I competed with the stock system to support the local shows and threw in a modest system for SBN with inventory on hand and surprisingly won. redid the car the week before finals and took 2nd to the Focal car that won IASCA European championship by .6 points. That car had a huge number of their small subwoofers in the hatch IIRC. Unfortunately that car was totaled parked at the shop by a Ram that lost control in the rain.
Bought an Evo VIII and built a system that ended up in the Zapco booth at SBN the next year and left car audio shortly afterwards. That car is a time machine that is basically unchanged now. 21K miles on it, Illusion IB 15" on steel baffle. 6.5" kicks and tweeters in the pillars. Zapco amps are built into 4G63 valve covers with their Original DSP.
Have a Mitsubishi Mirage g4 now as a DD that I spend a lot of time in and want to keep it simple since its a driveway install and time is still limited. the car audio scene isn't what it used to be but its good to find a group of purists still exists!
