Collect Five 1st Place Finishes at 2005 Spring Break Nationals
Pioneer congratulates Scott Owens and Steve Cook for their big wins at the 2005 Spring Break Nationals in Daytona, winning in the dB Drag, IdBL and MECA competitions.
Scott Owens used 13 Pioneer 12-inch TS-W5000SPL subwoofers and 52 PRS-D5000SPL amplifiers to produce an outstanding 176.6 dB of sound pressure in the Extreme 5+ dB Drag event, IdBL world record
of 178.8 and an MECA world record of 176.2 dB in his Ford F-250.
Steve Cook not to be outdone set world records himself using 16 Pioneer PRS-D5000SPL amplifiers in his Dodge Caravan, establishing a sound pressure world record of 175.0 dB in the Extreme 3-4 dB Drag event and 177.1dB world record in IdBL.
“Throughout the event, we’re hitting big numbers without a problem. The new Pioneer PRS amplifiers crank out massive power and combined with the SPL subwoofers, produce some serious bass,” said Scott Owens, SPL competitor. “We hit multiple world records that’ll be hard to beat this year.”
“It’s unbelievable what the new Pioneer amplifiers put out,” said Steve Cook, SPL competitor "They are so powerful that I need to reinforce my van to withstand the pressure! This is just the beginning. Things will definitely keep going up from here."
“The 2005 Spring Break Nationals is one of the major events for SPL competitors because it jumpstarts the season,” said Michael Townsen, director of marketing for mobile entertainment at Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. “It is also the first time the PRS amplifiers were utilized for competition. In conjunction with our SPL subwoofers, the amplifiers
performed as expected, withstanding
the pressures of SPL competitions.”
Engineered to produce power without restraint, the new Pioneer digital mono amplifiers offer the extreme performance required for sound pressure level (SPL) competitions. The Pioneer PRS-D5000SPL and PRS-D3000SPL digital amplifiers match the capabilities of Pioneer’s SPL subwoofers. Pioneer amplifiers rival any other bass amplifier in the market, providing the performance required for SPL competition as well as everyday use.
