Well I just met Michael Hughes today. Thought since we will be caravaning to Lawton for a 3x show next weekend I better get to know him. Saw a Focus with 8 15s in it today, and still has a full install for fullrange up front.

Competes in USACs StreetBeat and DbDrag's BassRace. Pretty nice install with run-o-the-mill Kicker Comps for subs. Damn LOUD!

Anyway, I was talking to him and he is trying to convince me into competing StreetBeat and BassRace with my car. But take out the single sub in the rear, sell it, and buy no less than 8 12's and possibly one six-channel amp for the K3P's up front. Lose the rear seat and throw a wall in.

Forgive me Father for I have sinned....I am actually contemplating it. We will see.

Can you imagine 8 RE 12's and Audison power competing in an SPL class? Priceless!

Joe i have never been so proud!!! lol its about time you came to the dark side! what most people dont realize is you can have a decent mix of SPL and SQ look at neil barber he runs bass race in dbdrag and his truck sounds incredible!

Jon, you haven't lost me yet. I have been talking to a few world champions lately and discussing my options on sq and spl combinations. Mike Hughes says that with my front stage, I wouldn't need to change much unless I wanted another set of midbass drivers and buy another 1.400 for a set of subs. I am just playing around with the idea. It would be kinda cool to run bass race in DBDrag and SQ in USAC.

Bill, like I just told Jon, I am not totally sure I want to do this, mainly cause of the extra strain on my suspension, but by this time next year it will be a trailer queen anyway so no telling what is going to happen. All I know is that I was more than intrigued with the look of the "multiple woofer + SQ" approach. So that is all I am going to say right now.
