Yeah I tried to do both SPL and SQ this year. Will not be doing SQ next year so in the process of stepping up the game for next year. Might just get some stamped steel subs and do Street stock.

Interesting.....you have 2 separate vehicles to take to comps??......I wish I had your coin......

Considering how much time and effort Nick put into his car, I think it does really well at both......a really good example of how you don't need a bottomless bank account to get good sound......

Considering I was talking about Nick's car at the time I don't know why you're getting excited.....the fact that you have 2 different vehicles tells me you have more time and money for this sport than I do.....


If your time and efforts are paying off for you congrats......

Sigh.....you may have read it that way but that's not what I said......there have been enough threads with comments about guys who spend large $$ and have no clue what was done to their car.....I spend my time helping guys get the most sound we can out of whatever equipment they happen to have and still manage to have fun doing it.....

Annnny way. I was looking around the net and all I can find is people competing in no wall nothing about what "a wall" is? Can anyone explain what a wall is or pictures so I can figure out what to build. As for clairion subs they arnt bad but my first system in my dakota was two ten inch jl 10w3v2's and I got A&B sound to do the install. They gave the truck back to me with the subs pressing hard against the seat, so I didnt think it was a problem. well after 2 sets of subs i finally put some grills on them and never had a problem after that. But that was well over a year with them pounding hard into the seats. These clarions I have had the seats down 99% of the time I might have forgot about twice in a year and they are fried. But they arnt bad for what they cost. Thanks

hmm thats pretty much what it is. Like do you use the trunk as the box or do you still need to build the rest of the box inbehind?
