It was actually that the amps went into protect for some reason. Unfortunate for sure for Mike and Mark. While Rip Rock 2 (A-Rok) took 2nd place in SS 1-2 with a highest SPL of 163.7. Congrats to all Canadian competitors.

Chris was right... We had lots of problems there(still here, leving in a hr or so)... We had a bad RCA, LD was inconsistant..........

So we hit the 172.7 off of 2 amps. We then noticed that the deck was screwing up. started probing around. noticed that the rca waas bad. The subs weren't the best, had to do 2 sets of recones. we couldn't burp at full, tryed 3/4 volume, still wouldn't burp. tryed 0 volume and rolled up and as soon as we got to volume 1,all the amps went into protect still. not happy but what can you do
