He's in my class. Send him to me...

Me too, I don't know if I want to cry or celebrate!

That means I would have been in 2nd place or even 1st place, I know the guy who won 1st place, I spoke with him some time ago he is from NY state he has a Ford Fusion.

It feels good any way! and when I'm in my car it sounds even better.

Some time it just takes a bit one to screw a lot of them.

I'm sorry to hear your journey, I hope 12 hours is enough to eat, sleep and tune.

Good Luck!

...I'm half raging and half motivated.

What was REALLY neat though regardless of what happened was what I learned about tuning from Scott. One of these days I'll share it.

The deck was taken down because of the processor malfunction. Now I have to find somewhere in the US that can fix the P-01. I'm already making arangements to fix the Bit One...it's going away though. Even if it never breaks down again, I won't have it in my car or any other Elettromedia product if I can possibly help it. Anything that busts the very day I need it is not worthy to be used in my car. Having heard the other Pro/Am vehicles...I could have won the class. That is what stings me most...

Regardless, I've already started the next steps to next season. The mids are going back up top. The tweeters are staying in the sails. Scott Buwalda said, "Get those mids back up in those pillars...NOW...". Sir, yes sir. I've already started surgery on the pillars I used to have up there. I'm expecting the pillars ready and mounted by early November. I also expect the system to be sounding off by December...P-01 or not.

I've been talking with my contacts and I'll be working closely with Zapco for processing. Also expect to see some neat custom work happening. I'll leave it at that for now.

I'll kick up some pics...

I'll won't be metering at Heat Wave either. Sold my stuff a few weeks ago. Imma go on a super low budget this next go round and try some 8 inch American Bass subs and that cheap lil Audio Pop and see how it sounds. Pretty sure i can piss off a few of the local hardcore streat beaters.

You don't need the processor mang. After my processor took a crap we did everything we could to lower the noise floor in the P-01 that the processor's death somehow caused. We still tuned the car...under Scott's advice the stage opened up and was a lot more airy and accurate.

Oooh! I've already started on re-tooling the pillars from 2011. I have pics too! I'll text you my progress so far...

sickpuppy1 · 09-26-2012, 08:31 AM

I am so bummed about the part failure keeping you from the comp.....That really sucks.
I'm also real curious about the 1st car with twin turbos and the belt drive to the axle. What car was that?

What is "noise floor"?

D.

sqcomp · 09-26-2012, 02:06 PM

"In signal theory, the noise floor is the measure of the signal created from the sum of all the noise sources and unwanted signals within a measurement system, where noise is defined as any signal other than the one being monitored."

That vehicle with the supercharger and turbos is a frame off Ford GT. it's also worth around 300k...

The equipment failure didn't stop me from competing...it did stop me from placing. That being said, it took Scott 5 tries at INAC to come home with a trophy. I'll be back next year for sure...and I'm working with a known industry installer to work my special idea for the woofers. That and I've already stared modding my pillars from the 2011 season after Scott mentioned that I should move them back up there ASAP.

Can you record that noise?
just curious

Very curious about special idea for woofers!

How are you going to install the L4SE's in a-pillars even more curious!

Man, you guys inspired me. I'm going PRO!

I just put some 15" subs in my A-pillars! I'm sure to win now!
Nobody has ever tried this before!

sqcomp · 09-26-2012, 06:03 PM

You could record the noise but its simply noise that is added after the original signal.

The subwoofers...It's probably going to make my yaris a true four seater versus two front seats and a bench in back...

...And I sent you the pics of my old pillars being modified...

sqcomp · 09-26-2012, 06:04 PM

AM - Get some! WoOt!

...maybe not 15"s but look closely at the dash...

That looks really sweet. I like it.

sqcomp · 09-26-2012, 07:19 PM

That's work from Audio Xperts in California. Vince Miranda is the shop owner...known him to a couple years now. Great guy.
