Read this review, states that the amp is pushing quite a bit of power.

What mic are you pulling a 144 on?

No offence but that seems a little low considering the power (over 2000W?) and cone area (2 15's?). You should be able to beat that with half the power with the right subs (on the average mic).

OK...if you're usually closer to 150 with a low tune (by SPL standards)....that's loud... I don't see how you're going to beat that with only $500.

If you simply want better scores in comps....just build a new box.
