Anybody pick up this months Car Audio and Electronics? They did a tear down of Gary Biggs' Buik Regal. Ya know the one thats won 7 World SQ Championships!!!

The thing that blows me away is how basically simple it is. A set of JBL 5.25 components in the kicks firing across at each other and a 10" sub (although the sub is mounted INSIDE the firewall!!).

Its a very cool article! Also gives me a lot of hope since Im also using a set of 5.25 components and 10" sub! :D

everything 'should' fire from the front... so a sub in the firewall is honest-to-god ideal.

Not to mention the two 15" subs in the rear. In using the 10" for midbass up front, localization isn't a problem (like it would be using tens in the rear or rear quarters for that purpose).

I'd love to have a 10" doing midbass duty up front, but I'm not prepared to integrate one in my firewall :( . Major surgery, but a great idea for a competition vehicle.

The 15's are for SPL only. The SQ system only uses the 10 in the firewall.

It wasnt in that article. If I remember right, it was in the article done on his previous Kicker system in CA&E back in 2003.

Has he still got those same damn 508 GTi's in the front? OMG...that crap hasn't changed a bit! lol. I'm going to call that boy and give him some crap. Or, call his "better half"... I remember when he first put the woofer where the heater core area was and I remember when it was still a basic "white" Regal. (I wonder if I still have those pictures...) Come to think of it...I think I still have a ser of those 508 GTi's in the garage in the boxes!

Seriously...I worked with him at Car Toys in Tulsa for about 7 years. We both left in 2001 to pursue other jobs. He went to Kicker and I went to work for a rep firm. Man, we had a great crew back then. Oh, the stories I have on that boy.
