DSS Tridents and Twisted Sounds S-10. Road to 166dBs

[stevemead08 752]

I figured I would start this log since I have been getting asked what I've been working on.

This has been in the works for a few months and I'm still collecting equipment.

All equipment under the window line and behind the b-pillar. No blow through. Amps and electrical in bed. Not to exceed the heighth of the bed and 36" back from the front of the bed.

92 Chevy S10 ext cab.

3 15" Ethos (stock built)

2 B2 Zero.7 amps

2 Mike Singer 350a alts

A few super capacitor banks.

No batteries.

Questions, comments, rude remarks welcome.

## rebuild on page 52

I'm jealous!! That's gonna be loud...

[stevemead08 752]

Oh maybe I forgot to mention, the retired Usaci world record is 164.0 in 601-1800w. Since the wattage classes changes for 2014 the old records retire. New comparable class is 751-1500w. Rated at 4 ohm.

This is the class I will be in at world finals, and hoping to set a new world record.

Awesome man, I'm tuned in to see the build and how it scores!

[frogcase2002 393]

Looking forward to watching this come together

[stevemead08 752]

Still needs

amps. (not even available yet)

Alts. Mike sent me some empty cases to use to mock up a dual bracket.

Sound deadener is just about finished.

Run wires.

New head unit.

Something for the god awful exterior. I'm thinking about pearl white, roll pan, lowered, and new wheels.

What's complete.

Enclosure

Subs

Capacitor banks

Good luck. Pickup trucks definitely ruled street classes this year in MECA with S1 being an extend cab S10, S2 extended cab ranger, S3 had an extended cab S10, S4 (Only class not dominated by extend cab) Explorer i think, and S5 was a SINGLE CAB S10!

thanks. There was actually some thought put into this build. Not like the SS camaro build where I just stuffed 100 lbs of stuff in a 5 lb bag.

tuned in!

[Drew513Ryder 7]

can't wait to see this come together

[garychurch84 127]

I'm ready to see this!

[stevemead08 752]

Thanks guys. Should be fun.

Trying to get the stereo equipment together then I'll start on the outside. I need to get a bed cover before I do anything in the bed.

Good luck on your world record attempt! I am anxious to see this install come together.

[swift 501]

Good luck man, can't wait to see how this turns out

I also plan to disprove the myth that caps are for burps only. I plan to run a 30 second music runs.

Myth? We had a couple guys do park and pound runs with caps no problems. Chris Hansford ran 2 Taramp 20.2k off quite a few banks on his 4 18" N3's no issue at all and took Park and Pound 5 championship. So, I see no myth at all my friend lol. Now, if you can streetbeat 3 rounds solid with caps then we'll talk lmfao.

[shizzzon 461]

Yea, but look at how many he has.. 

 

He has 16 banks of caps.. 

 

Unless he's burping 400,000w of power, that's some reserve there.

[garychurch84 127]

Batcaps?

The general consensus is such. Burps only.

I have a few teammates that run them an bassrace with them. Look around at almost any topic on caps. There are 200 people saying it won't work and 2 guys saying it will. I personally don't know of anyone running a music class without a battery bank also.

[stevemead08 752]

Batcaps?

super caps.

[pmureika 31]

Batcaps?

super caps.

New technology with caps!

Didn't know they made some rule / class changes for this year ... Thanks !!!

I will get over to the USACI site and read up !!!

With the caps ... I see no problems here.

But the Questiion I do have with the popular S10 is (if you do not want to say, thats fine. Just asking) what do you plan to have the enclosure tuned to ??? I was thinking that those trucks liked to be around 65 - 75 htz for burps ... but What for street beat ???

[stevemead08 752]

New stock and super stock classes are 0-750, 751-1500 and 1501+.

The enclosure is tuned to low 70s. I won't elaborate too much but you get the idea. There is a streetbeat track in the high 60s. I'll use that.
