Team Sounddomain members Thumper26, TTownCLS and myself will be attending Hi FI Buys Summer Nationals this Sunday in Nashville, TN.

TTownCLS and myself are still working on getting our cars ready, but should have them done in time.

If anyone would like to listen to the vehicles, please stop by and introduce yourself. We would love to have the feedback.

I'll post some pics later on of what I'm trying to do to get ready and give you an idea of what goes on before a big show. Hopefully the rest of the guys will do the same.

I'll be taking some pics tonight of the re-work on my door panels. I'll put them up as soon as it's done.

And you really should come out to the show. I've gathered tons of information and ideas just walking around and talking to people at the shows.

I'm still trying to decide if I'm going to show up or not.

Isn't there a Boaz comp the weekend after this?

Yep. Thunder on the mountain is next weekend at Boaz AL. But why miss Hi Fi Buys? Just go ahead and plan to attend shows the next three weekends. That's what I'm doing.

By all means bring the civic. I've got to see what's been done. We could use an extra set of ears Sat. night if you want to come and stay with us.

Im looking forward to this show! Had a great time last year and there were a lot of great cars there. Even if youre not going to compete this would be a great chance to hear a lot of excellent systems. Should also be interesting to see who wins the loot since 2 of last years winners wont be there.

Still up in there atm. I'm probably about to get hell from you guys, but...

My wife's off this weekend and we haven't been able to spend much time together the past few weeks. So, I'm thinking about just staying home with her this weekend and planning out a vacation. If I miss this weekend, I'll probably make the Boaz comp. Vice versa.

why am i not surprised.

you at least duct taped them down so they wouldn't move, right? expanding foam would also keep them in place.

on a serious note, how you likin the pimp ass IB wall?

IB wall is niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.

Subs sound phenomenal, at least to me.

Left my door panel at Scott's so I've been dealing with holding my window/lock thingamajiggies up while I shut the door.

Thats what Im looking forward to most - seeing all my Schil Acoustic homies again. Aint seen most of y'all mofo's since finals.

I think Im done with tuning for this show. Took 2 weeks and a whole bunch of hours sitting in my garage in the dark with Chesky, test tones and an SPL meter but I think Ive got it in a pretty good place. I doubt Ill have anything for Kirk but I should be competitive. I got a lot of good critiques from Vinny at the Franklin show and I think Ive got most of them ironed out. But then Ive thought that before and wound up screwing things up worse than they were before!

Funny how if you listen to it long enough, even pure crap starts to sound good.

LOL.

you should start a team like that. My first show was with no subs, borrowed amps, and about an hour of tuning. I got a 70.5

It's funny, HiFi's was my worst show ever as far as equipment problems and tuning goes, but it was also some of my best individual marks as well. Methinks Boaz ought to be pretty interesting since everything ought to be playing together for once.
