    Well yea theres a few good established shops here in Iowa, AutoToyz in Coralville is nice, but its going to be hard just to jump in the game and compete with the other ones. But anout the rich bastards, In Iowa if there rich most of them are going to careless about systems and all that lol. Anyway good luck...

    x2 on that bro, i live in central Iowa, and right around the corner from elite. I think right now in central you could not open a show and have it do well. True ice and elite are doing well but what about music on wheels, car tunes, audio king (Huge store when it was around) go in those shops on a Wednesday and see how hopping there business is.... I would say that since you already have the mower bro go out there and bust your ass, with the money you make from mowing get yourself a truck and plow and plow in the winter and keep the money rolling in and keep the car auido a passion/hobbie .As far as car audio in central Iowa right now, i think if you were to open a shop it would be domed... not saying this to get ya down, cause i myself have wanted to open a shop out here for a long time, but as it stands right now, i just dont think your shop would last long.

    Good luck with whatever you deside bro

  2. i run a single FI btl 18 and love it, i used to be a 10 guy for the longest and thought that and 18 would just be sloppy. Well FI proved me wrong lol. My 18 is fast deep and low and i love it.

    As far as drawbacks as it was stated they are big, for some that's a problem but for myself i have an astro van and plenty of room to play. SPL numbers are always hard to tell for any car because there is lots of different things that depend on that, but with the right 18 and power you could more then likely be able to get those numbers if you try test and tune, but again sometimes that's not always so easy.

    Good luck keep us posted!

  3. street b world record is currently 157.8. Don't let the name fool you street on a national level is just as expensive as most of the other db drag classes. There is a big debate going on right now in drag about what to do about street classes, because the price has gotten out of hand.

    But if you are just looking for fun and local competition you should be able to do well... but on a national level its a different story

  4. i would say first step would be figure out what kind of money you have to put into this sport. Then take your money buy the best equipment that your money can buy, then pick a organization and a class that you want to run. Build your setup take it to a show and have fun, once you have gone to enough shows you will see what it takes to win. Once you have your equipment you can always better your setup by testing and tuning and getting the most out of your setup. Try and find a local team in your area, most teams are more then willing to lend a hand. Most important this is to have fun, cause that's what this is all about :D

  5. you cant do big things in your whip if you are scared to get jacked..... if its going to happen its going to happen. All you can do is have a good alarm and a 45 under the pillow, and i think Memphis is got that covered :D

    Memphis bro you got big balls pimp'n that tv is massive, cant wait to see the install, are you at all worried about flex on the tv with your setup? Or is this mostly a show vehicle? Either way bro it is going to be sick!

  6. things that help with spl....

    build tune build tune build tune build tune then tune again, more power the better. If you have not, do the big three. More runs of power wire the better, helps with resistance. Try higher tuning as stated above. Find the fresh air vents in your car and seal them up. Sound deadener does not always help with yielding a higher spl in some cases it can hurt your spl. The most important thing is to find out what your car likes, and then start adding little things here and there. Get yourself a TL or find someone that has one, cause you will need it to find out exactly what kind of gains you are seeing.

  7. lots of folk music like widespread panic, tom petty, bob Dylan, Greg Brown, jam bands like string cheese incident, phish, blues i really like Mississippi blues or delta blues, i like swing music, bluegrass and really enjoy big band as well... i have and will always have an appreciation for all types of music, could never see how people could hate other types of music, its all really about the same thing, a release from the everyday life to describe a story of feeling, its just the way its delivered.
