View Full Version : Dallas Meet

I'm need to fly down to dallas within the next 6 weeks (flexible on scheduling) and wanted to check see if anyone wanted to schedule a meet.
I obviously won't have a car down there, but would love to check out some of the texas cars, and texas nightlife. ;)
Plus, I might be able to bring some goodies along as well. I'll be staying with a friend in loisville (sp?) and he has only lived down there for a few months. He's wanted to get into audio again but has no contacts down there.
Anyone up for it?

Well Me and a few guys(not from this site though, its from ca.com) get together every month or so. We dont really call it a meet. We call it a DFW Build Day. because we meet and we basically share big tools(table saw, compressor,nailgun, etc) and brains when we help each other.
I never seen too many meets on this site for the Dallas area :(.
Also every other week there are bass/sq shows. I usualyl dont go to them because its in fortworth, and its very ghetto people that come for the most part...

i need someone to give me some structural critisizm. i'm stubborn as a damn mule when it comes to install for stealth reasons but presets 2-6 are up for grabs if someone wants to fiddle around.

I kinda figured.:p
well, I'd have my laptop, which has all my software on it. All I'd have to do is bring along my mic and we could do some measurements. (impulse responses, etc.)
We could also play around a little with some drc. :D
Hillbilly,
You could get a preset all the way to flat for future reference on tuning. normally a good starting point, and atleast gives you a head up on problem areas.
I'm still kicking around the idea to move down that way, so I'd love to meet as many as I can, and I'll spend as much time tuning or helping install as we can fit in.:D

It's Lewisville, FYI. And I'm down depending on when it is and where. I don't have much of a system, but I'm always cool with BSing/learning from others.
if I am in from work I would try to make it too.

You can most certainly get the BBQ, if you can eat laying on your back with your head under the dash. Seems a small stature Dr. from Mexico fits better than a fat truck driver from Texas. I'll do the hard part, GRILLING, while you work on my car. Ha-Ha.
I'd sure be game! :D :D :D
Actually, I have been hoping get together with some other hobbiest/competitors for a looooong time and seem to miss everything that comes remotely close to Dallas. Having never been to a competition, this would at least give a chance to see others systems, get some tips and tricks and such. Now that my install is finally close o complete - and my new hard drive based digitmedia player is on its way, I'd really love to see what others thought and learn a thing or two!!
I keep missing Foos - but I hope to meet up with him this weekend. Since I am unemployed, I don't know why its been so hard :D
Anyhow, PLEASE add me to the list and I'll do my best to be there.

We can do whatever, but when this was originally proposed by backwoods I really think he had more of a bigger place in mind. I'll be happy to host at my house but there isn't room for a whole bunch of people at once. I really think we need to rethink this and make some good plans. There is a lake a few blocks from my house, with a park where we could all congregate and then go back and forth to my house when we needed to use the table saw, router, etc. Now, my car is gutted, and to be honest I really need to get to work on it for the upcoming money round show in Tulsa. I'm also going to Biloxi for Scrapin the coast on the weekend of the 20th, and then going to Las Vegas with my family on the 30th for a weeks vacation, so June is really booked for me. I would like to shoot for the second week in July, what do ya'll think. Foos

2nd week in July is good.

We'd love to have you here since your system seems to be one of the more advanced in the area.

How about the 20th of July? My mom is in town on the 13th so i will be spending time with her and my family.
We'd love to have you here since your system seems to be one of the more advanced in the area.
Well thanks for the compliment, although I am really a rookie in this whole area. I've been a fan of music and sound systems since I was 9 and made a radio station in my closet... or was it when I was 4 and was playing the lampshade drums with the cardboard tube from a coathanger in my brother's band - lol. I hope you would still feel that way after you get a look/listen to my car =) The thing has put me in the poorhouse!
Offhand, Foos's sytem is probably the most tried and proven system that I am aware of in the area. While I do have decent gear, I've never been to a competition at all.... so its tuned to my standards only... which in truth is just fine for me lol. I think a few people might be interested in the little digital medai player I'm using - its really worthy of note I think... but that remains to be seen too. I really hope to figure out how I want to mount it and to fiberglass my tweeters into my kicks soon... can't seem to find the time though.
I'm going to throw up a suggestion to see if maybe a smaller group wants to get together maybe next weekend maybe, just so I can finally see someone elses system and hear how it sounds... its been bugging me to be so isolated for so long!
Its great that we are making the effort to do this though!

I don't know about that, but I know it does keep me busy. I am finally able to work a little in the garage, so I am installing the last of the deadener to the cabin of the car and laying my new wiring, so maybe my wife won't kill me. My interior is in my dining room right now.
There are lots of good systems in the area, just few compete these days either due to the politics, finances, etc.
July 13th sounds good to me. I may get back in time on the 20th too. I'm open for a smaller group too, but my car is in the building stages so don't expect to hear it till mid July or so. Foos

I just thought to throw it out there. there are a few shows,but not on that date though, where there is a local comp. It be nice to see more SQ people come. I have only been to a few shows.
Here is schedule I found:

06-16-2008, 11:28 AM
well the idea was to have it be an install/listening G2g so i would think it would be at someone's house so we have tools.
Well Foos has offered and he is pretty conveniently located.
If that fell through, I'd be happy to offer and have a pretty good collection of tools - table saw - drill press - scroll saw - nice drills - dremel - sanders - soldering irons - heat gun and such... but I'm not typically terribly organized and some things might take a bit to find.
Of course, I don't have a clue where I will be a month from now and I could be up in Michigan by that time unfortunately! The house would still be up for sale though likely - so maybe one of you would find a new place to live! lol - its a pretty nice house for a 1,700 sq ft two bedroom - lots of angles and tons of light... sort of artsy place. I'll miss it a lot!
We do need to get firm though and get this thing going if it is ever going to happen. Hell maybe we are over planning and should really just set a date - place and time... those who make it make it - those who don't get to enjoy round two! The only reason I say that is that last year a group fiddled around like this and never did a thing =)

would prolly be easier and cheaper if we just brought our own stuff from home to grill if someone wanted to bring a grill. i'll have a cooler full of water for sure. i'm at least 6 hours away from the dfw area but will be glad to help out where i can as far as getting this meet rolling.

This sounds like it is going to come together. I have a grill and smoker at my house, and the park has some too, but to be honest, this should be about the music and fellowship rather than the food. Lots of good fast food places withina few bolcks where we can just send someone after the stuff and concentrate on whats important. Those that committ to coming I will PM you my address to keep riffraff from knowing where there will literally be thousands of dollars of equipment at one time.

I think food is a great way to fellowship (or maybe I'm just fat). Food is one of the cornerstones of the Marv meets and I figure we could do something similar. I can understand, however, if you don't want to cook food at your house.
as this thread materializes into something with a date, if I am in from the coast I will be there. and look forward to it.

Now if ya'll really want a cool addition to the meet, look at my for sale thread. I'm trying to get the funds together to have an Audiocontrol SA3055 RTA on hand for us to use. See if there is anything listed you or anyone you know might be interested in. If I raise the dough through those sales I will have it by then.
This is NOT a plea for money, and NONE will be accepted, just trying to sell some stuff to get us this RTA in time for the meet.
I'm leaving for Vegas in a few hours and won't be back until Thursday night. Never can tell, I may have the money for it when I get back.

The details are really still in the works. This is building into more than I can handle at my house. I do have a park at a lake a few blocks from my house and as a homeowner in the subdivision I have access to the park and loading dock. What I recommend is we can meet at the park where there is lots of shaded parking, do our meet and greet there, and if some really needs access to tools they can come to the house. When this was proposed it was going to be rather small, but now seems like it is growing.

If you just need cuts I would be happy to do it for you. It might be easier if you just tell me what size you want and I can grab the wood, just bring you everything and you can pay me for the materials.

I dont want to steal this away from Foos if he really wants to have it at his place, I just thought I would offer another place because it seems like we might be outgrowing his.
My parents house we could fit 20-30 cars. The shop would hold 4 cars no problem, then the driveway beside the shop will hold 3 comfortably, we can put 4 or 5 in front of the shop and 3 or 4 more on the regular driveway. Plus the house is on a culdisac of three houses, so we could fit another 10 or 15 in the culdisac. We also have a big grill and a fridge in the shop for food and drinks... There are not really any wood working things here, but there are all the other tools, my dad and I built hot rods.
The house is in Corinth, so it is about 45 minutes north of the metroplex, which might help those who are coming down from OK. Once again, just wanted to offer this up and am not trying to steal the show from Foos.

Austin Heat Wave show is that same weekend.
That's the biggest show in Texas.

Maybe not compete in the show, but we can see/hear a lot of other cars.
I'm in either way.
Just another option.

Here's what I have at the house that should eleminate anyone else from bringing their own:
10" Table saw
Drill press
Router Table
Plunge router with Jasper jig already attached
Jig saw
Circular saw
Cordless and corded 1/2" drills
4" angle grinder
table top disc and belt sander
Batt charger, power supply,
air compressor
fairly extensive hand tools
soldering station
These will be available if it is to be at my house, just not alot of room for many projects going on at the same time. Also looks like I may have an RTA by then too.

i really like my re se12. gets loud, sounds good, cone doesn't flex under pressure causing distortion, and doesn't need a ton of power to get the job done. it's the perfect sub in my eyes for anyone who wants a sub that sounds good and still gets loud. my arc 12 sounded incredible until the power go poured to it. definately not made to get loud and is being saved for a more tame project.

WOW, I thought we all loved this sh1t!!!! and that if people who are able to afford high end eqpt. should not be told what they are or are not.... because they too could be spending hours on hours of their own time trying to learn to tune their own systems by reading forums like this and meet others that are also never quite happy with the sound of their systems but, always trying to tweak or purchase new pieces of eqpt to help them on this quest for better sound as well

it's the people who think high end equipment can compensate for poor tuning skills that that quote is directed at. i for one strive to get the best sound possible out of drivers that don't cost very much. nothing against people who can afford expensive gear as long as those people still realize tuning and install is still the number one factor for how the end result sounds;)

whether you ride with me or bring the anti-rice you'd still most likely not regret it one bit.

currently i'm in the middle of a burn-out phase but hope this meet will get my brain rolling again. i'm sure we all go through those phases. there just comes a time where other things have to become priority. while my system is done for now my next one will most likely involve an h701, similar 2-way front, probably the same 2 amps, maybe the same sub...gotta stay practical since afterall you can only fit so much in a single cab truck:o

You think you are in a burn out phase, I'm sitting here making MORE RCA's cuz I didnt like the layout on my new amp rack, here is what my wife is dealing with in order for me to be ready for this meet.

Gotta have a 'rita when you are doing all this boring ass wiring. Just hope I labeled it right. Ha-Ha

you'll find out soon enough:o
for me it's all about how it sounds. never been one for a show-quality wiring job but my heart goes out to all who take the time and effort to make it purdy!
the kit is looking pretty good there foos

i need to relocate my wiring back to where carl had it originally. moved the blocks to where i could put the linedriver next to them and that didn't work out thanks to a noise issue so the ld is up front in the passenger footwell. the dblocks are in somewhat of a dangerous position right now.

if I did that during the day in my house everything would be destroyed. My kids would find a way to get a hold of it and trash it!!!

Don't stop, Foos.
To further polish your RCA making skills, I think you should make me some.:o
On a serious note, you need to teach me how to make some.
I'm going to need custom ones for the new install.
Jorge.
foosman
07-07-2008, 12:23 PM
I'll teach you, or if time allows I'll even make them for you. Do you need them b4 the 20th?? If not, you can make them here. I have plenty of stuff for what I assume would be short proc to amp runs. I've got plenty of cables you can use to get up and running while we make custom length. Really pretty cool when you can do this: custom length

Hi guys,
I have looked for the info (time, place, ect) but can't seem to find the details.
what is the low down?
foosman
07-07-2008, 12:47 PM
As it stands it will be at my house, however this seems like it has grown to a point I didn't imagine. I have a private lake a few blocks from my house with a park and ramp that I have access to that has lots of shaded parking, and I am making my tools available to those who need them. When it was first proposed I thought I would have plenty of room for those interested but now I don't know. Anyway, look back a few pages and you will find the address. Thanks, Foos

The reason I asked is that is the same weekend as Texas Heatwave in austin.
Will anyone be attending Heatwave?

so far its gonna be at foosman100's house and the park near his house. When it gets closer to the date a pm will be sent out to all who are going with the location so you can plug it into a map program to find your way as well as for security reasons.

Hey foos, who makes that distro/fused block you are using? I am looking for something just like that.
Thanks

07-07-2008, 04:59 PM
Audison Model SFD41C, hold on to your britches tho, they are retail about 225.00.

Well at that price I think I will pick up two... =(

I need them for version 0987340 of the amp rack, but not before the meet.
Sounds like a plan, teach me how to make them.
And yes, just short runs. The longest one would be maybe 1.2 feet.

streetwires makes one similar for under a bill. would be perfect for my application but i'm a tightwad. might check pe though just to see.
foosman
07-07-2008, 06:40 PM
Yeah, streetwires makes one very similar but seems to be out of stock most places. I've seen em for as low as 55.00. I just use Audison to keep the theme the same.
Hillbilly SQ
07-07-2008, 06:45 PM
just checked pe and it wasn't even listed. i'll just make do with what i have. damn, i've been around my ultra thrifty nana too much:blush:
foosman
07-07-2008, 06:57 PM
Thrifty is a GOOD thing my friend. This is an expensive hobby and we all need to learn to cut corners where we can.
Hillbilly SQ
07-07-2008, 07:23 PM
i know. yet sometimes you just gotta know where doing it right the first time will end up being cheaper. i don't know how much time and money i wasted building boxes and racks that i just didn't have it in me to get done to my liking. then i hooked up with carl (unpredictableacts), told him what i wanted and what limitations the install had to have, and he made it happen. unless something tragic happens i'll never need another box or amprack built as long as i own this truck. could even transfer it to another truck if it's laid out the same and get it recovered if needed.
but on wiring and stuff like that i quit using the walmart wire that i always had trouble with corroding. switched to the monster 15awg with the voodoo dielectric in the middle and it can't get it to corrode. have a stripped piece of it in the shop and several months later it's just as fresh as can be.
stretching a dollar is what it's all about and had to change my way of thinking to get financially back on track.

Can't wait to hear it, I don't think my sub will be up and ready for the meet, but with HAT midbass you dont really miss it. I've got them playing down to 40 hz.

maybe we should firm up a time when to meet and if/what we should bring in terms of food, drinks, etc.

WOW, down to 40hz....how much power are you running to them?
I can't wait to hear a set of HAT's in person....:D

Foos is giving them 260 Audison watts.
My L8's also run down to 40 Hz with 300 JL Watts.

Texas weather being what it is I would recommend we get an early start, somewhere around 9am or so. I know a few of us will have to work the next day, plus others will be having to travel to get home. Now, I don't know how it is done, but we need to start a definitive list on who is coming so I can do some planning on this end. Someone that knows how please post a list that people can add their names to.
