Thanks phatboi I do have my eye on it but I have a relative dd dealer.

My new build

Then you should ignore those "a lot of people" as they don't know jack. I beg to differ. It's kinda about noise rejection... mostly just for induced noise from the RCAs. Say you're feeding an amp that makes 30v wide open with a 1v signal. The signal has to be 'multiplied' (which is actually what gain is measured in) 30 times. If you have 100mV of induced noise then when you multiply that 30 times you'll get 3v of noise on your output. If you feed the same amp with a 6v signal and adjust the gain accordingly then it only has to multiply the input 5 times to reach full output. So your 100mV of noise only turns into 0.5v at the outputs...

Please make this event. This will be the 1st Meca event in the southern valley. Come out a meat Team Flex Issues and several others. But if your going to bring it you better have it loaded. Rumor has it the dudes with Flex issues are going to run the classes and take home all of the 1st place trophy's again.

Pic's to follow it's raining. I did deaden 1/2 of the car yesterday though.

I bought the vehicle last night. Sorry but I like to WIN so I got a CRX.

I'm still looking for the right CRX! My intentions with this build is mid 55's with some mpg left to attend comps. I will be using fi neo's and a birch enclosure for sure should save at least 200 lbs. With that said I have picked up the following already: Batcap 4000 1 set of Hertz 165 comps Christmas present to myself. I took a month off and managed a Christmas tree lot I'll be getting a 4k check for my slave labor. Lots going to happen the next 2 mths. Team Flex Issues will be hosting a 3pt MECA event. One of our members already has 38 pts next comp he'll retain the State Championship. His average score in Street 5 is 155.4

This build hasn't died! purchases set to begin in January- February.

Thanks for the shirt.

I'd like to toss up some thanks to Chop and the rest of the Iak members. After enjoying the family atmosphere of the IAK and missing what you guys have back were your located I have formed a West Coast Meca team for this season. Our name is Flex Issues. Currently the team consist of 10 members running the following classes. S2, S3, S4, S5,M3, M4. We are defending 4 state records DB 4, M4, S5, and DB5. I can't defend my AS record because I had to move up! However we may get one of the wife's to enter and defend for the team. We have so much still to learn still. At the season opener we took home the following awards: S2 = 1st place 142 me S3 = 2ST 147.5 S4 = 1ST S5 = 1ST 155? M3 = 1ST 150.9 M4 = 1ST PLUS DRIVE 2 1ST in drive by, 1 2nd Best SPL Phat 15 me I also got sponsored by BatCap. Of the entered classes we took 1st in all but 2 which we took 2nd.

Hawk are you going to compete this year?

Typical set down for me is 6-9 hrs. The gypsy was 7 cost me one machine. I'll send you another chop some time in january when I make another 100 machines.

HAHA that is a walmart photo isn't it

Chop that wouldn't be with the machine I sent you would it? If he is having any issues with it let me know... Goes along way as a builder when you own your stuff for a life time

I got a new tattoo too.

New box and new batts I'll be there.

Post up any power wheels photos. plz Thx

Yup we have a meter. I'm also working on judges certification for meca.

Chop localy the S10 is one of the favorite bases. I have 4 proven designs all of which are over 150 in the lanes. Infact the lowest score is 150 using 2 15" bl's and 3k clamped. The highest one is a MECA record holder with a 154 on music and 2 3500 AQ's.

Battery choice has been made!! Xstatic Batcap 4000 will be purchasing 2 for the rear and 1 battcap 2000 for the engine bay Using these coupled with a 240 amp alt I should be able to support 12k easy. Each 4000 can handle a 6000 amp burst. I got sponsored. Welcome the newest Xstatic team member

I suppose that means I can't go wrong with those choices I guess. I have only seen one batcap user on the west coast so I don't have any personal ref's. You guys got any experience with them?
