We were in the local paper. This was back when CPR was first being taught in our schools. I had just been taught CPR a year prior to her heart attack. The paper did a story about us and how the schools provided the training. I thought it was BS when I was taking the class. We were all just busting each others chops about sucking face with rubber dolls lol. Little did I know I would actually use the training later. Funny thing was, it was my first time in a newspaper and they gave me and my bro the wrong last name. They used my grandparents last name instead of ours. I think my Mom still has the article in her house somewhere.

Guess I was one of the 1 out of 200. Performed it on my Grandmother way back when. I was 16 when she had a massive heart attack in our back yard. Stopped breathing, no pulse, nothing. She was just staring at the sky with her eyes open. My brother and I did CPR on her for several minutes while we waited for the ambulance. Was probably only 5-8 minutes but seemed like forever. She lived for another 15 years. Long enough to see my kids born. It may not be 100% but sometimes it does make a difference. Back then it was 5-1, I remember it changing to 10-1 and now I guess were up to 30-2.

An old 8 track is about the size of a hard disk drive. Tens of thousands of songs vs. 8-12 on an old 8 track. It is amazing. My kids still cant believe we didnt have a VCR when I was a kid. We didn't have a VCR until I was 19 -20. Technology moves very fast indeed.

Old by age but young at heart lol. My Wife keeps bustin my chops about doing childish stuff like putting big ass systems in our vehicles. After my truck is done im starting on the Camaro

I probably had 50 of them at one time. Columbia House Music Club FTW. I used to read that catalog every month from front to back hoping for a gem to get listed for sale.

I wanted one of those so bad when I was in middle school, then cassette players came out lol.

My first piece of home audio equipment when I was a teenager was an 8 track player. No reverse but had a big plunger on top to skip to the next track. High tech there. I remember listening to Aerosmith, Kiss and Parlament Funkadelic all the time on it.

Found this add on Craigslist from my home town. WTF is an "a track" ? Illiteracy has over run our little town. A Tracks

That sub will handle anywhere from 2000 - 3000 watts easily. I put one in my Sons car and run it at 3000 watts daily. Tuning should be around 38-40hz with 16 sq inches of port per cube and in a box around 4 cubes net. And yes it will get loud. Our setup is in a trunk firing forward and we did a 145.1 on a Termlab meter. You can wire it 4ohm, 1ohm or .25ohm.

Well Brian is still waiting for the mechanic to get his used transmission and install it in the Mazda. Its still going with only 3rd gear and no reverse. So the Mojo machine may or may not make it. I will take that vote sir and beg for a few more

Im gonna try. As soon as my ring terminals and fuses show up I can finish wiring in my rear batteries. I have the box done and will slide that in once the batteries are wired. Then I just need my amps to get here from RD so I can button things up and get some beats back in the truck. Do I get to apply to TDH when I get my shit in order?

Is Rob going bigger or sticking with 2 12's? Beefier 12's maybe. I know its getting more POWER.

I cant remember if we did a 162.3 or a 163.2.........getting old sucks. I think it has a lot to do with the port and its length. Ours was all the way back 16". If I remember right yours is a little shallower and you have the flare at the opening. I was surprised we did so well in port wars. We held first place thru 6-7 runs then another car beat us, not sure which, then the DD Beast killed us. I think we placed 3rd in the port wars at Crankin Christmas. I will be at the next show for sure. Dont know if it will be with one 15 with half of my port blocked or with 2 15's. Still need a recone for my blown sub. With 1 15" I will strap my amps and see what 6000 - 7000 watts will do to an AQ HDC3. If I get both of em running you will get a little competition in 2 - 15's/18's next show.

Thats with the mic in the port. We did the 145.1 with 1 15" during the comp and I believe we pulled a 163 in box battle.

DD Beast

Ready for paint. Well almost. Did a little extra work and put one of the batteries on the other side to match the drivers side. Give you some exposure from both sides.
