You can compete with a cheapass car. In fact, it's almost encouraged </font>[/QUOTE]I know that Jordy knows this but for all of the newish people to the SPL scene here is a few words of advice. Yes believe me I love hearing and watching cars rattle like b@astards but for every rattle you have in the car it is like adding moving mass to a woofer, you are effectively wasting energy, but on the other hand some vehicles will actually want to be rattle cans and if you try to eliminate them your spl will go down. SO TEST TEST TEST AND DONT DO ANYTHING THAT YOU CANT UNDO!!!!!! Sorry for the rant but I am really going to make an effort this year to help new people so that we can keep the sport growing in Canada!!!

You just never know!

It's going to be great if PT can get back in to the SPL game like they were 2 years ago.

I remember seeing your green van at the Gatineau show 2 years ago. It was awesome!!

BIG LONG RANT ABOUT THE MULTI WE HAD SO IF YOU DONT CARE SKIP THIS POST!!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN FOR WARNED!!


We are thinking about it...... Just right now the shop is to busy and we have no time to get anything going. Yeah once you witnissed the debotchery that was the multi you could never forget it. I know I wish I could!!!!!!! I remember pulling that thing into audio thunder and it was the first time it had ever really been seen, and having Sam Horn (he is a judge for DB Drag for those of you who dont know him) come up to me and tell me that him and Wayne Harris ( President and owner of DB Drag) had a bet going about us. Wayne said we were going to get the holy crap kicked out of us, and Sam said that we were going to do all right. This was also the same show that the new sensors were going to be used instead of the "Mic" so no one really new what to expect. We blew up 2 amps like two days before and did not have replacements for them so we had 14 Visonik V900's and 1 planet audio 2250 in place of the 2 V900's that were smoked. So we went into the lanes near the end of qualifying and the highest score in our class ( again for those of you who dont know us was super street 1-2 wall) so far was like a 153.???? and there were only like 2 people in our class that were to qualify after us. We set the thing up an let her go..... we did like a 157.5 I think and we went nuts cause we really had no idea what to expect. We went back to the lanes and started checking things to make sure everything was still okay, because one of the woofers looked like it was'nt moving as much during the burp. We found out that the planet audio amp was out of phase with the rest of the amps!! we fixed that and started charging. When we went in next we dropped the volume a few notches because we did not have back-ups and had the highest qualifying score so there was no point to go full out. We posted a 157.7 and moved on. So since we backed up the 157.5 with the 157.7 we now held the world record. On to the next day, we rolled back into the lanes against a really good friend of mine Cameron Gunn, and he posted a 155.??? and we hit a 158.2 and we were on our way to the final. In the Final we hit a 158.4 and Ian Ashton hit a 155.8, so we had won the show and upped the world record to a 157.7. Now since we were the highest qualifier we got a bye and missed one round, so Wayne gave us one last run to se if we could beat the 158.4 to have that as the world record. We hit a 158.6 on the last run and upped the record. So to end this story we went to finals and hit a 160.3 and the concrete slab that was the top of the box seperated from the concrete walls and went down like three db when we were testing in our pit stall, so that was that. who knows what we would have hit with that 11,000 pound monstrosity had the enclosure not busted!!! I guess we will never know!!
Again I am real sorry for the rant butI really do miss SPL and love remenissing about our days in the past!!

 

There was no multi, it was all a hoax!

 

1 thing I dont miss is pushing that monster around

 

that was actually a very nice story to read. straight and to the point. and most of all....it had a good ending, just like a fairy tale

btw....i'm a competitor too.

Except I dont do it for the loud cars or the babes, I do it just so I can see ChrisB and Richard Wade bend over looking in their trunks.
