local show this friday

Well I have most of my system in right now. Had to send my planar mid ranges back to good ol Parts Express so slapped together two little boxes with some quart 3 1/2's to play the mids in my system. Also blew my Fosgate 500a2 and swapped in an Orion 900.2 my boy was going to use (I bought him a refurbed SAE1000d from Db-r) So its been some ups and downs. I am running a Sundown SAZ1500D on a TC Sounds TC3000 15 DVC in a 3 1/2 cubic foot box @ 40 hertz. Here is the amp rack as I got it fitted in my car. Just for the record, am running a full active system with 8's in the door, my missing planar midranges and planar tweeters. Hope to do Sundown justice.

If you don't mind me asking... What brand RCAs do you have plugged into the H701?

Forgot to mention it is just a local "Bass Wars" type of event.

No prob!! Knukonceptz. They were on sale as memory serves. I liked the way they looked. Have had good results with them. Three are 1 meter triple shielded yada yada blah blah blah, and the one going to the now missing Fosgate is a two meter lower line. My Sundown was supposed to be there but just did not have the room. I still need to build the cover for the rack but I travel for work and just can't seem to find time.

right on... I like the look as well... I noticed the "disconnect" in terms of RCA connector types at the fosgate amp, but figured you were still under construction, so it wouldn't serve any purpose to bring it up (other than to sound like a total donkey by trying to make myself look like I'm all attentive to detail and stuff... LOL)

Anyhow, thanks. And nice choice, aesthetically speaking.

You gonna post pics of the finished product once you get 'er done?

Dave... Mr. Brooks... feel free to comment any time. I have been following your truck for quite awhile. Almost got to see it last year when I passed through Georgia at the IASCA finals. Scott was going to get me in because I was looking at the HAT model of speakers and wanted to listen to them. Unfortunately, I passed through on the Monday after finals...

Anyway, I will post when I get it all done. My sub box is a monster and fills up my trunk. I just got it painted tonight after bondoing the screwholes and joints. I love truck bedliner. As for the differing RCA ends... yeah that explains it. Never figured on competing really so wasn't concerned about everything being the same and matching. But this local thing came up and my wife who is a crazy bass head and loves what the Sundown/TC combo produces wanted me to do it. MY WIFE!!! Can you all believe it?

Well things went well at the show. Also this is the show where 2000LaDe took the overall. I scored a 143.5 and took 4th in my class missing third by .3 Db. The first place title in my class went to a Team Sundown member though so all is well in the world. Its my first competition in oh..... 17 years or so. A lot has changed. It was just, which one is louder. No real class differentiation other than number and size of woofers. It gave me something to try for next year. Most likely a burp box. Mine is tuned to 30 hertz. Should have kept the one tuned to 40. It had a higher bump in efficiency. I am happy that it went well.

Congrats Bro!

Gotta like knowing that you can still hang with the young'uns after 17 years... LOL

I went to a local show yesterday as well... we weren't at the same show and didn't know it were we?

Mine was in Cornelia Georgia. Single point IASCA event.

Naw, the event I went to was in Danville Illinois. And yeah, it was nice to hang. For a strickly SPL event, I see area's I need to improve on. Especially a battery. Stock electrical and stock battery are just not cutting it. I am planning on getting with Chad from DIYMA and metering the overall sound Q of my car. Once I get that squared away, I may just try a SQ event. I am sure something is going on near me. I live in between Chicago, Indy, and Saint Louis. Of course I need to get my planars back and a new midbass amp (don't ask. Its the second one I have lost.) .

And thanks for the Positive Reinforcement!!
