OK, what I got out of the meeting yesterday was that (for starts) I should think of investing in a better tweeter amp (...I am currently using the Audison 2.9 for my Esotar2's).
{MY Italian 'baby' is on my mids }
The majority recommendation amp came directly down to a Zapco c2k 2-channel.
I see there are a few models, a 2.0xP , 2.5x , ,2.5P , ... 4.0k , ...9.0xd ...etc
*What model 2-channel Zapco should I get for my Esotar2 Tweets, guys ? ...and how many watts would that amp be per channel for those specific tweets.
I, Ruperto Aguilar , had a lot of fun .Everyone there was great awsome guy's with nice systems .
I am glad everyone enjoyed Chad's car he has been working hard and I am sure is going to pay off. I been very picky on that car when I get a chance to listen and hope it has been of good help to Chad.
Khan , I like the way he listens to music and really pick faults in a system dont let his quietness fool you .LOL . His car is totally different from the first time I listen .
Matt, I have to say that you made the biggest improvement , the truck sounded 300% better ,but I still think it can get 100% better .300% +100% wow ,was it that bad , just ask him on how hard I was on him. LOL
Erick , you are working on the car , but you can hear all the potential and hopefully you give me the opportunity for my input to get it even better than last year.
Chuck , great person really enjoy meeting you , your truck has a great sound stage and your speaker placement are in stock locations .I would like to hear it again when you have it dial in .
Born-to-Rock , awsome guy really easy person to be around with , I didn't hear your car this time ..........but , just talking to you is fun and enjoyable.
Oilman , your car is very easy to listen and has great potential.
Thanx guys ! for having me there and the beer . Erick , you were a great host .
Ruperto thanks for the kind words. A truck isn't the easiest to use as a format for SQ. I value your opinions and I have reserved the comments for future use. While in the area I'd like to spend some more time picking your brain on a few subjects if possible. You need to get in contact with me over the prospect of the concrete work we discussed. I'll PM you my number and we can set-up a meeting in humble to go over the work required.
Edit: Keep in mind I'm working within the rules and restraints of my class in MECA with the driver placements. I find the lower class I'm in a challenge and I like a challenge.

I have to say I did enjoy listening to Matt's truck. For those who think Focal tweets are harsh should have a listen to Matt's truck. Soft, warm, detailed and inviting. I was a little worried at first when I saw the install and the way the drivers were aimed. Popped in a disc and all my worries went away. Get in the lanes and compete my friend.
BTW: Matt is one cool dude I could talk with for hours. I think we see eye to eye on many subjects. Everyone at the GTG was easily approached and open to discussions.

Agree about Matt's truck. Very easy on the ears. I didn't get much time in it at all because my little boy wanted my attention lol. Like u mentioned Chuck, I too was kinda skeptical when I saw the pillars. But very impressed.
Sorry i missed it! I had some family in town that decided to stay thru the weekend so i couldn't get away. I really wish I could have made it out to meet everyone and hear what a quality tuned system should sound like. If you guys on the north side are going to be around this Saturday I would love to meet up for a beer and maybe some suggestions on getting my jeep to sound a little better with the alpine 660.
I got a spare Zapco 2.5x 4ch sitting on the shelf . Lmk if anyone interested.
I really enjoy the meet, lots of good sounding car and well built, I felt like my car isn't there yet . May be it's time to upgrade to a new vehicle and do it right this time.
Matt's truck is a great improvement I really enjoy it and I have no complaints about tonality.
Erik's FJ is probably the best sounding stage i've heard , now I know what a champion vehicle sounded like .
khanhfat I may be interested in your amp.
I wanted to hear your car after talking the judge. He told me you went through the same issues I am going through.
Man it was good meeting some great guy this past weekend and I was able to get out of my own head a bit to listen to some other cars besides mine. Here are some of my thoughts.....
Ricky- first of all you fabrication work was just ART!!! the tonality of your are is really good, will be even better when you learn how to tame that MS8 BEAST!!! Staging will get better with time and some trial and error...
PJ- your car sounds great... Welcome.. I think that you ride has looooootts fo potenital that swival is just BRILLIANT for playing with staging and finding the right angle. Cant wait to hear what you eventually come up with..
Chuck - your midbass and sub sounded insane and the midrange was butteryyyy smooth and raw, the center was focused and stage remained high the entire time did not pull down at all.. Will be talking to you soooon about some TWISTERS
John - for having all passives and no processing you car sounded damn good. May have to looking to those Kappa's for some of my friends rides.
Craig- Man your midrange was Soooooooooo REAListic highs were a bit artificial but I think you already have the equipment to fix that... and you definately BornToRock.. You energy was great...
Matt - I dont even know why this guy showed up
Khanh - your staging was great and loved that midrange (very real sounding) and low end..
Erik - CHUMP............................. JK Oooops I meant CHAMP
Chad- Did this guy deliver the PIZZA or something. JK..

Guess this pizza boy aint gotta make a set of pillars this spring break! LOL
I live in LaGrange and suggested to Eric that I could host one. It would be in the middle of Austin and Houston. About a hour from each city. We have 3 acres and enough covered parking for 8 cars.

As a fellow Dodge Ram owner this is the truck I wanted to hear the most! Hopefully next time!
My place will dependent on the weather. If it rains like it did last weekend we would be screwed. But if it's dry it would be perfect. Great place to bring the kids.
Looks like I missed an EPIC GTG. Would have loved to see my brothers: Matt, Chad and Erik, and see my Papa...Ruperto! J/K Ruperto! You know who loves ya!
