discovered the tower test responded more to volume changes in my sub than it did to volume changes in the tower. This was obvious when some of the boats with big sub systems in the rear storage compartments ran. I found it interesting when a boat with some 6" car speakers on the tower posted bigger numbers than the boats running big pro-audio tower systems. My ears judged otherwise once I was more than 30' from the boats. I took lots of pictures and left the camera in the bag way too much. There were some great photo moments, hopefully others were able to capture and post. I will post the photos under a different thread.
