Erin are you familiar with 432Hz -vs- 440Hz ?

I prefer 440hz for those tough stains.

always a bridesmaid... Oh well. The two who beat me are no slouches.




I'm very happy with the car right now. I had some really good feedback from the judges and people whose opinion I respect and trust. I got the highest scores ever from two judges but got bombed by the third (83, 82.5, 76.5) which may or may not have hurt my chances at 2nd place. But, having heard the 2nd place car (Scott Welch's), I honestly felt like either of us could have beat each other... they really did sound so similar. In many aspects I felt like I was listening to my own car, which was really cool! So getting 2nd place to that car is at all no problem. And he's such a cool dude, it made it even less painful. LOL.

I haven't changed speakers, amps or DSP in over a year. Nothing about this car is planned to be changed other than upgrading to the new Helix DSP for the extra channels so I can play around with rear-fill again. Otherwise, I'm just gonna make a few install tweaks, add a couple minor things to the tune, and ride this sucker in to the sunset while I wait on the financial opportunity to get a new car. In which case, it's soooo gonna be on!


Thanks to all my friends who helped provide feedback and input over the years. It's appreciated.

Congratulations sir! Quite an accomplishment to have changed none of the installation, but to accept it's all in the tuning. Something I'll probably never be able to learn

Congratulations, Erin!!!

I keep saying this... buy good speakers, install them in a good way (take time aiming, mount solidly, use a reasonably sized enclosure, etc) and you're 70% there. The tune is the last 30%... and IMHO phase (time alignment) is 20% of that.

Oh, yea... one other thing I'll have to work on is getting volume back in my car after Jim Becker broke my wire when he was demoing my car. LOL.

It sure made for a quiet drive back home.

Oh no, had to limp home on no tunage......booo! I'm glad I finally got my demo I missed at jasons a while back. It was worth the wait, the tune was sweet! The competitors who keep the impact in their tunes are always my favorites! Great job erin......and congrats on your shiny hardware!

oh no, no tunes on way home....yikes
