I started back in the 80 when I moved to Miami from up north first bunch of friends I met all had systems in the car so when I bought my first car we put 4 12" Pyle drivers on 4 sony 50-50 and a sanyo pre-amp and thats all we did just drive around and listen to music so who had the most attention and drew the crowd then bought my first wagon and thru everything it did my first show in Miami came 5th and got hooked ever since.Did my first Mecca event back in 04 @ Zypherhills came in 5th in a min van 1 15 and a kole 3000d then did my first Db Drag on Father's day in Orlando in 05 got spanked but it was fun and stood doing DB DRAG since

I was always a "basshead" to begin with.I worked under the legendary Mike Barfield in Kinston,N.C.for awhile and I got hooked on DB Drag because he was a nationally ranked competitor.One of the main reasons I love Strokers(the "classics",not the new crap)is because he had alot of success with them.Anyone know where he is now?I owe him thanks for everything he's taught me pertaining to SPL.

Back in 97, I believe it was on my birthday, I went to a DB drag here in Albany (back in the kenwood days) and I saw a LOUD vehicle. It was Pirate Radio out of CT with there might max with I think 9 strokers and something like 36 old school MTX amps. Been hooked ever since

The bronco did a 151.8 in Vancouver - not bad for that old SQ bronco... no motor, no alternators, just batteries using an old gas generator..sort of fun and definitely makes you wonder what that thing would do with real power. Oh well, SPL is still in my blood.

Man where to start as there was a point when 6x9's and boosters was the rave then being too poor to notice what car audio had escalated to then after having raised your kids and having enough money again to return to the enormous possibilities.A few years of this and that, Getting ripped off,Getting my first computer,learning alot more and talking with Alma on Elite,Driving many miles to be a spectator,Finally deciding to bust a move.

I have always had a fascination with music. Went to my first show at The Entertainer back in '96 and easily became hooked. Helps that there were locals around that were "big hitters" like Danny Britain and Pure Sound during the first few shows I attended. Have done both the competing and the judging side of things and enjoyed both. After ten years, I'm still not ready to throw in the towel by any means. What keeps me doing it? The PEOPLE.

For me was when I was 16 and all of the other kids had stereo's that I was friends with and then I just knew I was hooked had to get loud played with alot of stuff over the years had some good pounding stereo's but last season watching my Dad compete I wanted it more than anything. This year was just awsome had allot of fun competing hanging with John Hone and the rest of team Baldman creations learning everything they had to teach and gaining some new friends. Team Baldman rocks couldn't ask for any better friends.

Back in the day, I was always into trunks. Owning a thousand Honda Accords since 2001, I went to a local NSPL show in (where else ) Roanoke Rapids, NC in 2001 with my boy Monte Tucker who was in the Trunk class with his '95 Jetta. Then he retired, sold me his DD 9515's, and it was all down hill from there!!!
Fast forward 5 years later to 2006, and I'm a retired multi-NSPL champion!
