first secret, is have tons of money for the neccessary equipment. Second, be prepared and willing for the bass to rip apart your vehicle.

There are a couple guys that can bass race a 160 with a couple of 18's, but for the most part, we all have multiple woofers setups.

As you can see in my sig, I have alot of equipment to get me there, but what you dont see is the 3 months to build with several people to help out. The 18 sheets of MDF and a few sheets of Steel Wood.

Another thing to you dont wanna forget, is your vehicle suspension, your gonna spend some money there, i have spent about $600 so far and its still not to where I want it.

I wish you all the luck, and there better be a build log

1997 Astro

front:6 sets of T3 componets

Subs: 8 level 5 18"s (building 6th order BP)

Amps: 4 really big ones (totalling just shy of 50K)

Batts:

Alt: Ohio Generator

1996 Chevy Suburban

Sub amp: A fifth really big amp

Subwoofer: 2-15" DC Level 4 XL

Batts: C&D high rate--(x4)

There definitely will be a build log. I've already found a bag kit for my car that will hold the weight of the planned setup. I am a little worried about the chassis though. Money and equipment won't be a problem once I get back home. I don't expect the build to happen over night so if it takes a few months to get there, that's fine with me. :D

I've seen many instances of bass devastating vehicles. My MOJO wall did a good number on my doors, but it only bassraced a 151 before I tore it out so I'm planning on strengthening everything and rebuilding my doors to fare as well as possible before starting the actual enclosure.

I think my biggest problem so far has been trying to make it musical instead of straight numbers so I would build accordingly and not hit what I want. I'm pretty sure if I do hit my goal, it will no longer be a daily driver... We'll see though!

Need an install? Hit me up.

Thats what I figured. but I wonder if they'd actually be in one case? That would be sexy looking.

Alan Dante burped a 180.5 with one DD9918Z with 4 stetsom 7KD's with 15 batterys, of course that is an SPL only vehicle filled with concrete that cant even move under its own power.

And if you want a lot of power get the new Stetsom 18k2d's that are coming out soon, I have heard good things about them.

Trolls never learn............

All BS aside, If I see one more comment in here that is NOT about the pre-sale, I will start the vacations. And that includes the trolls feeding the trolls.

YOU THE ONE THAT SOUND LIKE A OGER AND HUMPBACK/TROLLS?
