Icecream-Man Suburban

Recommended Posts

To start off, im fairly new to SSA but not new to the game. I havent built a stereo system in over 15 years and decided to put something together. I currently run a competition CB Suburban (Yes people still talk on CB's and its somewhat underground and very competitive). I bring alot of experience over to the stereo world with me because the charging systems and wiring are the same and require miltiple alternators and batteries to deal with voltage drop. With that being said... the stereo game is way different than it was in the 80's and 90's! So i decided to turn one of my CB Suburbans into a starter SPL Burban. I am running 2 Leece Neville alts (320 and 220) The 220 is on the 12v side running the Sundown 100.4 and the 320 is on the DC 5k and is regulated with an external voltage regulator (Fatboy) on six 8 volt golf batteries with adjustable voltage from 16 volts all the way past 21 volts. Im running Polk MM components in the front and RF components in the rear doors and Kappas in the Back. Im also have four DC M2 XL-15's with the box being made by Darry Bowen (a local here in Houston Tx). Im gonna eventually put more amp to the 15's (its barely moving them right now) but just starting off for now. Derek and Allen were involved in the tuning at Wobbly Woofers and i have the first video that im gonna try to post up the link (im not to familier with posting on the forum yet), so if i mess it up...the video is on Youtube, its named Icecream-Mans Suburban. I plan on putting up more videos in the future to show the charging system and all. Thanks and i hope yall like my start.

4500 watts 75 feet in the air means your dropping a big maul!

I can reach Alaska. And on clear nights I can hear a little Russian. I'm in south east Louisiana.

I only get in it late at night. My closesst neighbor is about a mile away and it disrupts his direct Tv reception. It'll make the fluorescent bulbs in the house glow a little too.
