No, just an idea of how to handle the crowd. If it stays small then yeah, maybe some grub. I have a grill and a smoker at the house, but that's only good for a small group.

You are welcome to come by early if you like, but I must warn you, Doitor and I will be nothing but A**holes and elbows trying to have two TEAM HYBRID vehicles ready for ya'll to listen to. Plus holding on to our wallets since his wife is making the trip from Mexico just to go shopping. Of course my wife veiws this as an opportunity as well.

you should have seen me and carl when we were doing an install in ziggy's truck with only a couple hours of daylight left:pi was being ugly that day:blush:ran 1/0, 2 runs of 16awg into each door (he wanted to do twisted 12awg but no dice on boot clearance), remote turn-on, 3 rca cables, and i think that's about it in less than an hour by myself!
alright just give a definate time and i'll be there on the nose.

It appears that I'll still be around.. and within a few miles of Foo's house. Happy to be able to meet so many of you too! This is looking like a good group!!
There is a park not too far from my house-and also a lake park not too far from Foos's if it gets too big. Foos, if you need a hand, I'll be happy to assist however so it doesn't all fall on you.
See you soon!

I have a 75 amp battery charger too with jump start.
Ok, it looks like there will be a little over a dozen people, and that number is managable for some simple food. All it will be is some hot links, summer sausage, and hot dogs on the grill. Not even burgers since you have to have all the stuff to go with them. We will have all that plus the mustard, ketchup, relish, onions etc. Also have some chips and maybe some beans too. There will be a tip jar out for anyone who wants to make a contribution, but none is necessary or expected. Only thing I ask is you bring whatever you want to drink. There will be a couple ice chests available and we have 2 refrigerators too. This will be fun, eating and all, but lets remember what this was for. The music, listening and sharing ideas, and like I said my tools will be available for those who may need access. Sorry, doesn't look like the RTA thing is going to work out in time.

07-15-2008, 07:24 PM
As far as I am concerned the time frame should start early b4 it gets too hot. I'm saying around 9am or so. We can meet here at the house, some stay here, some go down to the park for any loud activities, those that need the tools naturally will stay here. Do a few hours like that, have some grub, and see how it goes from there. I don't know about all of you, but my wife and I both have to get up for work at 4am Monday so it needs to wrap up fairly early. You can always pick up and take it elsewhere if people aren't done yet.

i wanna be as loud as possible and annoy those around me. don't care how it sounds. and the subs MUST be able to handle mega power as i have a 10000 watt hifonics amp that i got for 200 off egay. oh, i only have about $150 2 spend on a couple fifteenz. thoughts?:rolleyes:
yeah i agree that all of us are past the booming down the block stage and much more geared for staying polite. not saying some of our systems aren't capable of annoying but you get my drift:p

Thats sad, and we all hate it, but you missing this meet won't impact the illness or your support of your friend. You have been planning, and looking forward to this for a long time. This is a rare occurance in my experience and you should not deprive yourself of a few hours.
foosman
07-18-2008, 05:44 AM
Looks like we can look forward to about 2 dozen cars, give or take a few, so that number seems quite manageable. We can all meet here at the house, and then move en mass to the park or break it up however you like. I'm assuming there really isn't that much "work" that needs to be done as from what I have seen most peoples cars are fairly complete. The tools will be available. Jonny call me to schedule pick up of your MDF. I sent you an email.
We are all looking forward to this. I'm assuming since everyone is on the computer you can just mapquest directions to my house, but if anyone needs further directions just call my cell.

My car is "ready".

It's just for the meet.

give me a rundown on how to operate the unit and i'll sit in his ride as long as it takes as long as i'm able to run the a/c.
as far as how to act, just be courtious. treat everyone else like you would want to be treated.

I am sorry to say that the RTA thing did not materialize in time for this meet. I would like to tell people that I have a great friend that is a WORLD CLASS tuner, ex competitor, ex IASCA judge, that I have access to if someone REALLY< REALLY wants their car tuned professionally. He used to be the tuner for TEAM KICKER back in the day. His name is Robert Ables if any of you old timers can dredge up your memory from that far back he was, and still is THE MAN. I have invited him to come for a few hours in case anyone wants to contract his work. He took my car with it's initial equipment to it's first win and always tunes for me anytime I make any major changes.
Just thought I would post this to see if there is any interest. Here's one of his projects:
http://www.carsound.com/features/eldridge_evolution.html
http://www.carsound.com/features/eldridge_sbr.html
Look at Marks sidebar at the bottom of the page where he is thanking people and see who is on the top of the list. That shows the caliber of person we are dealing with here.

mine has no door panels in it (pic's of the new ones will be up soon though :D )
mine should have no speakers in it, as I dont have time to seal the door up good and kills the midbass and lets the speakers move to much and make bad noises.

It was AWESOME to meet all of you today. There are some very nice systems out there - I took away some great ideas. Damn you Jorge, you made me want to buy more stuff! :p
Special thanks to Robert Ables for taking the time to impart some of his tuning knowledge on us. And of course, a big thanks to Foos and his better half for having such a rag-tag bunch of guys over in the first place. The food was GREAT!
Cheers.

I want to echo blacksaphire's sentiments, thank you all and it was wonderful meeting everyone and hearing all the systems. It was an incredible learning experience. I hope we can do this often, should we start planning the next meet...

It was cool to meet everyone today, putting some faces to the usernames. It was nice to heard different systems and experience different tastes in music and how systems should sound. Opened my eyes and gave me ideas ;)
Special thanks to Foosman (Dave) and his wife for hosting the event and our "special guest" Robert Ables for his expertise and advice. Props for all the people that made the the drive even from 8 hours away! Hopefully we can make this a regular thing :)

ditto on the good time and ideas! plus the food was awsome (brownies.... mmmm!)
just the chance to hear some GOOD systems was worth the 2 hour drive, and the gas to get there :( damn $4/gal
but still, well worth it
foosman
07-20-2008, 06:47 PM
For my part this was a very good start to what should be a regular thing. Everyone was great, very respectful, and seemed to have a good time. Got to hear some great cars, get some ideas from others, and let people hear my car which they either seemed to enjoy, or were too polite to say otherwise.
Robert stopping by was a special treat, as his knowledge is vast and he is more than willing to share. For those interested in the disc he shared with us, as soon as I can figure out how to send it to the ones that are interested I will do so. Just let me know, and if you know how I can do it PM with instructions.
It was too hot to take many pics, but here are a few from the ones I took. Anyone else have any please share also.
Thanks again guys, a real good turn out. Foos
By the way, Jorge wins the furthest distance award (Mexico) (sorry there isn't one) but there were some other great distances that people traveled (Ark, 2 from OK, Witchita Falls, Tyler, etc.) so that only proves this hobby is alive and strong, and will continue to get better.

By the way, Foos I left a couple CDs sitting on the AC unit.
Also, does anyone remember what 2 frequencies Robert said are probably way to loud in all cars... I was thinking it was 200 and 2000, sound right?

Definitely wanna give Foos and his wonderful wife many props for hosting such a great event!!! There were some terrific systems there and it really opened my eyes to some great ideas. I agree with AZN that this needs to be a regular thing.
Foos yer car sounded world class and I will not BS you!!!!
Maybe someday I can come by and use yer tools and get my system off the ground.

Thanks Foos (and the better half with those brownies). It was great to hear your and doriters car, they sounded great. great to hear the spread from hillbillys budget system up to the full hybrid setups.
Thanks to everyone for letting me waste a bit of gas as I was listening, hopefully ill get the seats back into my car sometime this week...:o
And ItalynStylion, arent you the one jacking your system in that pic?

I can't wait until it cools down. A fall meet will be nice! We can actually work/tune on our cars or just hang around outside without risking an am-bu-lance ride.

I want to thank Foos and the Misses for having us over. and that I really enjoyed getting to meet everyone and hear some others cars. i would def be up for another one as long as t he work schedule allows.

i made it home and didn't let any grass grow behind me either.
thanks foos and foos wifey.
brea couldn't figure out what that smell was on me and looked at me like i had cheated on her:p
one common thing about the foos and jorge mobile was those hybrid drivers seem to have a "different" sonic signature. both cars sounded good in their own special way.
roberts tuning is really growing on me. being used to louder than normal tweets is taking the new tuning some getting used to. i'm hearing A LOT of stuff i've never heard before now that the midrange is more pronounced.
my favorite system of the meet was the italian. i'm already thinking about a triplet of those tangbang 6.5's;)

yeah, those 6.5s were nice.
were there any changes to your crossovers? Im curious as I have the ID mids to play with...

yeah, those 6.5s were nice.

he simply dropped the hp on the mids down to 80hz at 12db vs the 100hz 12db they were on and dropped the sub down to 50hz 24db from the 80hz 24db it was on before. he also moved my cut in the upper midbass down to 250vs the 315hz i had cut. i'll have to look but the changes to the eq were minor. he just brought the tweets and sub down quite a bit but said my tweets were eq'd pretty good the time alignment was good too.
speaking of the system being jacked, that's me giving the italian a hand with it so i can put those lil subs in my truck:p

Just made it home, sure was a great time today meeting a bunch of SQ oriented people, even in the heat time flew by, I still didn't get to hear everything or visit with everybody. Thanks to Foos and his wife for opening up their house to us and for cooking all that great food!
Chi chi.....I'll have to catch up with you sometime cause I still wanna hear your car! I had more to do today so had to leave.....:(
I really gotta get something in my car now!

Awesome meet, guys.
It was great meeting you all and putting faces to you forum names.
Had a blast the entire weekend.
My only complain is that I had to drive Foos around all Saturday in that horrible Shelby of his.:D
Well, that and also that my wife and Foosman's wife went on a 15 hout shopping mission Saturday and now we are both broke.:o
It was also great to have Robert tune my car. All of you Dallas guys need to take advantage of him. He's a world class tuner and you have him right there in town.
Now I need to sleep.

I didn't get to hear Italians car, but heard Chi Chi's (Damn He's big) and that car has real potential. I had suggested a set of enhancement tweets to raise the stage and I'll be damned if that isn't what Robert suggested. Maybe I am learning a little something along the way.
Diddn't heard less' civic either, but he is local and always trying to get together so I will have an opportunity soon I'm sure.
