Setting up a small (although no actual limit) meet for February 4th in Pulaski. The park itself is located 5 minutes from I-81, address 5100 Alexander Rd, Dublin, VA 24084. In February, we'll have no issues using the big shelter and having power available. Plenty of hotels right off the interstate.

I'll likely plan to head down Friday afternoon, potentially dinner at Als on First, then Saturday at the park. Bearing in mind it'll likely be pretty chilly, but so far, the weather has been good. So you'll want to bring warm clothing. We've had a winter meet twice I believe, both times the sun was shining.

I see an Audi had to drop out so I figure I can fill that spot. Will head up on Saturday. Only 3 hours away for me. Glad I have seat warmers!

I will bring some tuning tools if anyone needs some help.

You really helped me out in NC. My Midbass has never been better.

Oddly enough I'm less interested in any tuning being done for me.....especially being that i'm going to be redoing a majority of it; I'm more interested in sharing ideas with the guys...maybe at the dinner table and carrying it over to the actual meet...and receiving some insight into what I'm thinking of doing and helping me shape the idea into something that could work. I'm excited about the guest list so far and hope that it can hold tight until the day of....I know things happen but I'm hoping none of us have to back out and the ones who had to can maybe work some things out and make their way out.

Re-read this and it's very verbose, lol.

Or...3D printer. Or take another off and copy it in ABS.

Working on it now.

If you're serious, you could actually mill some aluminum

That (and 1/8" steel) was also a thought.

Seems so. Got an arm and it’s on, but I also noticed that the actual sensor housing is cracked.

You can see it where plug comes into the unit in the above photo.

So that’s on the way along with two arms.

Currently have it back on the ground and I recalibrated the system. Going to cross my fingers and take the boy to a hearing appointment in it.

Edit:

In town and everything is working.

Well, air ride seems fixed (as long as the cracked sensor holds up) so I did a quick re-tune tonight.

I’m still not 100% sold on the Dirac units. Part of it is cool, part of it is a PITA.

Anyway, here’s a couple of videos from this evening. Funny seeing those TM65s do their thing in the dash.

Oh…and the meet is NEXT weekend. 🤦‍♂️

For some-odd reason I thought it was this weekend. 😐

Anyway, looks like I should be there so you guys can see/hear how poorly this odd-ass setup works.

Looking forward to checking it out, last time I saw it was Hickory last year when it was still right at the beginning of the process.

That was the 2-way setup.

This one is the 3-way so I’ve obviously done more wrong since then. If the internet is correct, it should be much worse. 😂

Oh, it'll sound terrible then, especially if the Internet has spoken.

Oh, it’s going to totally suck.

I suggest earmuffs not due to the cold, but the way it’s going to sound.

Earplugs too. Can’t be too careful. Double up.

The SPL side of it is a riot. I need a lot of reinforcement and sound treatment.
