I do the videos for educational purposes. If people think i am stupid enough to post videos on youtube of an illegal grow room then they are mistaken. I have a video showing my federal license on my card so i dont have any issues with youtube.
I am a youtube partner, I make money off all my videos, Those included.
I am not going to play into this hole "beef" thing. I showed up with my team with some of the loudest vehicles at the show & we brought home 6 1st/2nd place medals between 6 people. We dont act like we are the best, But we where exited with our results & aware of the room for improvement.
My enclosure was extremely rushed & anybody who actually watched my youtube videos would see that we had everything in 11AM before we hit the cokahala. But we still showed up because we wanted to support keith & his shop.
I messed the port up & the subs had 3.5-3.8 cubes each tops because I messed up the design of the box rushing it, So when I did the cut-sheet I wasnt paying attention & made it too small off old specs I had scrapped.
I am suprised you guys decided to attack me & like this instead of congratulate / encourage us for how well we did with all things considered, There was alot of issues with the truck. Enclosure / electrical related.
Everything is being fixed & done propperly this time, I have designed my new enclosure with the help of rusty @ DC audio, Aswell as luke99's help. My battery bank is under my truck now and im now running a 14v resting voltage battery bank setup.
By the creston show I will have my 2nd 5k amplifier, Both strapped running the woofers @ 1ohm. So I think for my age, & how long I have been doing this at a serious level ( my first SERIOUS year is this year ) and Ive built this truck under 8 months time I am very happy with it.
Thanks for all the support luke99 & keith it means alot, I will be at the next show & would have made the previous one in sask but my vehicle was not ready. I am gonna deffinatly make sure to come & support your shop, I enjoyed meeting you & your employee's I was worried at first some of those in this thread where your employee's thats why I originally wasnt sure if I wanted to come again or not, I am glad it wasnt.
My dad & I and my team had a great time & we look forward to doing it again, We will be making videos & putting them on youtube so if you guys want to continue to act the way you have, Go ahead. But I wont be responding or playing into it. I will however be putting up big scores at the shows i go to & getting better and better, So will the rest of my team.
I dont think you can justify starting this hole thread over me saying I dont want to walk around because theres nothing else to see, We where busy with our own thing & by that time we had seen all the other vehicles so you are using it completely out of context.
Most everything all you have said in this thread is 10x worse. Also you putting a video up of ours and saying we arnt family friendly ? I remember durring the medals being given out the croud had to be reminded kids where presant, Nobody on team DC audio where the ones making those comments that needed to stop, I do not advertise my youtube channel towards children. How family friendly is this attitude you are all taking right now also ?
I look forward to seing your ride again luke & I look forward to hangin out with the soundsgood crew for another day of fun !
see you all there,

see you all there,

the beef I HAD, was with you because you needed to be taken off your "high horse" and not badmouth people who have worked YEARS on their systems, and testing what works and what doesn't. Not just thowing it together and thinking 147 is a good number on a dual alternator setup with 5000 watts and multiple batteries, with 2-18's.
Because it seems you get your information from you-tube or from some heros in the states, and not from first hand knowledge, you will find your climb to the top alot harder than it needs to be. I hope you come out to EVERY event to prove yourself, as it's going to take a LONG WHILE until you earn my respect.
I have said what I had to say and moved on, hopefully you can learn a bit along the road to success.
good luck,
Will

ya I totally agreee with what will just said , you will learn 10x the knowlage first hand talking to people at shows and seeing what others bring to the table , then reading forums , things take time and it takes a long time to get everything firing on all cylinders so just keep coming out to shows and youll gain respect and experiance

Whoa, quite the thread...
I hope to meet you at the Soundsgood show, or maybe even the Kamloops show. It looks like you are very interested in car audio and you want to work very hard on your vehicle, and increase your knowledge of this industry.
Unfortunately, you will soon see the revolving door that is 'car audio'. People come and go every year, new faces, new names, new vehicles, new product lines. Most of the CCA community can point fingers and name names to those who have impacted our sport and are still around. We can also list off names and teams of people who were one hit wonders. *coughwallycough* *coughsunnnnndooooooowwwwwnnnnnncough*. You will soon learn that we all take a lot of pride in our trade, but also demand a high standard for those who participate in it as well. It's not that you're a bad person, or everyone hates you, we just think that anyone who would like to further themselves in car audio, should take a second to see what has been done already, and realize what this industry is all about.
I don't mean to be rude at all and I am really looking forward to meeting you. Good luck with your builds.

It is not like I have ever acted like I am some know it all, Ever. In any of my videos or on here, Like I stated myself & my team-mates where exited with our results with everything considered but aware of the room for improvement. Unlike alot of people I actually point out the mistakes I make in my youtube videos for the world to see, So I dont understand how people get that impression. I even explained how I messed the enclosure up & the port in a video. Most people dont want others to see their mistakes.
I did a 149.1 peak with my alternator bracket held on by 1 bolt and my serpentine belt half slipped off the tensioner. We where lucky we even made it down / competed THEN made it home again to find out that 2 bolts where snapped & was the reason my voltage wouldnt go higher than 13.8, So i had to be careful not to stall it in the lanes.
We finished the enclosure in 1 day I rushed the cut sheet & messed it up so I paid for it in the end, the subs only had somthing stupid like 3.8 cubes each if even that, Witch is strait murder for lvl 5 18''s. We still came because we wanted to support keith & his shop / the scene in canada. So when we ended up getting this type of feedback in return it was a bit bothersome.
I will do my very best to make the kamloops show man I would love to get there for that one as i have family who would like to come out too it.
I am in the middle of upgrading my battery bank to 14v batterys & moving them to under the truck in a custom battery wrack witch is getting built on the 27th by my shop that handles that kind of thing.
I hope I will have my new propper enclosure done by then & the 0 gauge in and waiting, So when it is finished I can have everything wired up for early august, But it will be close.
I had this upgrade planned to be ready for the august 21st show I was unware of the kamloops one when i began this.
So I hope to see you aswell & meet you in kamloops man, But if not I will deffinatly see you in coquitlam / creston ! & by creston I will have my 2nd 5k.
For those who have offered constructive critisims i appreciate it, It is only when those who have crosed the line & acted unconstructively that has gotten on my nerves. But thanks to the support of luke / keith & others it has made it easyer to brush it all off. Again, I look forward to meeting you either in the loops or at the coquitlam soundsgood show !
