It would be nice but, for me personally, it would be a hollow victory. I like knowing that I can build something with the help from my teammates and friends and win. It like trying to say I painted a picaso, I may fool some newbies, but some one will catch me sooner or later.

I know someone who should read this. Ah, not important. Gavin, I admire your integrity. Best of luck on the van.

wow a Japan competitor with an Astro van? All I know is I've seen American cars go in to Japan and come out tweaked to perfection. I'm sure you are going to be teaching us a thing or two. I look forward to watching this thread develope. As well as take notes hahahaha LOL.

Sorry for the late reply, astro's are not common here, they are to big for some streets and roads over here. but there are a few of them rolling around. as for GAS FORGETABOUTIT!! $150.00 for a full tank! and that regular not high octain!

Kimo, I'm American but I just live here (for the last 15 or 16 years!LOL). As for the tweaked out cars.. you name it, they do it here! some are nice and some look like crap. take as many notes as possible. its all about learning!
Lesson 1: if your gonna use magic mate 400, be prepared for some long hours intstalling it! between doing the roof and laying a second layer on the doors, I'm looking at 2 or 3 days worth of work!

water soaked towels?? explain that one bro? since it getting cold here, I just put a heater in the van for an hour, let all the MM heat up and then start to apply it but, to get it toasted brown, I just use a hand torch or heat gun.

Your right, I never heat it so much that the outside paint burns off! I know it has to get hot but not that hot!

Heck yea! the early bird catches the sleeping Japan champ! lol I just found out he's changing his subs to 9918z's. Now, gotta find out if he's changing his amps!

Got a hmmmmmmm, question for ya .. I see many competitors running anywhere from 4 amps to 16+ amps, now........ I'm in SS 3~4, how amps do you suggest? I want this build to last for a LONG WHILE! plus demo a product. I know its 20% equipment and 80% box but what are the pro's and cons of running 8 amps vs. 16 amps . and for the record.. I'm trying to deside between 8 XXV Goliaths or 16 GP Pro3000D's all going to 4 18's. Man if you can.. PM me your number so we can talk.

I would call ya but i think the international charge might be a bit retarded.
Depends on what you are truely trying to achieve. You can get plenty loud even with only 4 amps. Just depends on how big of an amp you want to go with. In Street Max 3-4 with 4 memphis mojo 15s and only 4 memphis mojo 2000d amps, I scored a 155.3 at world finals in 04'. Tuned at 46 hz. Sounded great becaese the tuning was kinda low. Typical port on one side with subs on the other. one sheet thick shell. 30-40 cube box with 8" port. I was allowed to have 8 amps in that class but only had 4 and was within 5-6 db of the loudest in the world at finals. My enclosure was good enough to win finals but I was just under powered. Because if you figure I could have had the more current 4000d amps and doubled the power, that would have taken me into the 158 range. Then if I had 8 instead of 4 amps and double the power again, I would have jumped into the 160-161db range where the leaders were. I just didnt have the money. You can build the box to be removable out of the side sliding door so its easier to build and modify outside the vehicle like I did. Max dimensions of 43-44" tall x 31-32" deep x 57-58" wide. Thats gives plenty of cubes to work with. Hope this helps. I would in your case, go with what ever number combination of amps to get you in the 6000-9000 watt per sub range. Thats ideal and you won't go through too many subs that way either. Hope this helps. Also the top of the box on either side from front to back need to be angled to fit at the top of each side of the van at the top of the b pillar @ the roof. I just built the box completely square to begin with, then from front to back on each side, I cut over on the top piece 7-8" and down the side 7-8" then just cut a new piece to cover the gap that is there. then this will fit right in the van. So the height of each side before it angles inward is about 36". the top piece is now about 50" instead of 58". Hope you understand what i'm trying to say and hope this helps

I understand..as for the phone call, I'll call you! do you have any pics of the box your talking about? as for power to the sub.. hahahaha, I was looking more at 14k per sub! If all goes well and the good LORD blesses me, high 60's is my goal. break a few windshields, give the Japanese champ something to really think about!
