Welcome... as much as I'd love to see this forum come back from the dead, it's not looking good.

What GSR said^

I do have the stuff to do that...

I'm possibly in as well.

Was there a sport compact thit hit 12s? There were a bunch of domestics in the 10-12 second range. I tjink that white Evo hit high 12s maybe. Just seemed so different than 2-10 years ago. Hope the next one is busier.

Anyone going to Proving Grounds next month? I'm planning on going.

I still like your idea on the vehicle to bring to proving grounds.... I think I can commit to being there

I have a list somewhere of the stuff I deleted.... I'll get back to you (or text me)

Hi, forums are so much better than the Facebook groups everyone seems to have converted to.

I agree... the ironic thing, I looked for a "Like" button for this post.

I may even meander over toward the track this weekend.

Sup everyone. Glad to see you all are still alive (except Bryce, never happy to see him.... alive or dead)

Love it!!!

Exactly!~

What he said^^^^^^^^^^^

Kind of an old-school throwback type install. No fiberglass, no motorization just a good, rugged sound system designed to get loud and sound great!

Since the car was equipped with a factory navigation system and the customer liked the way it worked we kept the head unit in place.... the OEM sound system was a 2nd level Boston Acoustics factory upgrade. When you see the pics you'll wonder how bad the base system must have been to call this an upgrade.... there was ZERO bass and mediocre sound at best.

From there we used a Zapco DSP-Z8 (not pictured as it is a hidden item and is very set and forget) digital signal processor to clean up the signal and provide equalization and crossover control to the rest of the system.

Power was provided by a pair of Massive Audio D-series amplifiers. A D800.4 (100x4) powers the mids and highs and a D3600.1 powers the subwoofers (1800x1).

Speakers consist of Massive Audio CK 69X components mounted in the front door (in a coaxial configuration) and JBL GTO628 Coaxials were utilized in the rear shelf.

Bass duty was provided by using a pair of Massive Audio Hippo 84 8" subs in a 1.5 cubic foot vented enclosure tuned to 38.5 Hz.

Power wire was 1/0 Gauge from DB Link. RCA Cables were also courtesy of DB Link as were speaker wires.

Battery & Battery Box are from XS Power D1200 Series

Sound deadening was from Hushmat.

Now on to the pics:

The products in their boxes

Box Design

Driver door with the panel off. You can't see it in the pic, but there was a ton of sound deadening material installed behind that vapor barrier

Gotta give a shout out to Weshole here, he convinced me to carve up the foam piece to integrate the crossover securely into the door. It worked AWESOME!

1/0 power and ground upgrade up front at the alternator. Another shout out to weshole as he was an alternator ninja for me and managed (somehow) to get his hands in there enough to get those wires on.

Guess which one was the stock speaker.... Oh... and those 6x9's are considered "subwoofers" according to Dodge/Boston Acoustics

Early stages of the subwoofer enclosure going together

Door speakers going in

Test fitting the box

Fitting the amp rack (notice we carpeted the spare tire well to make it all blend nicely

Amp rack all powered up and ready to go!

Box is in place

Retro car...retro install. Gotta love 'em!

Glad to see the show back in Winnipeg!

As always, it depends on build quality. The biggest drawback is that often you can't find a 5 channel with a large enough sub output to match the wants of the user. Massive/American Bass/MTX all basically make the same amp (same board) with slightly different components on them. If looking at the Massive Audio option, the NX5 is a solid amp that meets/exceeds rated power.

We've used these with very good results CMK.

What rounds were you buying.

Winchester white box is what I usually pick up. Walmart was about $0.23/rd, Fleet Farm $0.25/rd or so, and Scheels was a couple cents higher. Price that I found at Gander was closer to $0.35/rd.

UMC was what I bought at that time I believe. Most recently I picked up some Fiocchi for $0.27/rd. Scheels was out, FF was out, Walmart was out... so $.27 didn't seem all that ridiculous considering they actually had some on hand.

Bought some .380 rounds (250 rounds) and some .223 & 5.56 rounds as well (840 rounds) as well as 1600 rds of .22 for my M&P 15-22 at that time as well. Now to start learning how to reload.....

My guess is that you've never had good sushi.

Dave, if I remember right your biggest complaint is the soy and wasabi mixed together tasting like battery acid. You don't HAVE to put wasabi in your soy sauce, I know plenty of people who eat sushi w/o any wasabi.
