Kudos on your new venture.
I dunno though, man. The best numbers I've ever seen pulled at any SQ circuit were always in the less is more type range. As in 1 sub, 1 amp, etc. installed in smaller cars inside...
Good luck. Anxious to see what you come up with.
Well since it is a daily driver I don't expect to be going to world finals or anything, although it would be awesome to go back again as more than a spectator. Gary Biggs has a regal and and has one both sq comps and spl comps, so maybe I can pull it off, haha. But then again I am no Gary Biggs, and I dont have room for an 8" sub in the glove box, 2 Huge 15's in the trunk, with a fully glassed interior.
but it would be fun to tryQuote:

go the William Burton way and make everything out of glass (I got to help on his regal at one point that thing was sweet)
backwhen i had my old car i had a 4 way cig lighter hidden under my dash and i had tht hard wired to an acc. block in the fuse panel so when i turned the car on the rader and neons came on...pretty nice and no wires showing.Quote:

A plug is just more to hide, especially a 4 way plug, and if you are going to all that trouble to hard wire it to a fuse block why not just get rid of it altogether. Everybody has their own way of doing things, especially me, but it just makes sense to get rid of the bulky plugs.Quote:

lookin good
I didn't forget about this guys! Sorry I haven't updated it lately. I have been halla busy w/ work and upholstery jobs!
Although some things have changed since my last post. I have been called out by another local best buy installer from another store, and have to be judged by some slightly modified iasca rules.
The rules:
1)Must be best buy product, down to the last piece of wire on the audio system.
2)Must be paid for out of installer's own pocket, no corporate help, only dealer pricing.
3) judged on: sound staging, spl output (2 runs each of legal and outlaw class rules), also judged on neatness, most custom, and best sounding to average customer. (Number 3 will be judged by 5 different customers 2 past customers from each store, 1 customer randomly picked by the judge from iasca.
I can't post pics yet, because he know I frequent this forum and this thread is what made him call me up and challenge my store's install bay.
Also, this is a friendly challenge, something to help raise morale in the department of both stores, so no bad blood or anything.
let us know when you win
