Cant we all just get along? If not I guess I will just have to start closing threads...

BTW we wont stand for personal attacks...

I don't pick on em, he's just the only one who creates posts that are even pickable apartable

If you post something I dont agree with, I'll gladly call ya on it... if it makes you feel better?

Yep, no more personal attacks... which btw, I hope wasn't directed towards me? :help:

Actually it was directed to you as I was unsure how you would take my post.

But you showed integrity, which is good.

Now if we can stop nit picking and call it a day

sure dragon fire. I can do that in a new thread.

Richard Clark is a former IASCA Pro circuit competitor who managed to win quite a few titles using an Orange County Speakerworks sponsored Buick Grand National he set up for competition in an at the time very unorthodox manner. He was one of the first to use large electrolytic capacitors to smooth AC ripple from the alternator in his power supply/charging system. He sound deadened the hell out of the Buick to the tune of about an added 600lbs of weight in order to shape the internal acoustics of the cabin. He hand built the amplifiers and speakers used in the car which consisted of two 15" subs, two 12" midbass drivers, and two front dash mounted, hand crafted HLCDs, which was a first as well, before USD and ID came out with their models based on his designs. The car was fantastic for sound quality, and sufficiently loud at the same time. Terrific SQL setup. Richard now writes articles and such for an internet site, though the URL escapes memory at the moment. I'm not sure what else he's doing professionally at present. I haven't really spoken to him in years, but I was on the same circuit as he was, in a different power class in the early 1990s.
His Grand national is pretty famous and was featured in just about every auto sound periodical of the era.

Any google search for "richard clark grand national" should pop up a bunch of results.

while I think the Termpro forums are full of a bunch of assmonkeys, this article explains Richard Clark and his car:
