[Anyone like body building?]

That's pretty cool! Ronnie looks to be down in size quite a bit, but he's retired iirc

I had a chance to meet Dorian Yates, Shawn Ray and Gunter Shlierkamph (sp?) a few weeks ago...acutally hung out for a while with Gunter bullshitting and jocking around, he said he might come back t competing next year

[2xSA12 + SAZ2500D = 149.4 db's]

There was a regional comp this weekend and one of the Team Sundown guys was there to take the first place trophy

car: Opel Astra OPC

subs: 2x SA12's d2

amp: SAZ2500D

72Ah lead-acid under the hood and a Stinger 2150 in the back

149.4 at the comp dbrag legal sealed on the TL

here's a vid testing the system a few hours prior to the comp:

pics are a few and blurry...hoping to get more info on this later

[Just some old BS I found..]

I don't see how that's legal to destroy someone property.

once "confiscated" it's not really someone's property.... now if they said "siezed" or "impounded" that would be an issue... somebody correct me if I'm wrong on that

[SMT Russia 2010 season Finals]

Hey, guys just wanted to update everyone on the results from a comp we had this weekend - this is SMT Russia http://www.smtrussia.ru/ a competition circuit ran by me and fellow car audio enthusiasts. It's both SQ and SPL with 5 SQ classes (based on cost of equipment used) and 4 SPL classes (based on cone area and placement - burps are sealed db drag style on the TL). As you can tell Sundown Audio Russia is one of the sponsors, plus alot of the competitors are members of Team Sundown Russia.

here are the results of the Team Sundown guys:

Class 1: (this is basically your IASCA 1-160, so single 12's, two 10's or 3 8's, one amp per sub, all equipment has to be in the cargo are, under the window line, up to two bats in the back)

First place - 2 SA10's on a DD M4a - 149.5 (I'll try to find a pic of the setup later)

Third place - SA8 on a SAZ3500, yep a single 8 - 143

Fourth place - 2 SA10's + SAZ2500D - 142.8

Class - 2 (this is pretty much the same as above but upto one 18 with no amp limits and more bats allowed)

First Place - Sundown z15 v2 + SAZ4500D - 147.6

Second place - Sundown z18 v2 + RF T2001bd - 145.2

Class - 3 is pretty much advanced no-wall with a limit on cone area

First Place - comrade Drugban with his Izh Oda http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/87226-another-156-from-team-sundown-russia/ - 156.2 (this is currently the loudest car in Moscow as far as scores in competition go)

Third place - again D Style Audio http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/82090-mitsubishi-pajero-teamsundown-russia/ - 151.3

Extreme - this is pretty much all the walls, extreme rides, etc.... we don't really have any extreme vehicles coming to compete yet, so...

Second place - http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/87165-sundown-russia-15639-sealed-tl-score/ - 156.7

Third Place - http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/89065-8xsa12s-in-a-nissan-pathfinder/ - 152

Some of the guys also wanted to make some runs metering on music - http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/91176-1573-on-music/

[Sundown Audio on TV]

I heard "Sundown Audio" at ~6 minutes !

this is where the host asks about what kinda sub is in the car and Oleg responds that it's Sundown Audio, a new brand that came to the Russian market this year and has been doing very well in competitions. He also says that he is extremely satisfied with his sub choice

[Sundown Audio on TV]

Fellow Team Sundown Russia member - Oleg Turganov get some airtime with [PRO]Rides - a tv-show about cars and the aftermarket scene. That is his Subaru Forrester Turbo with the SA12 hiding under the Soundstream grille... he also helped out on the Mitsu groundpounder with 4 SA12's on 3k - that is still a build in progress, but already quite a show stopper as can be seen in the second part of the feature

[2008 and up chevy malibu ltz]

I read this and thought of this:

yeah, srt10's can be a handfull - 500+ hp, manual, rwd in a pickup + getting stoopid on a dusty road = youtube hit

[2008 and up chevy malibu ltz]

thats funny. you are right on the money with it.  lol I have both the 09 malibu iwth the four cylinder and a fullsize chevy truck

I know, right?   with all the stuff that's easily available in the US, the malibu is just a nice 'get-your-ass-across-town-be-reliable-get-good-milage' kinda ride.... mid-size sedan and front-wheel drive are just not made for performance. I bet the interior was made to look good in brochure photos LOL - people get a boner over the looks, walk into a dealership, go for a testdrive and before you know it, it's too late to run from the textured soft-look panels made by FisherPrice....  Still, the outside is solid - nicely proportioned and doesn't really have any angles where it looks bad

Man, the older chevy trucks are where it's at too, wish I could get an older C\K, Silverado or Tahoe here in Russia that isn't all rusted out

[2008 and up chevy malibu ltz]

I rented a new bodystyle malibu a few days ago in Cancun ( they didn't have a suburban or the hummer available that particular day, so decided to try the malibu out)....honestly don't know what the engine was - it was an auto, had dual exhaust and some 18" rims - looked pretty nice outside imo... for what it's worth felt like 180hp or so.... the interior is tacky and cheap even with the leather, big turn off if I ever wished to buy one....  the tranny downshifts pretty fast and the engine has some guts from 2 to 4k

not something I would consider for performance though.... get it with a base engine, base enterior, throw 20's or 22's on it and put a system in - cruze, don't race

get a v8 fullsize pickup, cheap, reliable, easy to work on and can burn some rubber in the right hands..... Hemi powered single cab Rams are the shit 

[2 Sundown Sa 12s = 153.0db!!]

Im thinkin about getting another set of sa12s and putting the spl coils on them,  will the sae 1200 go into protect on a .5 ohm burp?  I know its not made to do it daily.

we burped ours at 0.33 without any issues ....not gonna say what we did for daily
