  1. Dont plan too much (big planning is my job LOL)

    I like easy going. Adventures pop up all the time anyways :)

    Maybe you can show me some secret corners of Vegas LOL.

    SO FAR it maybe for the 2010 CES show! Maybe I come already

    in Dezember so that the new year starts in the states for me...

    But I must see if everything works out first.

    (If you want, you can send me your contact datas on e mail)

  2. what a great travel log! glad you enjoyed your stay in the states :D

    (and your written english is much better than some american's lol)

    Thanks for the kind words about my english.

    If I would have more time there would be less errors.

    But I translate it in the speed of reading/retyping and

    every time I read it again now, I find mistakes bymyself. :)

    Maybe I correct it step by step, or maybe not.

    Hey Kentb, so I know where I stay next time when I am in Vegas LOL.

    You wanna be my host and my driver? (pocket money or food for shelter for granted ;) )

    Hi there,

    well, bc there was not much respond in my section

    what I unfortunately can fill just from time to time,

    I thought its better to post here in Off Topic.

    During the last weeks I finished my long expected

    and promised report of my ÜSA 2008 trip.

    It was from january to end of febuary, 8050 miles

    from West to East and it took 47 days.

    Its the first time I did it in english, and also BEFORE

    the german report. Its a kind of thank you all

    (but this is standing in the report also, so no need

    to repeat here lol).

    You may have to "adjust" your windows.

    600 pics included and 13mb big. Takes away some

    recources from your puter.

    But I recommend to read it in the long off season

    evenings :)

    After that I will do the german version.

    It was, as always, a lot of work and I hope you all

    enjoy it.

    Who knows when the next possibility for me

    will come to travel the states.

    But I work on it and count on you all, lol.

    Here ya go:

    part 1

    part 2

    Üüüühh!!!

    Michael :P

  4. Hi there,

    just want to talk a little about what I am doing right now.

    Have no real time to pust much. Sorry for that.

    Being busy for my sponsors (happy to have some to make my living out of it)

    with promotion and on the side going to competitions and work on the car.

    Some sound improvements, repairs (as you may know from my windshield problem)

    and so on. Now there are the "finals weeks" and for three weekends I am out

    to compete. Not really for the win, but for the fun and the best possible

    result without concentrating Hardcore on every single competition.

    Bc. I am doing Sound Quality AND different SPL Formats with different

    installation rules its really heavy. So I got 3rd Place on the AYA Sound Quality

    german finals last weekend with my TÜRANN. It was damn close to the

    2nd place and not far away from the 1st. Very acceptable for me when I consider

    that I have no Soundprocesser (EQ and time delay) and a car what does not even

    start when other SQ cars (what have just a few sound points more) come to their end.

    This weekend I have to go to the "SPL CLASSICS" Format, and next

    weekend there are the world finals, as some of you may know.

    I compete there in so much different compettiions that I lost oversight. :)

    dB Drag : German and World Finals (and regionals)

    dB Cup : German and World Finals

    Bass Race : German, regional and hopefully World

    dB Cup lite : German and World Finals

    Man, thats starting fees of about 550 Dollars btw. ...

    But then the quite time of the year comes.

    I try to complete my apartement here.

    Finishing the home cinemas and so on.

    New computers (for 3D modelling and HD editing)

    and making new plans for the next season bc

    I am still sponsored for 2009 and hope that I do

    my job so good that they want me longer than

    this contract goes.

    Thats why I am focussing on other, more important, things than

    SPL Records or competition wins. I had that enough

    in my life. Dont get me wrong, I still focus on BIG PERFORMANCE

    of my cars, but they are more Music cars than any specialists

    in SQ or SPL. For dB Drag I am at the moment at a

    stable 158,4 dB Peak and at Bass Race at around 157,6 + -.

    Together with the fine sound, its very ok. I still use about 9000

    Watts of power and 10 9.0s are sitting here unused, what does

    not please me very much. Maybe one day I will get the impedance

    for the subs what I need. Who knows and who cares :)

    Just want to tell and teach you all (of course some of you know already)

    that there are way more important things than records or titles.

    Maybe you can say that when you HAD them, but thats why I am telling

    you this, in case that youre hunting them hardly. Just take out

    the most possible fun for yourself and dont waste too much time

    in things what just a handfull of people recognize in the world.

    If its your goal, just go ahead. But believe me, it can be much

    more fun without the pressure of competing and you can be more

    successfull in life, or even in the competition circus, with a 2nd or 3rd

    placing. Its always on YOU, the PERSON, not a score...

    Ok, thats it for today.

    Have fun ! :)

  5. Hey, I get some PNs from time to time.

    But due to some problems I cannot answer them

    and there is no e mail in your messages.

    I need e mail contact bc I dont have time

    to scan all forums for messages.

    Please use my e mail account.

    Thanks.

    To "Kaba".

    Yes I remember our talk (but will have a hard time to remember

    your face :) ) I will be at ACR Kuppenheim next Saturday.

    Maybe you have time to come. But I have to work there.

    (Doing the dB Drag as Head Judge) so I dont know how much

    time I will have. Have to leave soon for a competition

    far away on Sunday morning...

  6. After reading 3 or 4 posts, I stopped.

    So I dont know what you figured out yet :)

    Indeed, the 50hz is correct when you ise

    standard AC meters, what have the best

    accuracy at this hz area.

    If you use True RMS and good meters

    (Fluke i.e.) you can use any frequency.

    Or if you use an oscilloscope.

    But it has nothing to do with Music range or so.

    It CAN be helpful also, but the main reason

    is the accuracy of the meters.

  7. Hi there.

    I just copied my text from the TermPro Forum to inform

    you about my successfull show...

    It was great to see all the international competitors there !

    Good that Stany (and friends) made it !

    Also the French guy (Luc) and Jan from Denmark,

    who had the farest trip. 850 km one way ! THUMBS up !

    Not to mention the austrian teams who had all

    about close to 800km also !

    Special thanks to the austrian Team GCL for

    sponsering the trophies and the help in the lanes.

    And all the helper, judges, visitors, competitors.

    Hope the negative things were not too much and the

    positive will last in all of your memories.

    This Mammut Üüüühh!!! was the biggest and best so far.

    With all your help folks !

    (And the support of ACR, my main sponsor)

    We had, with AYA SQ, dB Drag, dB Cup, Bass Race,

    SPL Classics, sit tight, around 250 competitors !

    And for the SPL people, EVERYBODY walked away with a trophy in their hands.

    I even had to get 16 more trophies bc they werent enough,

    lol, how emberassing hu?

    We estimate about 400 cars and 800-1000 visitors.

    Of course most people from the car audio scene.

    And maybe some "strangers" [smile]

    But these "strangers" become more and more !

    Competition is maybe the smallest part of it [smile]

    Johnnys BBQ was a success, again, I hope !

    His wife is very ill (heart bypass) and

    I feel honored that he and his crew managed

    that in that ungodly heat.

    Ok, I need some rest.

    Will take a while to catch up with my power.

    Very demanding job, also for my mum, without her,

    not possible !

    Here are some pics of a AYA SQ guy.

    As soon as I have some, I upload them on the galerie.

    http://woofa.abi05.info/treffen/mammut_ueh...7_26/index.html

    Thanks again to ya all.

    All the pain and stress and sweat was worth it ! [smile]

    If it will happen again, well, it depends.

    Yesterday evening chances were 0%. [smile]

    But after talking to some people, and with a

    new kind of planning, and some changes, it may

    happen again.

    But dont expect such massive trophies anymore...

    But, who knows...

    I will be highly dissappointed when your not coming !

    Just follow Winfield :)

    Have a safe Trip !

  9. First (before 2000) he had 5 15" JBL GTI1500 in the car (Still love these subs and own some)

    it is free Air, what was used a lot in the old days. Car was pretty loud, for that time, but never meant

    as boom car. It sounded clean and of course, was an eye catcher, if the eye stayed for a while

    and wasnt confused by the "standard" outside look of the car.

  10. His old car 1995-2007

    http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=jv2uOvspQxk

    His new ALPINE Mini

    http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=VlpijTcRYM0

    I know this guy since over ten years.

    He worked at RF and now at ALPINE.

    Did amazing work. Car looks ordinary on first,

    but then you will be fascinated.

    And remember, its almost 6 to 8 years ago when

    he did this install !

    Still hats off to Thomas Kirkpatrick :)

  11. Hi,

    without a name and an e mail address,

    this tells me almost nothing what to do now :)

    Just saying ur the one what asked me about a box

    recently, is not really enough :)

    I get tons of q´s like this, and honestly,

    with no bad feelings, I have to refuse a lot bc

    they are too special and I cannot give special

    tips without spending lots of time for every

    system. And of course no guarantee that I

    will have the ultimate solution in seconds for everything...

    I hope nobody is angry about that.

    Still I try to look over everything and give

    a short opinion, if time allows. Thats all I can do.

    Big sorry for that, but until theres nobody

    who is doing my work, for free, 18 hours a day,

    I have to spend the time bymyself :)...

    Ü

    MM :P

  12. Yeah, first the Hat Trick, than the Skirt Trick.

    But its a little harder to do. The girls should lift

    their butts a little higher, not all are willing to do

    that, you may know why :)

    But maybe I find some one day, or can finally

    put 4 times more power onto the subs. But I

    think then I will do the broken windshield Trick

    more often...(even if the windshield is amazingly

    stiff and quite at the moment).

    Maybe next weekend...

    (a german Ex Pornstar is expected there!)
