Been out, now back in!

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, my name is Josh LaFountain (Mark LaFountains brother) from Baton Rouge, LA. I used to compete very heavily (Team S.P.E.A.D ) in USACi super stock and street beat. Spent about 4 years in the hobby then sold it all to help fund college. But now im getting back in bigger than ever!

I used to have an ext. cab Ranger with a pair of Hifonics Goliaths, 5 batts, and 3 RE MT 15's. Spent 4 years doing nothing but burping 52Hz and tweaking every single moving part to get that extra dB. But now im fed up with that and wanna build a complete monstrous ground pounder.

So I'm coming out to see Mark in phoenix soon and hopefully we can do an extreme makeover truck edition in a week. Went from an SPL monster to 100% stock and now its time to finally rebuild. I have a 2007 V8 4dr. Silverado.

I'm planning on a pair of XCON 18's and a decent size amp (Sundown 3000 or bigger) and make a good ground pounder. So keep an eye out!

Cheers!

haha watch out, ive thrown 10+ cones on MTs, you get good at rebuilding the cones at some point. Lol apparently MT12s dont like 5000 watts each, so went with 3 15s and problem solved

I bet so, probably how me and my younger brother think alike. lol

I can see me and him going to battle once he gets his system, turns out we know all the same people. He stopped competing in the area the same time I started. Now we can go at it, and I can finally hear some Xcons! :woot:

He doesn't want to all out compete, so I doubt he will be doing the old numbers he was doing(155's) at 58hz, he'll be doing 150's @ 35hz. Should sound much better though :)

We will drag him back into it. It's hard to give up.

Haha idk about that, you'll see one day that burping notes gets old and easy. It's much harder to maintain a good score for 30s straight. I'm looking forward to getting back on the scene though! I'll be happy if a can average 150+ in street beat. Expect some xcons in the baton rouge area within about a month and a half.

Oh and no blow-thru. Taking out the back seat and building a false floor and putting everything in the backseat area.
