Mark LaFountain Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Posting this for my brother. So my name is Josh LaFountain, and I drive 100% stock. Crazy I know, but after spending 4 years burping competition SPL setups in a Ranger, I had to take a leave from the hobby for college (it isn't cheap) but now I'm back. I drive a 100% stock 2007 Chevy Silverado V8 4dr. and in a few weeks I'll be driving from Baton Rouge, LA to Phoenix (1496 miles!) where me and my brother Mark with do a complete audio overhaul. The idea is to build a ground pounder from scratch, going big the first time (#1 piece of advice I can offer to people starting the hobby). This will not be for burping one tone, or for pure spl competition. It's for everyday ground pounding, and maybe I'll compete in some street beat or something. I've got 2 18" XCON D1's on order, and when I get to Phoenix, we'll get a head unit, amp, battery, wire, everything. We'll build the box (and this time it should look good since all my old boxes were for burping) and install everything while I'm in town. Out with the backseat, lame ass stock stereo, and in with a monster! So onto the ugly (I mean stock) pics... So the install will happen in about 2 1/2 weeks. In the meantime, since I've been out of the loop for almost 3 years, I would like to get everyone's opinion on head-units, mids, amps, batteries, etc. I have a pretty good idea, but this market changes so fast that everything I used a few years ago could be obsolete. Stay in tune, updates will be posted regularly and the entire install will be shown! And heres a few teaser pics of my old setup...R.I.P.

EricR Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Nice, should get loud. i was thinking leave the 12 sitting in the box in the hole and duck tape from the bottom of the sub to the bottom of the baffle so the sub doesnt free air. would that work?
