I think this does sum it all up. And run what you brung and hope you brung enoung.

dont just build that poop once either, build it a million times, well i might andd that before you rebuild it, first tune the hell out of it till you can get no more, then do just that a million more times, ohh and keep a notebook so you can remember what you built, you cant just do like timmay does either and draw your design with a stick in the dirt, cause then when it rains you have to start all over again

chad ya need any pvc befor i come to omaha sunday its all free endless supply of 6''8''and12'' cant find the 10'' yet but i havnt looked to hard yet

i like to hide lots of things under and inside my boxs, beer, bongs, dirty mags, my porno movies, rubbers, guns, a 12 pack, bills dildo, but never an amp.

i will tell you this though, my car is open at every show for people to look at etc i dont have anything to hide, i dont mind people seeing my setup i think it for the betterment (is that a word) of the sport, if you can build it louder go for it, advance the design and make it louder. i think thats what all the euros have over us in drag, they share there ideas, not just a better car

I agree with this to a point...I think you are right, this would heilp USACI as a whole get louder but I alsoI don't see a problem with someone wanting to keep a "cutting edge" design a secret until finals and then show it after competing. That would inspire new ideas.

I mean how long have people been using the "classic crx box" 4 subs up ports back? Then finally the loud & clear guys tried the 6 12 box and found it to work.

I do think that people would be more willing to share ideas openly if they felt it was appreciated and got some thanks and respect in return. That's the difference between us and drag I think. We are more selfish.

Wasnt brad Figard the first one to try the 6 sub box and make it work?

And by no means trying to steal anything from L & C.

no i dont need any pvc right now that i can think of, i got some 10", but not as much as i need, and i got about 9 ft of 8", so i'm good to go for now, well except the 10"

brad did quite well with his design yes and thats the design i started off with explaining to bruce about didnt work in 1 car but did quite well in another one.

the crx does make a differance for sure but we were on limited power as to where brad was on alot of power he had some great batts, and amps for 12v applications so yes the design was based off of his, and ill give him a ton of credit for allowing us to walk by his car and look at it

Mr. Firgard is a smart man......thats for sure

UM YEA u can say that

I like how he is known for setting the bar with non conventional installs, he doesnt just use the same box people know is loud, he goes off the wall and does his own thing.

Also thanks for clarifyin things Jeff

Well to clarify, the loud and clear design to 6 12s was built prior to us seeing Brads box, we found it amusing at that yr at finals to see someone with virtually the same design. He was the first yes to bring it to a show and use it. And have perfected it to the point that he was willing to do so. In our case the box was not yet where it needed to be in are minds to bring out so we did not.

other notable differences Brad was 6 10s we had 6 12s similar is theory though. Again this is to no way take away from Brad or his many many astounding accomplishments. Just a fact of the matter.
