Just wondering if anyone competes with their stereo system?

Been doing it locally for somewhere near 12 years. We have the local dealer shows, the odd IASCA show and a few of the Db Drags. Went to the Western Canada Slam Jam finals back in 98 and placd 14th in Canada for our class.

Havent really been that hardcore into it the last few years.

Started out with a Blade Grenade G64 and 2 JL Audio 10w1`s. That got jacked.
Then went with Phoenix gold ZX 200amp and an XVR passive Xover running into a bandpassed XS 12 sub.

Ended up buying 3 more of the subwoofers and 2 Phoenix ZX 350 amps.
Soon upped that to 8 subs and 2 more ZX 350`s.

I sold one sub, still have 7 of them and traded off 2 of the 350`s for a PG ZPA0.5 but that didnt work out to well and sold the amp.

So as of now it is 4 subs and 2 of the ZX 350`s.

Last year we decided to get off the porch and take a bite out of the big dogs. My cousin runs a stereo shop and got me a Mmats Juggernaut 15 and the 1400.5 Mmats amp.

Both are still sitting here gathering dust. Which is pissin me off. Cant afford to install or build a box for the sub .

Had an accident at home and lost part of my foot, so i lost my job etc etc. Cant wait untill things get better so i can get it all installed and get competing again.


What are the rest of you running for equipment?

If your bored , drop by www.phoenixgold.com . I been moderating the site for quite a few yrs now. Also hang out on www.canadiancaraudio.com

Ask for Toyrantula

 

early 90s...

then as a poor college student, money ran out...

now with a job and no life... unfortunately, no IASCA events in reg 9!!!!!!!!!!!!

won 3rd place once... big trophy!

 

I want to compete but theres only events here in hawaii maybe once or twice a year, and I dont think thier sacntioned

 

i just compete with my friends but in compettitions.

 

Sorry ment to say i just compete with my friends but not in compettitions.

 

I hit as many shows as I can. Kinda have to travel alot since I'm in P.G. and usually still have to work the next day. The average travelling is 8 hours one way. You got it good Ty. Everything seems to hub from your locale.

I'll be seeing you again a few times this year but probably won't have many more photo ops with both our trucks side by side. Raised a few eyebrows at Andres last year eh?

I'll be keeping the truck SQ and building my 02 Civic for SPL. It has more potential and I want to beat Rob V.O. just once. I'll be happy if I ever can.

 

Well , if I get enough notice you can bunk on the couch if need be. Beating Rob would be great. Love to see that go down. The way things are going, looks like I will be running the 4 12`s again this year.

Cant afford to do the Jugg or rebuild the PG boxes, those poor sealed boxes have been rattled apart over the 10years running the same setup.

Keep your eyes open for any shop that can build a Toy alt up. Anything is better than the damn 60amp jobbie in there now. I think its still packed full of mud

Not really sure if I am going to get competition active this year or not. Might be out at the race track if all goes well this year.

 

Yea, I did a competition a while back and hit 135 db with two W0 10" subs. Got 4th (dang it). I have since soundproofed and upgraded my subs and amp good for 139 db but I havn't compeeted with it. The comps are kindof fun.

 

I run a 220 amp Iraggi alternator in my 2001 Doublecab. I've had it about 2 years now, and it still runs strong. I'm not sure how it'll hold up in mud though .

There is also a shop here in Houston that can either rebuild your alternator or custom build one for you. A rebuilt one would go from about 60amps to 180 amps roughly. If you wanted to go that route, I'd probably find a junker and ship it to them. Once they rebuild it, keep the factory one as a backup

 

Been competing for 3 years and been invited to world finals 2 years consecutively. This last year I couldnt attend due to financial reasons...
