It all reminds me of something that Moličre once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Well I am home, after a very long weekend! The results................
160.6 DB Good enough to bring home 2nd place in Pro Stock 1001-5000
We had some issues in the lanes and had a little bit left in the car, but the score held up so more to sit on next year!
I will post pics as I get them off the camera, I know we have some of the hotel room at 2am and then the hotel lobby at 4:30am long nights of big parties
The complete setup finially was
(6) 2006 Kicker L7 10's
(6) 2006 Kicker ZX1500's
(7) The "V" Hybrid 16/12 volt batteries
All crammed in the back of a CRX.
Thanks for the support, and I am glad to have a few months off before we get going again.

thats a lot of gear to cram in a crx. any build pics?
Posted By: jeffchilcott
Date Posted: November 29, 2006 at 8:24 AM
Really it wasnt that tight of a fit, just finding a way to not disturb the airflow of the car horribly was the trick.
4 amps in the spair tire well,
7 batteries from across the width of the car from B-Pillar to Pillar
6 subs in a very very small box
2 more amps wedged between the box and the passenger side window panel
We I get it all put back together I will take some more pics, but I will only leave them up for a short period of time.

I just did a tally on my expenses for the year, including the car, the motor work I have put into the car, all the equipment, and all the shows I have done this year
over $15,000 for the year...I am hoping to stay at about half of that this year

It basically broke down like this
roughly $5000 on equipment throughout the year
$3000 on batteries and charger
$5000 into the car with the motor work I have done under the hood. Freshly rebuilt B18C1 with lots of goodies
$2000 in travel expenses and gas/hotels
There is more money I spent out there, this year I have a running tally of recipts that I am keeping
At this point for the year I am at about $200 for travel and some wire and connectors
It takes alot of time and money to get into the competiton curcuit full time, thats why I also judge shows in my spair time.
Some people frown upon it but I have been going to alot of little unsanctioned shows that have cash payouts for top SPL....Hey I gotta make some money some how, and it might give someone motovation to get a bigger and better setup.
