I'm thinking about getting an SUV and doing 4 G512 in it on a GT-24 amp running it at 1ohm stereo. Then we will do SPL Chris Carr 2006 Grandprix The Stereo Clarion MAX675Vd, 160Gig iPod Coming soon...

carraudio Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Posted July 22, 2008 SO a little bit more about me what I have done and where I'm going... I did my first SPL comp back in 2000 with a 15" TREO SS, MTX 225HO and a PG bass cube. I did alright with that hitting a 141 my first time out. Then I went to a 10" SS with a Small MMATS amp and PG BC. Then I started moving around. Texas, mississippi. then to England and now in Albuquerque. So it has been hard to go to comps when you are always o the move so I gove it up. And now that I'm here I have found that no one really does comps here because of all the gang drama (so I have been told) there is one every year I enter just to see what I will hit. Last year I blew my sub about 5 sec into my run it was my first comp in years. It was a last min thing I knew I wasn't going to will only running my little GT-22. So I know there are other bigger and badder subs and amps out ther but we carry Boston at the sho and I wanted a great sounding system not a super hard hitting system. Sorry I was bored... lol So here is how the car started its life... 18" rims... Dropped 2" on rouch springs and KYB struts THis is some of my first glass work. Beleive it or not I learned by watching a DVD and asking questions... ... Chris Carr 2006 Grandprix The Stereo Clarion MAX675Vd, 160Gig iPod Coming soon...
