Driver backed off into a culvert with a fully loaded truck. Made for an interesting recovery. Driver had no injuries and the mixer is repairable. It should be back on the road in a couple of weeks.

Thank you Sir. My low beams work so well that I never really need high beams for daily driving So I figured why not grab the HIDs out of the 97 Chevy's lenses and use them since I have them. I was surprised to see that they were an exact swap out. I have some 15w White HIDS that I plan to put into the Back up lenses. They make great back up lights without modifications. Just have to find time.

Always clean and simple brother! I love it.

You have inspired me and gave me great advice many times. You don’t disappoint!

Thank you Sir. 

I have got to find time to get back into my doors. They need to be braced and sealed ASAP. 

I have to say that I am really impressed with the performance of this Brutal Sounds driver. It’s not a true “Get down and dirty” SPL or Sound Quality driiver, but with that very dynamic amplifier’s help, a general all around very solid performing driver !!! Hard accurate hitting bass !!! 

Oh dang, I’m rambling again ... these Tequila Sunrisers working on me here at the Casino ... LOL

Well Sean, guess you win. With a little luck, Avalanche will be going full active on the 2way front stage this weekend. Getting ready for MECA.

Is active a requirement for MECA? What processing are you going to use?

keep the pics a coming! :D

I'm competing in MECA Street SQ class this year. If I am reading the 2019 rules correctly, processors are allowed in all SQ classes. Not Sure, guess it's because of factory integration. To answer your question, No, I'm not upgrading to a processor. I'm just adding a pair of old school crossovers to allow me 4 channels on my 2 way setup. Basically bumping up from 150w per channel on 2 channels passive to 150w on 4 channels active.

What should have taken me a few hours took me all weekend to wire all of this up. Everything works according to plan, but my doors being stock is not working. At all. They need to be treated ASAP !!! Only down fall to this for me is I will have no sub bass until my amplifier gets here. Is what it is I guess.

 Well that answer is the why. I run about that much to each driver. Love the dynamics and accuracy with that much traction on the cone! 

 I feel you on the doors as well. Currently have the metal treated and MLV. As of late the plastic door panels have developed buzzing. So back in I go. 

 Really hope to make it out to an audio show or two this year and hang with some of you guys. Have already started the planning. Also my daughter may very well end up at Ole’ Miss this fall. So may be in your neck of the woods quite often if that’s the case. 

Keep up the killer work my man!! :fing34:

I'm looking real hard at the Helix, but unfortunately, don't have the funds like in the past.

To be honest, I'd love to upgrade to the Kenwood DNX995S and the Helix. But like I said, money just ain't that easy to come by these days.

Saving my money for this ...

Wish I could throw out the old Visa Like I use to back in the day ... Hoping to get this and have it installed by MECA World Finals. I'm sure I will have no problems qualifying without it.

Thank you Sir.

I’ve sort of been out of the game for a while when it comes to computers, so it may take me a month of Sunday’s to get this thing tuned. I love the Helix, just going to miss the simplicity of tuning at my fingertips now that I have to tune with a laptop. I’m sure the results will be a positive when done !!! 

Got a driver in the passenger door acting strange lately. Hope it’s not hurt, but if it is, I can replace it. Can’t complain if it is, been beating on those 6.5” drivers for SEVERAL years now.
