| The
Official European dB Drag Race Finals were held
at October 27-29. 2000 as a part of annual AMA
The Auto-Motor und -Sport Show at Stuttgart Exhibition
Center. There were more than 80 participants and
they were from Finland, Germany, United Kingdom,
Austria, Netherland and Sweden.
The
Death Match competition is the most severe test
of equipment and team co-operation, because
it is required to play as loud as possible for
five deadly, destructive minutes and the mean
value of the measurement is then the result.
During these five minutes it is possible to
break or blow up almost everything and a single
weak detail can ruin the whole performance totally.
During
our five minutes of playing, the audience couldn't
believe their eyes because we kept on playing
and the mean value just kept getting higher
and higher, unlike usual. In the end we managed
to put out 161,4 dB on the meter, proudly winning
the Death Match, and the result was more than
one dB higher than the second contestant.
Our
dB Dragster is equipped with 24 pcs of SPL Dynamics
DIG-1450 class D amplifiers, where a bridged
pair is capable of putting out about 2,5 kilowatts
of clean power to the speaker. This huge amount
of power is put to one of the two voice coils
of six CV Stroker 15D2, which were re-coned
by the team.
The
main power supply is from 24 pcs of Yellow Top
Optima Batteries and the power is routed from
the battery bank to the amps via Alfatech 1/0
AWG cables. During the burp the battery bank
gets more juice from a 400 amp Wilson heavy
duty alternator. The car itself is formerly
known as Toyota Pick Up '72 and now there's
not much other than the outlook that resembles
the original. The speaker box is made of two
layers of one inch thick MDF and the doors,
ceiling and the dashboard are made of 10 mm
steel sheets welded together. The windows are
made of one inch thick Plexiglass and the floor
is carbon fiber strengthened concrete.
Team
Superman is sponsored by SPL Dynamics, Flinkenberg
Oy and finnish audio magazine Hifi-Lehti, a
loud Thank You for the winningful season of
2000! |
