    I was in street B, and got 2nd place with a 140.5db run. Another guy from here "chapter 2" got 1st with 145.9db in street B. We were both running 15" BL, except his box was bigger than mines and he had a bigger amp... :-( Charles another guy on here took 3rd in street B with 137.6db with 2 12" SSDs. Charles man, BIGGER Box!!! I took 1st in bass race 130-139.9. Another guy on here Tom took 2nd with 152.2db in Super Street 5+, he lost to a guy that had 20 15" RF T1, thats not fair.

    In my first post about this you said something about power handling increases. Is that still possible and if so would it cost more money? Also could you check to see if I meet the free shirt requirement? I hope my sub gets there soon bc I cant wait to have it back. Hit me back with any info.

    I just ordered an BL 18 and chose the universal option and the extreme lead option. I sent an email the other day asking about these two options and never got a response. Then after reading alittle on here i saw that they dont answer none order emails. And after reading on here i found out what they are and would like to change my order. Do you all think this would be possible. I have emailed the company, and i did just order the sub. Just wanted to know if youall thought i would get a response from them before the sub was processed. thanks.

  10. Did a revamp today of my pop's explorer. It had 3 RE XXX 15's. We swapped out for 3 Fi Q 15's with the BP Power Package, and he loves the new subs. Old Setup New Setup Please excuse the mess, I had a little grinding to do on one spot for the subs to fit normally, instead of inverted, and I really like it alot better, and so does Pop.

    hey this is for scott, I don't know if you've been getting my emails or not, so I figured since it's been a while I'd just post here. If you didn't get my emails lmk. I talked to Tim Roy of sound xtreme and he said he can recone them. so if you're too busy just lmk, and I'll have the one you have shipped to him or the guy who paid me for it. feel free to email me if you'd like to pm call whatever... Thanks, Tom

    Here is a photography project I did titled "Speakers of Nature." The idea was that the speakers I use in my car have been applied to nature to contrast the uncanny replication of sound that speakers can make to that of something so natural sounding that you would never have known it to be replicated in the first place. Anyways, that was the idea and from there I used everyday tools that just about every car audio enthusiast has to create this project. I will post the pictures in order from cover to cover. Thanks for looking! Ps. Sorry for the quality of the images but I didn't want anyone copying my work. But feel free to use my ideas, just don't claim it as …
