yep , 3rd and the 4th. :)

[ngsm13]

Wish I could justify the 11+ hour drive to unified...

[ramos]

USACI never does any damn shows around me. The closest are up in NY area and they are SPL only. :(

[pl8er]

I want to see your setup.

[ramos]

Not really much to see. I compete in street class SQ in MECA. So I'm not allowed to change much per the rules.

I have changed everything in the trunk to black trunk liner, and changed a few other things. I gotta clean the bitch up this weekend, so I will snap some more pics

[ramos]

Spend most of my free time working on other peoples cars. Haven't had much of a chance to do anything to my own. That will all change this winter.......:sneaky:

[Spider Monkey]

So do you compete for sound quality or sumfin?

[ramos]

Sound quality, my whopping 133.3db doesn't hold much water in the SPL arena. I can do a 145..........at 500hz lol :)

[Spider Monkey]

Yea um, I have no idea what any of that means. What makes you different than the other guys with the same number of speakers and shit? How do you stand out?

[ramos]

I have just about the simplest system you will find someone competing with. 6 speakers total 1000w rms total powering all 6. I don't stand out, I like to hide in the shadows.I guess I stand out a little with some of the equipment I have chose to use. Who the fuck uses blaupunkt amplifiers? I do.... :)

[_AnGeL_]

what amps are those ramos? they look sexy

[_AnGeL_]

aw fuck lol we posted at the same time

[ramos]

lol those blaupunkt amps are rebadged ( blaupunkt rebadged them as well ) by several other wildly popular internet brands :)

[_AnGeL_]

they sorta look like soundstreams :confused:

By stand out, I mean win.

[ramos]

Good guess, they are one of the rebadger's of them, the heat sinks on another well known internet brands look completely different though. But the internals are identical. :)

[ramos]

By stand out, I mean win.


Nothing, my car sucks :)

[Spider Monkey]

Oh, so you compete to lose?

[ramos]

Gotta be good at something right ? :)

[Spider Monkey]

LoLZ

[ramos]

I compete to have fun. Lowest I have finished all season is second place. I am hoping to finish in the top 5 at MECA finals. We shall see :)

[Spider Monkey]

So then you do, do good. I want to understand this competition thing. What is it that you do that makes you stand out bro.

My kind of installs man. To me stealth sq > all. I wish I could do competing.

[ramos]

Good ear for tuning, and I know what it takes to make a car sound good. I haven't been blowing smoke up the retards of CA's ass all these years. The old fart may just know a thing or two :)

[brynm]

That is a nice install. What components do you run?

[ramos]

Hybrid audio Clarus 5 1/4's in the doors, Hybrid L1v2's in the pillars, couple old arc kar 10's in the spare tire well :)

[_AnGeL_]

Hybrid audio Clarus 5 1/4's in the doors, Hybrid L1v2's in the pillars, couple old arc kar 10's in the spare tire well :)

HAT = $$$ lol are they worth the price tag?

[ramos]

The Clarus is the entry level stuff. I used the trade in deal while it was going on. My clarus set cost me a USED rainbow slc set and $15 for shipping. They are well worth the money to me. :)

[pl8er]

I'm impressed homie! I really need to do pillar installs or get some pods made because my SLC's just do not sound right the way they current sit. I spoke to Meglo about it, I need to follow up with that.

[pl8er]

Do you have something that holds that false floor up? How does that work?

[ramos]

It's sitting on 3" risers in a few strategic spots. Trunk is still fully functional minus 5 1/2" of top to bottom depth. :)

[Goremageddon]

So then you do, do good. I want to understand this competition thing. What is it that you do that makes you stand out bro.

the boner in my pants makes me stand out

[ramos]

October 3rd and 4th . :)

[bluecar]

Alright, cool.

[bluecar]

FWIW, it has been pouring down the last couple weeks.

[tommyk90]

I'll look for you, don't believe we have ever met. If your staying with Ben and those guys we will be at the same hotel :)

Ramada by the airport? Sweet. :)

Alright, cool.

Where at specifically? I will be there.

Tennessee state fairgrounds, the same place they were in 2007 when you stalked me. :)

[bluecar]

Maybe this year I will be confident enough to say hi.

Sat and Sun or just Sun?

[ramos]

Saturday and Sunday. Come on inside and get a demo. Black 1st gen Altima with the old fat dude near it :)

[mrogowski]

We were supposed to be there but didn't have enough points. :(

[Captain Ahab]

Maybe this year I will be confident enough to say hi.



:rofl:

[ramos]

Ramada by the airport? Sweet. :)





Wher ever the fark the ramada is lol I just booked a room where the rest of the team was. :)

[Upzaw2000]

So any of yous guys going to either the USACI/DBDrag finals or the Meca finals next weekend? :)

ill be at Usaci for SB2

[bluecar]

The Ramada near the airport isn't close to the fairgrounds. Ramos, PM me and I can give you my #. Looks like I may be there on SUnday, depending.

[_AnGeL_]

i wish i could go to either :crap:

[Hairyballzonya]

The Ramada near the airport isn't close to the fairgrounds. Ramos, PM me and I can give you my #. Looks like I may be there on SUnday, depending.

Hey man whats going on with you? We talk for 3 hours every night on the phone for 2 weeks straight now you quit answering my calls. If their is something bothering you just let me know, we can work through it. If you just dont like me anymore then let me know that too so im not waiting for you. You know how I feel. Oh and please dont give your number out to other guys publicly, it really hurts me.

[tommyk90]

It's something like 6 miles away.

[bluecar]

Makes me not really sure what Ramada....

Either way, if DH can get me a free ticket, I am going there...if not, I will be at the show.

[ramos]

Heading out tomorrow. hope to see some of you guys there :)

[pl8er]

PICS PICS PICS

[ramos]

I will try :)

[Captain Ahab]

good luck

[ramos]

Bad Luck unfortunately, My processor shit the bed right before judging. :( Got to meet some people though, so the weekend wasn't a complete loss. :)

[pl8er]

What processor do you use? I've heard through the grapevine that your setup is A+ and some apple pie.

[_AnGeL_]

talk about bad luck.

[ramos]

I HAD an alpine H701.............that is now in pieces. :)

[pl8er]

oh damn, not fixable?

[bluecar]

I thought the processor worked when I sat in your car?

[Hairyballzonya]

I thought the processor worked when I sat in your car?

My processor was working when you sat in my car Sunday night asshole. I totally realized that its over and you dont want to "hang out" anymore but at least you could have showed me some affection. That was real nice making me wipe up with my leather jacket but its cool. Next time your sorry ass thinks about calling after the bar closes dont bother.

[CockMuncher]

What happend? Team Audionutz get pissed off and broke it!

[ramos]

I thought the processor worked when I sat in your car?

Nope, that's the reason the staging was lopsided. My car doesn't require much time alignment, but it needs a little. You didn't notice most of the voices were pulling to the left of center? :)

[ramos]

What happend? Team Audionutz get pissed off and broke it!

LOL, the 701 just started doing wierd shit on it's own. My score sheets look like they judged three different cars :loco:

69 out of 70 on tonality 1.5 out of 30 for staging from one judge
50.5 out of 70 on tonality 18 out of 30 for staging from on judge
33 out of 70 on tonality 25.5 out of 30 for imaging from the 3rd judge

That sucks. Don't get the H900, I heard nothing but problems from that unit. Maybe you should order an Pioneer ODR from Scott.

[ramos]

Or I could just convert one of the pro audio proc. I have ;)

[pl8er]

*cough* pics?

[ramos]

I'm waiting on them. I had someone taking pics for me, cause I'm a lazy bitch :)

[pl8er]

:clap:

[pl8er]

While your around....I've got a Tru 4.65 currently installed. BB upgrades and some better caps in the amp.

If I got a sundown 125X2 or higher, do you think I would lose/gain anything (besides output).

[ramos]

Tru vs. sundown? I would keep the tru . :)

[pl8er]

Kinda my thought too. I just need more powah :( Footing the bill on a higher powered tru is gonna hurt.

I'll go with your advice though.

[IamDeMan]

Tru indeed. I wish.

[CockMuncher]

Or I could just convert one of the pro audio proc. I have ;)

you mean this one ;) I got one too

[ramos]

Yep or a dbdrive rack, I have three of them lol :)

[CockMuncher]

Yep or a dbdrive rack, I have three of them lol :)

blah analog eq slider bars ftl (for car use)

[ramos]

blah analog eq slider bars ftl (for car use)

no sliders
http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=246-174

It's pretty much the same setup as the rpm with only 6 outputs, and no wireless connection. I swapped out for the newer peavy models at my church. Not sure it's the direction I would have gone, but they got the peavy's almost free. Told me I could have the old ones. :)

[CockMuncher]

Who is doing the 12v conversion? The dude from team hybrid who is also did the conversion for the rane?

[ramos]

I'm having a guy here at my work build a conversion for the dbx. He's done a couple one off conversions for me already :)

[Glock17]

Cool.

[_AnGeL_]

you ever get any pics ramos?

[Goremageddon]

in for pics x2
