PortSideAudio Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Hey guys, I haven't been on here in a while. But anyway. I decided I'm going to finally bit the bullet and stop messing around in my tiny ass corolla and get a dedicated comp car. Right now I'm looking at a 1988 4runner. Just to start out with I want to run two 18in Fi BL SPL subs on a Q1-2200. I don't know what I'm doing for the mids and highs yet. What do you guys think? 2002 Toyota Corolla Pioneer DEH-80PRS Soundqubed Q1-2200d Soundqubed HDC3.118 Soundqubed Q4-120 Alpine SPR-60 Alpine SPR-60C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afrakes Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 If you are going to buy this just for audio I would look into a full size rig so you have the space to do with as you please. Something like a sequoia or a Tahoe Vehicle: 2014 GMC Sierra 2500HD WT Head Unit: Pioneer DEH- Mids/Highs: Focal Integration ISC 165’s (front) Subs/Amps: TBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Bassick - Kimo Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 When selecting a dedicated competition vehicle there are some factors to consider. First and foremost is vehicle availability now if this is your first dedicated vehicle you normally start with what is available to you. However, I have gone out and specificially purchased vehicles to dedicate them for competition and competed in my daily as well. Only advantage to dedicated vehicles is they can sit in between builds in pieces. Second is deciding the organization, format and class you want to focus on. This can also be first in some peoples cases. For example if I was to compete in an SPL class for dB Drag class I would look into a minivan for most Super Street classes but, if it was MECA I would think of mini truck. Third, a dedicated vehicle normally is never ever going to be finished. So go into this build with the idea you may change things out eventually. I know with my s10 it went through 2 12s, 2 15s 1 18 to 4 15s 4 10s and so on. Fourth, is it going to be a trailer queen to shows or are you going to drive. I've done both and as cool as it is to tow a vehicle and show up with it, it sucks on gas. Driving it to shows will always be way more economical so keep that in mind. GOOD LUCK MAN!!!!!!

alaskanzx5 Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Another thing to consider I'd what size and how many alts can be put on. As you upgrade you will need more alt. I personally think 6-8k min for a dedicated comp vehicle. Hell 10-15k would be somewhere around the final goal. You need to figure out about how much power your going to eventually upgrade to and make sure the vehicle has the room for asked and batts to support that final goal. t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.
