Posted May 1, 200520 yr well..just got back...took second in the local class with a 144.4 outlaw on the new tl using my orion. lost to a box i built,lol, in a grandprix..two eclipse ti 12's (one blown), two memphis 1500d's, two optima's and iraggi alt..145.6.the local class was a run what u brung sorta thing...so my stock electrical system (save the big three and redtop optima) was my downfall mostly i believe as my voltage drops are huge!but at least i lost to my own enclosure..lol!and helped a friend to a 147.6 with 4 memphis pr 12's and an american bass amp...and a first in his class, 0-300 stock.time for a new system...wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
May 2, 200520 yr Author sweetness, congrats Kentthanks, but i'm really disappointed. i figured i'd be quite a bit louder..hell, last year, i did a 145.5 with a pair of treo ss's and a memphis 1000d.some good news though..the lighntning audio/rf rep was there and he deals with the shop i work for. he wants me to build an all LA system in my truck..anything i want at dealer or less cost...and he wants me to drop teh stryke 12 in my wife's box and give it a whirl....wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
May 2, 200520 yr 144..weak !!Looks like someone needs to take their own advice and beef up the lektrikal system
May 2, 200520 yr some good news though..the lighntning audio/rf rep was there and he deals with the shop i work for. he wants me to build an all LA system in my truck..anything i want at dealer or less cost...Good job on the score Frickin' load up on 2000.1D's, Storm X2's. Their speakers are freakin' cheap already, so I can't imagine the price you can get them at.Don't worry about second place / not placing as you wanted to. You've got reps (yes, Lightning Audio, but who cares) approaching you asking them to ultimately build an all LA / demo vehicle ... so you're doing something right, Kent
May 2, 200520 yr Author thanks steve....after i got my second place trophy, he asked what i thought..."second sucks"..he said i was the right kinda guy for them...lol...supa...144 is weak, i agree. and ur right..my electrical system sucks too...but jamie (LA/RF rep) said that i could even get an aly..whatever i needed...i talk to scott tomorrow and see if he's down for helping me get into the LA stuff...wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
May 2, 200520 yr Author *could use a couple LA accesories* Good luck with that.whatcha need?wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

May 2, 200520 yr Author the pr 12's were in a 99 olds bravada....at .5ohm, getting roughly 2kwrms from a modded american bass amp...about 8ft^3, tuned to 34-36hz...about 56-60in^2 of port....he burped loudest 52-55hzi rewired his subs to drop the ohm load...the amp was owned by shane bennet and modded sometime back...it was sweet to watch entry level stuff thump hi end gear (including mine!!).so u need a cap, a shirt and two 1/0 gauge to 4 guage adapters?? i'll see what i can do...supa..no batteries yet..but give me time..i'll see what scott is willing to let me do...jamie is all out for all out..he said "i'll sign off on whatever u need, just get the word out. clothes, gear, decals, stickers..whatever......"i might have stumbled onto a good thing...wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
May 2, 200520 yr Author i could use a batteryI dun like my red topi don't like mine either..i believe it'll find it's way into the wife's car...and the tsunami topper into the trash...wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
May 2, 200520 yr Those PR's are pretty nice. I bet that amp took it like a champ, too.The clothes aren't a big deal, although I do enjoy company clothes to add to my MTX and Alpine collection

May 2, 200520 yr What about RF gear ?LA is RF'http://www.cardomain.com/item/LITVT1that thingy is cool
May 2, 200520 yr Author steve, i'll see what i can do bro...same for u supa...and yeah..the amp never even got warm. it wasn't much of a drain either, unlike mine. i don't think his voltage wavered from 13-14 much...same upgrades as mine...big three, red top...i think my alternator is completely shot. bastage...wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
May 2, 200520 yr Kent - all things considered, that is not a bad number. Even Outlaw. Think about this: How much time have You spent with this setup on the sensor? Testing seating positions, windows, box position, and note? Do You have a one-note box or a box that likes 3-note harmonics? ...and of course, that Orion pulling 200amp+ off of Your alt/batt setup is NOT helping.I agree though... time for a new system, particularly a sponsored one So long as You don't have to get LA painted all over Your nuts. err... truck.-Nick
