Eric Alexander's Record Setting Driveby Run!


Recommended Posts

Well, since nobody else posted these vids up on this forum, I thought I would do the honor. :lol:

These are vids of team livewire-eric's astro van at 2007 MECA finals doing his driveby SPL runs.

For those of you who don't know, driveby is a 30 second average of music with the termlab 6 feet away from the car!

Here's his first run:

Now since that score was so absurdly ridiculous (it beat tommy (king of bass) mckinnies driveby record score by 3.5 db!!), eric thought that he would do another run just to prove that it wasn't a fluke. Here is the 2nd run.

on that 2nd run you see people going nuts right at the end. Well, thats because he broke his windshield during the run! Impressive to say the least. Not too many people can break a windshield with a door or window open. It takes an insane amount of pressure.

The crazy thing about this setup is that it was only 12 12's and 6 crunch 3000d's!! Here's the pics of it that I took at MECA finals.

The destruction caused by his 2nd driveby run

Now here comes the bad with the good. :( When driving the van home back to ohio from finals (which was in nashville), the van caught fire in the rear and destroyed nearly every piece of equipment and made the van a total loss. :( Eric was devastated. But amazingly a bunch of competitors grouped together and raised money to buy eric a new van and new equipment to replace what he had lost!! Eric has been such a great competitor and friend and nobody wanted to see his competition career come to an end like this.

Here's a link to the thread on termpro where this whole thing was orchestrated and contains pics/vids of eric's reaction since it was a surprise to him.

Hopefully everyone enjoys the videos! I could have posted this topic in the general section since it contains a lot of info, but I wasn't sure if people wanted it there. If a mod feels that this thread is more important and wants to move it to general audio, I won't complain. :D

138 and some change, they say he would have pulled a 140 out of it but the windshield didn't hold up. Eric is a great guy, cant wait to see his new build and see what kinda of crazy ass numbers he can get when everything is dialed in.
