SB vehicle types?

Well, after reading through the threads on the forum I have noticed some people mentioning standard cab trucks as part of the streetbeat crowd.

Now I know CRX's dominated streetbeat (who would've guessed? ), which I knew was only a matter of time, but this standard cab truck thing has me interested.

Did these trucks have cut throughs or equipment strictly in the cab? What scores did they do? Anybody have pics?


Man, I thought that streetbeat was designed as a more beginner oriented class. I guess I was wrong....

have to be behind the b piller. and anything else goes. crxs arnt magic. takes a while to get them loud. like anyting else. i didnt see any standard truck at finals. but i wasnt looking that hard.

So then people were just talking about walled off trucks? I don't see how thats any different than vans or anything else. Maybe just cabin size.

Obviously crx's aren't "magic" but any person who has been competing for more than 30 minutes knows they have an advantage over most other types of vehicles when it comes to competition, especially outlaw and legal metering. Even more so in small cone area classes.

Anybody who says otherwise is most likely a CRX owner.

And on a side note, if you don't have a cut through then you don't have to follow the b-pillar rule.

crx's suck....yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

crx's are stupid!

this is true. i would like to see someone build a huge box in a reg cab truck and do a huge number.

Well, I have a regular cab s-10 and have done streetbeat.

I've gotten 2 L7 10's up to a mid 152 with one zx2500, but I've hit a roadblock getting this thing above a 154 outlaw with any type of setup and power. It's hard to fit equipment in there and have a proper enclosure.

If I had the money to invest in a pure streetbeat setup I'm sure I could get up to a 154 in SB1, but that isn't going to be enough anymore from the SB1 final scores I've seen.

Unfortunately I have to worry about MECA and bassrace as well, so building a pure SB1 setup is pretty much out of the question.

what bassrace class do you do? i want to try bassrace but i couldnt time it out very good. be to tempting to do balls out.

I run one DD 9510 and the zx2500 in 139.9

Another downfall of having a regular cab is that I lose ~7 dB going from outlaw in the kick to sealed on the dash.

It'll bassrace a 144-145 sealed up and a 149-150 outlaw with the single 10". Too bad bassrace can't be ran outlaw. haha.

damn. very nice scores for the stuff you use. dont know what my rex does on the dash in a sb run. iam going to try some in 08.

9510 and the zx


2 L7 10's and the zx (streetbeat)

nice score for a reg cab 40hz thats low

I can't get it to peak past 45 hz.

The 9510 peaked at 40 hz when it was new, but eventually the note raised back up to 43-44 hz.

I've even tried little fart boxes and STILL wouldn't go past 45 hz. It likes low tuned and slightly larger than normal boxes, so I don't fight it.

Sounds killer on music. A little peaky (only plays 40-46 hz really), but still wangs on most music.

damn

Every competition setup I've had in there has peaked in the same range.

Single 8" (149.3)
Single 10" (151.2)
Single 12" (152.0)
Single 15" (154.3)
Pair of 10's (153ish)


I got a few more setups to try for MECA, but so far the 15" has been the loudest all around which kind of screws me for streetbeat since I'd like to have one setup for EVERYTHING.

what song was that?

wasnt a tone bet on that!

its hard to bulid for everything I went to carl casper last year and the head rest stuff for meca is hard my brother does it but I dont think its for me good luck to ya in usaci

Lil Jon-Push that.

Pretty much the most popular 30 second average song out there.

MECA is easy if you know the right setup to build.

CRX's won S2, S3, and S4 this year at finals. Just goes to show that even with the limitations put on CRX's in MECA (26" rule, no panel removal in street, etc.) they can still be competitive. Though other vehicles were right on their tails (SUV's, hatches, etc.)

That's the one thing I like about MECA, you see EVERY type of vehicle compete at finals. Trucks, suv's, trunk cars, hatches, crx's, everything. Sure they may not be as loud as some cars, but I think headrest metering has definitely leveled the playing field for most.

I just wish they would allow single 15's in SB1, that would make my life a whole lot easier. Afterall, 2 square 10's is more cone area than a single 15" anyways.

I think you should come back to carl casper. I actually competed against you in M1 if you don't remember. I had the blue regular cab s-10. Your brother did very well this year in MECA. Me and him had some long phone conversations the few weeks before finals.

I might do that it was a nice show. and I do recall how bad you handed me my azz

That was the weak score too.

I can give you some pointers for MECA if you want. Though I'm sure your brother could help you out as well.

i ran sb2 the first year of street beat with a 99 s10 single cab with 2 12 in alpines and a mark antony 2500x and did mid 140s on a stock alternator. But since then i have kinda got away from the competition and finshed the motor swap and paint work. I may make a couple appearences this coming year with a single 12 in the truck and some more power.

Judging by your setup at finals you should be doing 157+ on the dash If not start messing with those ports and you'll be well over that mark soon.
