I'm pretty sure that's everyone.

Thanks to Ange (and I think it's his dad?) for making the trip up.
Well done to the NSW crew, coming all that way and doing such good numbers. It was so much fun and a few close runs made it a really good day

Congrats Billy on the SPL King.

congrats on the scores. any loading probs still billy?

It never was a loading problem.

Every time Billy went to four amps, two woofers were running out of phase! Hence the damaged woofers!

The D6 and Z1a are almost identical, however the D6 has a phase control. When on 0 they were actually 180 degrees out of phase relative to the Z1a.

We had to run one bank of amps out of phase to the other, the result was 161.6 on Team Boomz meter and a 161 official. Billy now needs dual 0.5 coils and he'll see 164 with a bit more work on the port and wall smoothing. Thanks to Leo for his magic gunk also.

I'm still worried about the phasing, we'll need to get his car on a dual trace CRO to check it, better still Billy should get four of the same amps.

A phase control could be useful on a single amp for SQ tuning, but trying to match four in an SPL car is just not on!

All in all it was a great day. Thanks to Angelo and all the competitors who turned out, congrats to all the new record holders.

Phil

Congrats to everyone there on the day... Massive thanks to Angleo for keeping everything running smoothly and Massive thanks x 20 to sandra and ross and the boys from team manual shed for all your help all day!!!

Steet Stock A is turning into a great class it was hard fought all day with no clear winner right up to the finals... nez bang was consistant 140's all day luke and pumping out scores from 139 - 141 all day. I got lucky with a new box and woofer (not run in) that was fairly untested and pulled something out of my proverbial... Bring your friends as the 3 of us had an ball all day.. I lost count of the number of runs that we had...

Well done everyone and hope you all had a great time

see you next year for sure

that's a huge effort - great to see massive scores in all the street categories, haven't seen that in a long time.

good effort from all, especially george with the street C!

Well done to all who competed, great to see the rain held off till right after Trophy Presentation.

3 AUSTRALIAN RECORDS.

Super Street No Wall - Leo Franke 152.4db
Super Street 5+ - Justen Nowland 160.5db
Street Stock B - Jason Collins 144.8db

Was great to meet some of the Southerns and have a chat and laugh with you.

good to see new faces getting into the sport aswell. Nicole Willet, first SPL comp and 2nd in St Max. wasnt till after the comp it was realised she had no box for her subs... at all.

what happened to Street C? George's 155 cleans up the current Aus Record, no?

George set the record at the Sanctioned comp held on May 10 at Slacks Creek here in Bris.

155.5db

Justen also set the Extreme Record at the same comp 160.3db

Street A....... 150.4dB

So make that 4 Australian Records

oops my bad

sorry Brad

thought it was over 150 already.

well done

I have a bit of a problem with this one.

dB Drag rules state "Veteran contestants, competition teams, and "hardcore" competitors are encouraged to compete in one of our other divisions."

Street Stock is a development class, intended to get new blood into dB Drag. I really don't think the son of an importer, borrowing a shop owner's car really falls into this class.

Phil

in that case, any new competitor who gets help from veteran competitors shouldnt be in their either.

eg, a new member joins Team Boomz, with the experience that the team can provide to that person, advice, box building, testing and tuning... then they should compete in a different class.

That's a bit different. If someone owns the car and the gear I'd say that's OK as long as they're not associated with the industry.

Phil

nice score Cleutin good to see your hitting them high numbers

can you teach me how to get <140?

of course...if team boomz builds a car, then lends it to team boomz's little sister to compete at SAS and she runs an Oz record, then...

well if its built by cluetin there be no chance of that.

That's definitely not fair play and wouldn't be on either.

Phil

classic

he is "your" mate

Haha you're a crackup Roo!

Doesn't Andu still have the SS N/W Record of 157.x done a few years ago????

I think all the records were reset with the new rule changes?

Close competition and good numbers in St Stock A, what were they running?

1st..Will a 15in, 2nd...Luke 2x12in and me 3rd single 12

will and luke can had the specs if they want.....blaupunkt velocity 12 (the older model) dual 4 and off a EA1000D

Roo, you have already spoken to about your comments towards me and Team Boomz.

They are not in a joking manner and you full well know it.

Cease in your defamtory comments or further action will be taken as you were warned with last time.

Do remember that i am NOT the only member of Team Boomz. your comments not only target me but the rest of the Team.

look at my quote does it say anything about team boomz?

It's been a while since I've been in a shi.t stirring mood, so click on the link have a read and take some of your own advice Matt.

On page 2 & 3 you made what could easily be considered defamatory comments about:

Autobarn
Alpine
Digital Designs
Fusion

edit: I dont know how I stumbled across those posts, found them the other day, must have linked from somewhere (f.ucks me)

The link doesnt work Mick...

Wood

does for me

haha Woody (Off topic, when u back in town?)

holy ccrap, i just read the posts on that link. i have never read such rubbish before.

sounds like im missing out

...did find a cool link though browsing the silvia site lol (see the tube thread on offtopic)

why do SPL threads ALWAYS turn to shit?

crap? lol man this is entertainment

That's the $1,000,000 question to which no one really knows the answer.

I love it though, seeing this immaturity still going on makes me feel like I never left the scene.

If I ever I need a chuckle, just jump on here and go through the old SPL threads, hours of side splitting stuff there.

hey, i mean, i loled ( ) but still

Wow what a load of sh.it!

Exactly.

Billy's car with two Z1a was louder than the Austin with seven amps.

Capalaba's car did 161.8 with four Z1a, that's $14396

Capalaba's Civic does not use 99Z18s, it runs 9518 + composite cones, $1999ea, that's $3998

Total cost of gear for 161.8 $18394.

It went on to 162.3 at Wagga off eight amps, winning SPL King 2007.

Unfortunately when the car was left playing music for over an hour without the chargers on, the front 12V battery went flat, causing bad signal from the source unit and amp failures. This is something that would never happen in a normal vehicle, especially if the amps were fused. But given that it is an SPL car and has no fuses, these things happen!

Capalaba's Civic has never had an amp or woofer fail in competition.

Phil



It was good to have a chat.

Well what can i say its 1.19am and we got home.
As for the weekend we had a blast.
I like to thank Phil for the loan of his garage and termlab and coming thru for us.
Carl for letting us dump our trailer at his house.
Brad for holding a BBQ at his shop(on behalf of George and Sandra) and being so hospitable
George and Sandra for suppling great food and great company.
And last but not least Angelo and his Dad for making it all happen and driving the 18 hours
It was great to see everyone helping each other and just having a great day and there was no real us and them attitude and everyone from nsw was made to feel welcome by all the Queenslanders

Mick... Back in less than a fortnight but disappearing again for awhile on holidays. Enjoying some well earned time off.

Finally got the link to work. Wow Matt.... You've definately done yourself a massive favour and increased your reputation and profile within the car audio industry with alot of your comments. You should realise there is nowhere you can hide on the internet. Just ask the guy that bought my pulsar then tried to clam it as his own on Nissansylvia.com...

Here are some of my favourite comments. Just for some of those that can't be bothered checking the link out...







What... All those seconds and thirds??

Multiple Sound Quality trophies??? Seriously??



Leave yourself a bit open with that one fella. How is that laser going....



Wow... thats almost a straight shot at me!! Let us know when you win anything worthwhile. You know, a state championship or something...



I just want you to know, you finally said something I agree with. Dyn arent to bad at all...




So.... after all that, I get the feeling your in a world of hurt. In alot of circles, some of the comments you have made would be considered SLANDER. I'll be having words to a close personal friend who is a senior mod on the nissansylvia site and making him aware of your comments. I know he won't be to happy about them and he doesnt even like car audio.

Personally, after all that, I think your a knob. And to my own shame, I agree with most of the comments coming from Roo.

Sorry for the long post but I had time to kill....
