yea, that thing is neat to watch ... ... I will not say another thing about competition again on this forum. Is it ok if I keep my signature updated if I get lucky and win anymore?

I do not use amp gains if thats what your asking.

yes sir. right at about 200w per channel.

Model RMS Power @ 4 Ohms Stereo 12.5 volts THD 20-20KHZ Mono Rating 4 Ohms ** Maximum / Peak Power Damping Factor 4/2Ohm Channel Separation Slew Rate Volts/mSec Signal To Noise Ratio Required Fuse 2 Ohm St 4 Ohm Mono Capable Internally Bridgeable Frequency Response 2.2HV 12.5W x2 RMS 0.004% 600 Watts 1500 Watts 300/150 >72 dB >95 dB 40 Amps Yes Yes 5Hz-200kHz ** Mono Rating @ 4 Ohms is tested with the power supply taps moved to 2 Ohms setting where applicable. This the link from Linear power. just add a few mods to it and see what you come up with.

I typed it wrong sq_mgb, thanks.

my 6 1/2s and tweets have about 400 watts on them (extremely modified amplifier). I also have 5 batteries and a 200 amp alt. I wish you could hear my truck. It gets very loud. I run it in street beat classes to. ultimate autosound did a tahoe with 4 rd audio tweets in each a pillars, 6 1/2 in the kicks, 2 6 1/2 in the doors on a 4 channel rd audioamp. It was very loud. 4 18s in the rear. sorry bout that.

Sounds great guys ... M5, Our conversation is over sir. Thank you for your time.

I admitted that just so you would Please get out of my build log. You havent give me any suggestions. just bla,bla,bla. If you think you are better than me ... That challenge is still open.

I've tried to explain everything about my truck. You are correct. Installation is 50% and equipment is 50%. That myth about rear speakers is something like you said in another post about 12s not sounding better than 15s, or 6 1/2s can't be made to sound better than 8s. Anything is possible sir if the installation is correct. Installation and Equipment can not work without the other. The guys that helped me are proven to be the best in the competition world. Mulitple time world champions. They know what it takes to win. We've proven that. Impious made alot of sence in his post and I very much thanked him for that. That man knows his shit !!! Alot of people want good sound. ALOT of people want to be the best in car audio. When you pull up into a parking lot, you want to have the baddest ass system there !!! I only give suggestions that I use myself to be the best in my game. They are teaching me what it takes to win. Compared to amps today, Linear Power is not expensive. Just very good electronics and have a VERY long use life. As for BluesCarAudio, well, the car audio world is in for a shock.

aawesome project ...

www.linearpower.com does amp repairs if interested.

welcome ... awesome setup ...

This should be good !!!

Most people get into car audio for 2 main reasons 1. sound good and show off. 2. BE THE BEST IN THE PARKING LOT !!! Am I wrong? Impious explained my setup in detail better than I ever could. He understands how a Competitor thinks. You either be the best on the street / competition or you go home. Winning at the largest audio comptition in the united states should be enough creditals for anyone. (except you I guess) NCSU ECE I apologise for the jump on your thread. You asked about kick pannels and tweets at the start and I just wanted to share my experience. I hope you get things worked out.

Wow M5, I wouldn't have an attitude if you would quit talking negative all the time. I do have a few questions for you though, Do you compete? Have you ever been to a World Finals event?? Have you ever been on stage with some of the best competitors in the world? Do you know what its like for your "under $4000.00" systen actually beat some of the best competitors in the business? Has a person on your team set a World Record number in spl competition? Can your system play notes under 25 htz? I can answer yes to all of these questions. Can you?

Denim, Robert Rayfield / TipsInc. is the person in charge of Linear Power / BluesCarAudio. His info is on my signature. Ray and Mike designed my front stage and scores GREAT in competition. send me a pm with your number and I'll give it to ray and tell you bout my rear speakers. I'm just not allowed to give out the info on the design yet.

My stage scored PERFECT in USACI World Finals M5 !!! IF that's not good enough for you than OH WELL. STOP CUSSING ABOUT EVERYTHING I SAY PLEASE. There would be ALOT of fiberglass work needed to install horns in that vehicle. He asked about kick pannels and I gave him a suggestion. Thats all.

Please keep in mind M5 that I am a competitor this year (truck broke or not). If I give off all my secrets to this truck. I might get my butt handed to me in competition. I would like to win a few more times. According to my scoresheet from last years world finals, My front stage was spot on the way it should be. That part will not be changed. I'm just trying to score better points on installation. My whole concept to this truck is to be very competitive with NO processors and minimal sound dampining. It feels very good to beat out those EXPENSIVE systems.

I agree with ya on the dash part. I use a fluffy towell during competition in the middle of the dash to "trap" the singer. I have my tweeters out of phase with my 6 1/2s. All of that part was worked out by Ray. My rear speakers will suprise you if set in my truck. Its not set up the way you think. I thought that sq_mgb explained that.

Oh yea, I think I'm gonna like this one. I used pvc in my enclosure too.

Please take a look at my build log. Your truck should be close to mine. I use A-pillars and kick pannels. I think you would be pleased with the set up I use. Ceck it out and let me know what you think. This setup in proven for Sound Quality. You can tell by the win status on my signature. ...

I found them ... These pics are my engine now. I said earlier that I'm getting more cables made. I'll post the finished product when I can. My water situation kinda put a halt to things. I want to put some hotrod stuff on it later. (if I can talk the wife out of the money)

Inpious, The guys the helped me out are Robert Rafield, Mike Flannagan, Eddie Hill, TJ Lacharite, and Jimmy Walker (thunder) helped me out on those nights. The shop better known as Ultimate Autosound / Tips inc.

Yea, we are going to build the kick pannels today (I hope). The will be done just like the other ones. I May try to relocate the E-Brake on the drivers side. It was too much of a headache last time.
