I am leaning towards some upgrades just for 'z 'n giggles and possibly the odd show.

Since my spare Memphis amp is rather old school I would have to practically give it away to get it out of storage. So I am thinking of doing a custom SPL box for my L7's and a 1500D amp each, but doing so will also mean upgrading the stock battery and alt.

So it should be fun and loud

In comp is it legal to alter the interior of the car to reduce total amount of internal cf3, if yes do you think it help? I would like to compete but with a caravan it will be hard to get good numbers with a small system...

you have to decide what is more important, because there is going to be comprimise. If you want to be loud, then a small system can do it in your van. If you want to be REALLY LOUD, then you are going to have to devote your van to spl, and not daily driving. most people that are REALLY LOUD have devoted vehicles for spl.

there are classes in every sanction to help the rookies compete and win, for instance, my g/f started last year as a rookie with a single 12" type r sub and 1000 watt alpine amp, and ended up head to head with a veteran at world finals for nationals, she placed 3rd at finals, and 4th in the world as far as certified scores, in her rookie year with less than $1000 in gear. it is possible to win with a small system....

There is no denying it is a fun (and expensive) hobby. And it's even fun to just fart around in your shop with the meter, I am sure the twins and others will agree.
Dale I love. I am extending my arms to give you a virtual hug.
