A new face that made out was Steve Mead. That's Mead without the "E". Steve rolled in style with this Texas sized Silverado. I was able to catch Steve's eight's in action. Those little eight's were putting out Texas sized bass thanks to the Sundown 3000 powering them.

Another familiar face that made it out was Edward from Austin. Edward's Infinity is clean and cool with a hot Tangerine paint job. The interior is clean with matching tangerine highlights throughout. Edward changed his setup this year to a TC Sounds Neo sub in a 4th order bandpass box. Here we can see the 4" Aero ports venting into the cabin. Edward also fabricated a sweet cover for his amp with a plexiglass window to show off the innards of his US Amp Here is a little behind the scenes on the ports of Edward's band pass box. Stay tuned.

I can't believe the get together has come and gone. It was a good meet with familiar faces and a few new faces. Thanks to Big Jon and the team at the Happy Cow Bar and Grill for their efforts in making this meet possible. Metering and full tilt demos were cut short this year, but that didn't stop us from hanging out and talking car stereos. Enough of my rambling, now some pics. Jake was one of the few to get to meter on BigJon's TL. The Happy Cow Bar and Grill allowed us to setup a lane next to their covered patio. This made for a great meet in the shade. Many thanks. Here's another angle of the people enjoying that nice patio. This is Jake's setup. Two Fi BLs off of a Sundown 3000. Jake is running those Alpine 6 x 9's in a dipole setup. These Austin guys sure are weird. Hence the saying: Keep Austin Weird. More on the way.

See you guys there.

Nice little car, but get ready for the banana and school bus jokes.

I've got a CD with sweeps and tones.

There will be food available for purchase, so we should be good. Thanks though.

i thought the same things as in about the burgers... but.. hes not charging us to hang out there... and hes alowing us to have this many people out there making a ruckus because he stands to gain a few bucks... IE food and drink sales.... so i think bringing a grill would kinda be a slap in the face.......... as far as sodas.. i dont think he would mind... but beer must be sold from him.. as TABC has laws about that. and again the respect thing.... this guy is pretty happy about this.. he was already talking about making it an anual thing..... so i hope it goes well.... Sounds fair to me. I just mention it because I had made arrangements with Steve Mead to bring a grill and food. Cant wait this will be good.

Sounds like a plan BigJon. I've got one question. Do you think your bar owner buddy would mind if we brought a grill and grilled our own burgers? I'd also like to add since the systems have to shut down at 3:30 maybe we should just me there at 11am to maximize our play time? Everyone, thoughts and suggestions please, we're a week away.

That sucks. People that act like hustlers get on my nerves. Terrible he has your number. Maybe you can block his number?

Dang Jay-Cee. Kindergarten? LOL. I was a freshman in high school. Just getting into car audio at the time. Too bad I didn't do anything worth a damn till my recent IB setup.

Here's a pic of the board. What were you doing 7-25-1991?

No way. Are you serious. $35! LOL!

Well I can do a 360 on a 10.

So when is the last time one of you saw one of these? Any thoughts, questions, Impressions, rumors, folk-lore?

Pardon my french, but who the f*€k is Bola?

That's probably the only vehicle that GM offered with a hood longer than what's on my 70 Monte Carlo. That Caddy is pretty pimp. I'd cruise it FWD or not.

These pods are made of abs plastic. If you score the plastic with a razor then bend it, it'll break at the scored line. For the mid I drew the circle. Then I used a razor blade to score the plastic where I drew the circle. You don't have to go to deep. I used a 2" hole saw to cutout the center. Then I scored some lines from the outer circle to the center. I followed up with some channel locks and from the center out bent the plastic till it broke at the scored line. It's time consuming. Hope this helps. By the way, use a hole saw for the tweeter.

All test were conducted with the meter at it's factory preset calibration.

I get you mean. Unfortunately it's mosquito season here in south Texas so .1db is good enough.

Glad you could make it. Welcome

Here it is everybody. First, a big thanks to BigJon. Apperantly the Term-Lab is a rare creature around these parts in Texas. Tell me what you think. Meters were on the windshield on the passenger side. Here's a pic, sorry about the glare. We metered BigJon's Navigator, 2 15" Nightshades and a SAZ3000. Just pics, had some technical difficulties with the video. TL score LCD Bass Meter Score Meter locations Let me here your thoughts.

Looks good. Got the amp and subs hooked up yet? This is going to be sweet.

I am hoping to get some side by side testing done this Thursday (05-06-10). If all goes as planned I should have some vids the following morning. Stay tuned.
