Thinking of competing

I was thinking of possibly competing next year, my current setup is in my sig.

I was thinking of upgrading my sub, or would the L7 in a kicker box be good enough? I am not looking for super serious competition just fun stuff like bass race and maybe the odd DB Drag or the CSPL for a daily driver. I have 2 Memphis 1500D's and currently using one, I was wondering if a 15" DDz sub can handle 3000w RMS (2 Memphis 1500D's roughly 3600w) in a custom box.

keep what you have and just make a more spl oriented box before you go spending money on more gear. see how that goes.

If your current setup doesn't work out for you, meaning the kicker then go with a TF1. They kicked *** at north american finals.

well my Epica no longer goes boom at the moment lol.

I was giving my buddy a ride home after work today and I wanted to show him my system. I put on a song with some good bass and set the volume to 45 (which is what Davis said is max right now because I am still breaking in the speakers) so after about six mins of that I got the evil eye from the lady in the car next to me and at the same time no more boom and a funny smell...

kicker sucks

If I finish work early tomorrow I will drop into selective sound to see whats up...

tf 1's are not just for spl alone. With the right enclosure it will sound amazing for daily as well.
