Been a long time.......... MEGA UPDATE!!!

Its been far too long since I updated the Blog and with things picking back up for the 2011 competition season I thought I had better update it quick!

Alot has happened since the previous blog update so will try and list it in reverse order!

Sponsorship

Anyone following the blog and build on www.talkaudio.co.uk will know that Project Big Black is no longer being sponsored by Connects2 as they no longer distribute Ground Zero in the UK. I wanted to say a big thanks to the guys at Connects2 (Andy, Martin, Mike and Mark) for the help with getting Project Big Black to where it is today.  Also a massive thanks to Adam Rayner - the Car Audio Svengali whos caeer I have avoided ruining by making sure PBB made some serious noise, so thanks guys



Propper Dropper Finals

One of the last competitions of 2010 Project Big Black competed in was the Propper Droppers UK Finals held at a very wet Arena Essex Raceway in October  I managed to come in at 1st place with the following scores

153.3@20Hz
157@25Hz
157@33Hz
156.7Hz@40hz
Peak of 157.2@34Hz

156.2 average 

The rest of my highest scores for the year where combined to give an overall loudest install EVER in Propper Droppers

Total Average= 156.8dB

Peak= 157.2dB @ 34Hz
40Hz= 156.7dB
33Hz= 157.0dB
25Hz= 157.0dB
20Hz= 156.3dB  

EMMA ESPL FINALS

On 8th October myself and Ian 'hotwheels' Edgar set off to the EMMA European Finals @ the Ahoy 100% Tuning show in Rotterdamn Holland.  I was entered into the ESPL Master catagory so took Project Big Black over to show the europeans how the UK do Streetbass!

The show was really busy but there was a strict bass curfew enforced by the venue which only allowed 3mins of booming every 30mins!!!  We arrive kind of late on the first day and was only on the Team UK stand for about an hour before I had the install portion of the competion judged.  I knew PBB could make some noise but the install judging was the section I was nervous about.  I dropped only one point for some MDF on display in the amp build - not too bad at all considering the work I had put in to make sure the fusing was all safe!!!.

Here are a few pics from the show plus some videos - Big Thanks to Ian Edgar for the great array if pics you see here

As someone on Talkaudio said to me - you know you have made in car audio when you have bass royalty Mr Ian 'ICEMAN' Pinder holding your doors shut on a bass run.  Ians Van couldn't make it out to the show (He qualified ahead of me in the EMMA UK Finals) but he flew out to support Team UK.  Its a shame the Astra wasnt there as between us it would have been an awesome final in the lanes

More of this video later

 

Here you can see the guys from Debunker Audio giving PBB their seal of approval

On Saturday I managed to put down a huge score doors open (158db I think it was - the oudest EMMA ESPL score ever although it was with the Ground Zero/EMMA mic which seems to read about 6db up on the Termlab)  Also after speaking to Alex I was able to do a full on burp with the mic in place which saw me  doing 164db!)

Sunday saw the Finals and I managed to get even louder hitting 158.5db with the doors open which managed to get me the championship title :)

It was an amazing weekend with lots of new friends made!
