Nearly 4 years later, my 2001 Team DC Audio build

I decided this time to get an extra stuff spider pack, the new tall roll surrounds and 3ft direct leads for easier wiring. This was in august and they are still stiff right now. Seem to be gaining as I play them though which is awesome.

Prep work done. Really forgot how much fun it is grinding the baskets. Just think of cutting onions that have been soaking in acetone. It’s awful. Lol.
Reconed them all in a couple days.
All done!
Nice thing about direct leads. Just run them straight to the enclosure and kept my wiring ocd in check

All done and installed just a few days before the show.

First test already looking like it’s metering louder. (Last year best was a 156.03)
I decided this year to put my truck in the car show so needed to seal up my filler neck door. Welded the hole shut, grinded smooth and covered it with some tractor enamel black that surprisingly blends perfect with my truck paint lol. (Same stuff I did the whole engine bay with)

Surf was awesome per usual. Never bringing two rigs two hours away again though it was stressful and a pain prepping everything etc. but still a good time. Nice to have both my babies together at an event though.
And much to my surprise the Tahoe did a 156.9! Almost a full db gain just with some fresh soft parts in the subs.

Brought home 3 more first place trophies with the Tahoe so it was a rewarding weekend!

Few more surf city pics.

Saw someone post these on a fb page. Almost identical to the og apc clears just slightly smoked. Gonna have these be my main set probably winter then bring the apc out on occasion maybe but would rather risk these getting messed up or weathered and they really blend pretty nicely for being smoked.

NW IASCA regionals was a great but long show. Finally the Tahoe holds over a 55 on music which has been my goal with it forever. Put up my best bass boxing scores. Took the NW regional championship for advanced no wall 1 and bassboxing lightweight!

Couple of guys lost windshields that day too which is always interesting to see

Didn’t get many pics but this was in centralia Washington. Didn’t finish the show till almost 9. Started heading back 3hr drive home……less than 20 miles in and I lose the inner 1” of tread on my front tires. Limped it to my girls place in Washington and unfortunately les schwab was the only place that would get me tires around southern Washington. 1700 dollars later ughhh. So now I have continental extreme contact dws tires.

Had another show with USACI at the local drag strip. They place the meter in the passenger side kick panel. Which still are scores regardless but I don’t really count them because you aren’t feeling that pressure unless you put your head in the footwell hahaha. But still cool to try something different. Did a 158.3 then a 156.3 average on a full minute of music.
Friend got a rolling shot although their camera made it look warped lol

Also been seeing this joe Gibbs Tahoe rolling around my local area. Wish I could find those side skirts for mine

Got new wheels for my pickup. Some 18’s defintiely fit it nicely. Was slightly worried with the fact they are black/polished lip(instant flashbacks of my ****** prelude in high school on motegi wheels with that color lol )
But I think they accent the truck nicely I’m quite stoked on them

World finals was in my hometown at the fairgrounds. Nice not having to drive. Also was the kickoff/season opener for 2023. I didn’t compete in finals but did for the kickoff. First indoor show we have done which was interesting to say the least haha.

If you have been following my build thread it might be known or probably obvious I absolutely love oem style clear lights. Been hoping someone would make clear style oem tails for our tahoes ever since I got mine. And as of today I got my set!! Got home late so the pics are dark and Tahoe is dirty. Gonna wash it and get some more pics in the daylight. I am so excited been waiting for this forever.
