Anyone use their 3rd gens for sound-off competitions?

I finally decided on installing a system in my 3rd gen just for a local USAC competition our shop is having. It's just going to be for that one show,as I normally use my Expedition for the sound offs and race the camaro for fun,but I want to see what I can do in my 3rd gen and keep it in USAC's pro-stock class. I am building a fiberglass ported enclosure under the glass in the cargo area with three Earthquake DBX series subs and a modified 3500 watt Earthquake PHD-2 amp. Only problem with using 3rd and 4th gens for competitions,is that the door windows have no frame and are almost impossible to seal for maximum spl. Hoping to hit mid to high 150s without any Dynamat,panel reinforcements,etc(since it's temporary). But,we'll see what happens. I'll post my score for those interested. Does anyone here take their 3rd gens to sound off competitions? If so,what kind of scores are u getting?

i don't have my comp. system installed yet just a temp system till i can get the rest of the crap paid off. but my system is going to be 3 12" memphis HP's and two Memphis 1000D's running just the subs its in a sealed box we are guessing the box will hit about 160db in the car because of all the open room in the car and the sound waves don't have to anythign blocking them like the rear seats. onces the system is installed i will post the scored as the loacl shop is going to put my car on the metter to see what the db's are :-D

A third gen here in town has 3 (I think) pheonix Gold Xmax subs on PG amps (Dont know the size of hte amps) He hit 157.6 dB and I thought his damn hatch was gonna fly off. It was insane. He got beat by .1 dB by a Honda w/ 4 Planet Audio subs.
