T3 Audio: Breaking SPL Records & Windshields

Last year at Spring Break Nationals the guys from T3 Audio represented in the SPL portions of the event with 2-Year World Champion Gorman Cassidy's Chevy Astro, Danny Britain's DB Monster orange Toyota Truck, David Mackey's Chevy Blazer, all placing first in their classes (Details in the press release after the break). 
So the guys at T3 have made a name for the brand as one of the loudest woofers around, and nothing says loud like blowing a windshield clean out of your demo car! But apparently that's a normal thing for the T3 guys. Most hardcore competitors carry a spare woofer or cone-swap, but not many have to make sure to include a spare windshield or two in the tool box!
I spoke with T3's owner, Johnathan Demuth this morning and he gave me the low-down on what to expect at Spring Break Nationals this March. Check out the details and actual video of a T3 system obliterating their demo van's windshield at SBN last year.

in the forums!

SBN 2008:
T3 will have three vehicles there:

• BIG Bob Perillo from Maine. He does 170db in a daily driven van, plays 50Hz, and launched 3 windshields at Db Drag Racing world finals last year.
• T3 will have John's personal demo van there sporting FORTY of the TSS10" subwoofer supplied by over 40,000 watts of power. The van will be entered in IASCA's Bass Boxing competition. Yes, that's forty 10" subs and 40,000 watts of power!
• Gorman Cassidy's Astro van will be there.
• Miek Langford and his 168.8dB, 640,000 watt Black Astro Van.

According to T3, Gorman and Bob own the two loudest "daily driven" vehicles on the planet, both pushing 169.5+ on the Term Lab SPL meter. Very impressive to say the least and I look forward to running into these guys at Spring Break Nationals!

Press Release:

Daytona Beach, March 23-24th 2007
T3 Audio Competitors Break World Records and windshields!!

The weather was hot, and so was the competition at the Spring Break show in Daytona Beach Florida. Leading the team, was seasoned veteran Gorman Cassidy, with his white/silver Chevy Astro van loaded down with 4 T3 Audio TSNS 18" subwoofers. Being the class World Champion 2 years in a row, Gorman was ready to take on all challengers. He defeated his closest competition by 3db!!! Gorman scored an amazing 168.8db in the Superstreet 3-4 division of Db Drag racing.

T3 Audio competitor, Danny Britain, was driving over the competition with his DB Monster Orange Toyota Truck. Danny took first place in Super Street 1-2 in Db Drag Racing, as well as setting a huge new world record in the Iasca IDBL Advanced 2 class, with a score of 168.1db! This gave him two first place trophies, a world record, and bragging rights for the season.

David Mackey also surprised the competition with his amazing Blue Chevy Blazer. Normally known for his Bass Race skills, the crowd was expecting a big number from the blazer, which was now loaded with 2 18" T3 TSNS woofers. When the clock started, David dropped the hammer, with ten thousand watts per woofer. Three seconds into his run, the windshield shattered into tiny pieces flying into the crowd... which in turn affected his score greatly. Davids Blazer, is without a doubt, the loudest 2 woofer Bass Race machine on the planet!

Other T3 Audio Competitors Team 420 Rooney Bianco, and Pro Trucks Mike Langford, both took home second place trophies with amazing scores as well. These guys are both soon to be on the top of the SPL arena.
