AlpineAndy's SQ Solara

[AlpineAndy 3]

Well I have been working on my car for about 2 weeks now and figured I should post up some pics of the build. The car is being built to compete in MECA's amatuer street SQ class. The car is not 100% done yet, it just needs to be made pretty and then I am set, but that won't happen before the comp. at Casper Saturday. Before I begin I want to say thank you to Mark at SSA (for one of the best sounding subs that I have ever heard), Jacob at Sundown (for some very well built amps), all of my buddies at SoundCheck (Goddie, Cooper, RP, Hank, and Ryan), and my team mates Marshall and Chris.

Equipment being used is in my sig.

Here are the pics in order (somewhat)

UPDATE:

Well I took the car to the Carl Casper MECA comp. yesterday for its first show of the year. I competed in the Amateur Street SQ class. Only judged on a 70 point scale instead of the 100 point scale. The car managed to score a 51.7 average without the EQ and T/A. It's nice to know that I have lots of room to grow, plus I still need to pretty up the install.

No it will all be covered with beauty panels.

Yea but mine is running at 4ohms, I am either going to add another Icon 10" or switch to an Icon 15" or Xcon 18". I dont need it but I am still a bit of a bass head and like to have something to rockout with when I am not competeing, I am already missing a ported box.

I would love to hear your setup, mine sounds great and I only have one 10". Your car is what has inspired me to get mine done in this cold Indiana weather.

Sometimes displaying the vains of your install looks nicer than covering them up.

51.7 out of 70 for your first show is pretty good.

Good score! I think it is at least........... idk about SQ.

What size power wire is that going into the 3000?

It's only 4 but I am running the amp at 4ohm and no gain so I think it will be ok

Yea I plan on goin to all of the shows in E-town and all of the IL and IN ones.

My score could have been better , I lost one point just because my relay clicks when it comes on. I hope to be scoreing 56/57s by the end of the season.
