yea dave was the person that told me about it. but the problem with dave is he is computer illiterate. or close to it lol.

i have a very hard time communicating with the guy over the internet, and subsequently he has no pictures, much less pictures on his computer he can show me. i just like seeing the installs and getting ideas... but as far as how the system is designed i have a pretty good idea... equipment used is not super important to me because im not planning on duplicating their installations.

basically i am just curious if there were any good pictures out there of any car as such. my friend is getting a cool classic car - i forget what kind, but its a boat with bench seats. and im prolly going to try and build kicks into the floorboard under the stock carpet. should be cool. i tried to convince him to back seat (or at least move the front seat back) but i dont think he is for that lol.

anywho. thanks for the help, and its nice to see you are still lurking like me squeak.

I have the CA&E that it was featured in back in the early 90's. I'd post scans but the mag is in Vegas and I'm in Afghanistan. Amps were mounted in the footwells under glass. The guage cluster was in the ceiling. Speakers were Protech with an Altec (IIRC) tweet. The speaks were mounted along the front edge of the cabin in line with the front of the door. Steering column was extended and hinged so the driver could swing it out of the way to get in and out of the car. Pretty sure that the thing was only driven into and out of the lanes (not a DD) as required by IASCA rules. 4 AC EQTs used. One stereo pair for listening, a single (mono) for RTA and a single (mono) for SPL. It was in a LeMans.

thanks for the link but sadly that is not a back seat driver. if he had gotten rid of the front seats and relocated steering\pedals\shifter\center console to the back seats.
then it would be sweet.but i still dont understand why he has his midbass behind him

The "waveguides" in that car were prototypes, they would get pretty low. But that is the part where you have to be a good "salesman". Richard could win a show with total crap if he wanted to. The judges just assume he is gonna have the right stuff when he gets to the show period. That is why I feel it is a waste of time to compete in IASCA. I am in no way saying that car wasn't unbelievable, I heard it, it was very good. My all time favorite.
