Trunk cars.

This is in response to the other thread that got locked about trunk cars. I will finish off this year in my crx and maybe start a trunk car next season. I say maybe because I don't know if I'll be competing next year. If I do though I really want to do another trunk build and silence all the haters about crx's and s10's are the only ones that can get loud. I took second at 2001 finals to another trunk car on team 420. Trunk cars can get loud too you just need to put in the work. A 160 is possible. It may not be easy but with what I know now I'm sure it can be done. Then what will the haters say, you guessed it "he's cheating". Just cuz they can't figure out how to do it.

Stand back kid I got this one.

well hats off to you bro i dont know how i know i have the right equipment to be able to pull a 150plus but i like to really listen to my car for daily. so i need to get a bass comp car to play with. and i will work hard on that car to get it as loud as it can go

I remember your Grand Am Rich. I was amazed, and still am with how loud you were able to get that thing. I'd understand if you don't compete next season, but I'd love to see you do another trunk car. Because I know if you're doing it, the thing is gonna be LOUD.

Good luck this year. You going to be at Steve's 300th by chance?

he must have a few good trick he need to tell me then.lol all the secrets man. why...lol

The more I think about it the more I want to do another trunk build and see how far I can take it. I think it'll be fun as well as challenging.

I'm going to try to make it to Steve's 300th nothing set in stone yet. My wife hasn't signed my permission slip yet.

haha

I don't know if you remember me at all, but I've got the black 02 Cavalier. Used to hang out with Lonnie at the shows way back when. If you do make it, I'll come up and reintroduce myself.

That a boy rich! You we still love to play with our civic when we get bored or have spair time (or the rex isnt running again)

Will that rex ever run again chipotle??? LOL

Why yall got to be gettin Turner all riled up, you know how much work it is to keep him focused on a rex. All he has talked about is building a trunk...You guys have done it now.....Trunk lovers be ware....yall done got him started.

well i will see just how much emprove ment i will make at the austin heatwave. i got a better amp and new song and i found out if i open my trunk its louder. so i will test just to see if that is right

I had problems keeping the spoiler on that one and all the stress cracks in the body. With todays technology and advances in audio equipment I can't imagine what it would sound like today.

So what are you saying. I know I have a short attention span.

SQ? What the hell is that?
You "think" it could be done?
You KNOW it WILL be done!!!!!

sound quilty i think i miss spell that last part.. lol

Kasey. Why must you think that anytime something is loud or going to be loud that it will not have sq ? I tried telling you in other threads that it doesn't matter in some cases that it will still have sq. It is all about what you know and how you apply it. Stop thinking one sided.

look at Tommy McKinnie "KOB" his is loud and and sounds great

THERE WAS A GUY DOWN HERE DOIN 153-154 ON THE TERMLAB WITH A GRAND AM A FEW YEARS AGO,BUT HE JUST VANISHED.I STILL HAVE HIS NUMBER SOMEWHERE.

well i not talking 142 matt i am talking the bass that will at 153 are 154 ask jeremieh his setup is a daily and i know i he wrote on a thead that his sounded like crap. so thats onle of the places i get that from and the other is my installer. i think you might be able to hit 150 and maybe keep the SQ sounding ok i personally dont know this cuz i havent been at this long eoungh.

well my buddy memphis yota is hittin a 155 with his setup and he listen to his on a daily basis its a daily driver and it sounds good as hell just got have the right componets and enough power to push them over the subs so u can hear the music

this is the only way i know how to put a pic.is on the avatar.it is a 62 impala 2 dd3500 18,s with composite cone painted white ported thru the rear deck.this will get stoopid loud.

have u metered it yet

it is very possible but i dont need to hear high at bass level 155. i would go diff to quick. i may try to rebuild my box later not at the moment.

let me buy a meter and then i may rebuild then ill be able to test

Kasey you obviously missed my point and am putting me and my score in this. I know what it takes to achive a 55 out of the trunk and have good sq. You are not following on what anyone says or myself. There are those out there that are doing well over a 55 on the mic and have good sq. Try to ask questions and learn rather then think you know.
