How it looked when i first bought it:
Cost me a HUGE AU$250 to buy this beast of a car. Came complete with a blown head gasket and 2 chipped valves.
After i replaced the valves + headgasket, she was back on the road and running perfectly.
After this, whats the first thing i did to the POS? Chuck a stereo in it of course!
This gear: DD9512 dual 1ohm + caliber MK2
in this setup:
Was good enough to get me a 144.3db and 2nd place in St A at Sydney Autosalon dBDrags in May '04. however it simply wasnt loud enough!!
Clearly a new box design was in order.
#1: 143.x @ 2ohm never loaded down to 0.5 ohm.
#2: 147.12. Dont currently have any pictures of this setup unfortunately. [edit] took some pics of "the chimney" box
After #2 it was time to ditch the single DD 9512 and replace with 2 DD3510s. With the new woofers came the addition of a new amp. The Eaudio 3000D, a brand named + imported by a friend and myself. I brought 20 into the country. Output is 3000wrms @ 1ohm.
and so came the next install....my poorest effort to date.
#3: 143.2. Running temporary Atomic AP10s in a new enclosure, extended into the fibreglassed tyrewell. Subs + port toploaded. No finished pictures of this install as it was scrapped rather hastily after the competition.
and finally
#4 149.2. My best score to date.
At Australian dbdrag finals i managed a best of 148.2 and a 2nd Place. With minor tweaking the next month at Summernats '05 i managed a best of 148.6 and FIRST place. With some more tweaking i have now managed a best of 149.2 without any port modifications, thats next.
Next to come is the addition of another Eaudio 3000d and a change to Dual 2ohm DD3510s to allow me to strap the two 3000ds to 0.5ohm (0.25 per amp). With the added gear i expect to be almost breaking the 151 mark.
Second Eaudio 3000D installed:
New subs arrived start of febuary. New DD3510ds (left) dual 2ohm. Heres a comparison vs the old "c" series (right)
The test bench/running in station ;)
My latest score at dBDrags: 150.5
Accidently left the amp manual infront of the port...
