Platinum Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 12362 Registered: Oct-05 | the bl is just an idea. i was also thinking solo x 10. since its a street A car the engine has to be off. i can somehow squeeze a kinetik hc2400 under the hood and power a kicker kx2500.1 or a orion 2500d. damn i regret selling my orions now. lol. |

I would see about being sponsored by RD. they might be able to hook you up with some Elite SPLs or w/e. That way you can have an efficient SPL sub. Because lets face it, the solo X is gonna want TONS of power. an L7 might be a better route than a solo X honestly. unless you can provide the 4-5kw. thats gonna be fun. building boxes for a single 12 is going to be so much easier than dual 15s haha.

The shop he consults for is like 10 minutes away from my house. It's cool, you live near Tuan and I live near Pete. I've talked with Tuan about his street A setup before. I think he only ran the DD battery because he couldn't get an NSB 90 battery at the time. He's told me that the NSB 90 and the NSB 120 are the most powerful batts you can buy. The issue in street is making them fit in the stock location without modifications. Brief "matrix" of the rules: http://www.termpro.com/dbdrag/rules/index.asp?Page=2 |
