And took out 2nd place in my class . Classing was via cone area and I was in Class A (under 12") against Team Purps (who won), Hobzta and a bunch of Bathurst locals.

I'm so stoked ! Posted a best of 138.4. Not too shabby for a SVC 12" Megavox BX12 sub in pre-fabbed ported fibreglassed Megavox enclosure with God knows what tuning frequency . Power was from a Kenwood KAC-923 (rated 290WRMS @ 4 ohm mono). Factory alternator & factory tidler of a battery feeding thru 4gauge StreetWires.

And the best part was, as I rolled into the lane for my 2nd burp (which hit 138) aparantly the announcer said "Hard to believe but its only a single 12 in it"
Just wanted to share my excitement with you guys .. *now where's that new battery*

'live'n the dream babey'

Wow.. this is where it all started, right here.. sorry to bring back a necro thread but wow.. so much has happened since then..

Back then if someone told me I'd be sponsored by the worlds BIGGEST manufacturer of audio equipment, the worlds most respected audio cable company, and be tight with Australia's most respected installers, I'd have called them a dickhead.
If they'd told me I'd be doing 151.5dB and holding the record everyones chasing for a class, I've have called them a lier..
If they'd told me that 138dB was really only 134dB, and that I'd gain 17.5dB over that I'd have told them to keep dreaming.
An invite to Worlds ? Youre insane. 150dB was a dream, Worlds was a whisper, Australian Champion forget that that.
The NSW Police & RTA aint never heard a car louder and booked it ? hahaha, Jonnies RX7 is louder..

Back then.. I was so small. Looking back now.. it brings a tear to my eye. Thankyou Bob^, thankyou for find this thread. *wipes away the tear*. We all started somewhere, and it was here for me.. Dont be afraid to dream, dont be afraid to make it a reality, we were all little fish once.

[EDIT] I still have the trophey from this event... small, plastic, crap.. but it sits next to my Points, 05 & 06 championer tropheys in a place of honor. Respect your roots, dont forget who helped you get there. Tony, Lucas, Marc, Deryck, Andu, John..

??? are you going to 'retire' again?

Still in retirement mate.. Only been to 3 comps this year out of 6.

MATE WHO IS YOUR DEALER? I WANT SOME OF THAT CRACK YOU'RE ON.
