Team Bassick Builds Big Boom In A Burban

Team Bassick's Jason "Alpine" Evans has been documenting their Suburban SPL build and have posted up a ton of photos of the progress over on Steve Meade's forum, SteveMeadDesigns.com. The guys are building a complete steel square tube cage frame on the inside to keep the planned massive amounts of pressure in check. SoundDomain's Deafy negotiated with Fi to build some purpose-built  18" Fi BTLs (Similar to what Mr. Steve Meade is running in the Tahoe), which will be driven by four, yes four, of Stetsom's 7KDs. The 7KDs are pretty amazing mono amps, delivering a measly 2400 watts at 4-ohms and up to 7000 watts RMS when driven at 1-ohm! I guess that's why the truck was upgraded to run two alternators juicing out 19-volts and a total of 14 Kinetik KHC-16 batteries (that's 16V each...). They even went so far as to have custom wiring made for all the power connections, printing the Team's name on the wire jacket! The overall goal is to break the 160dB mark. We wish them well and we'll keep you posted on the progress. Oh yeah, and he's already gone through 300' of steel tubing and 200' of 2/0 wire!

Jason's Story, According to SoundDomain's Deafy:

"He's a new competitor, started participating in Bassrace in 2007 and has been very successful. He constantly upgraded and improved as time went on and was invited to and competed in the 2007 dbDrag finals in the San Mateo, CA, location. Only 75 points are needed to compete at finals; he had 223 his first season! Jason well enough through Regionals to advance to Nationals, where he placed 2nd. Unfortunately first place was needed to advance to World Finals. Not bad especially for his first year Bassracing.

After changing everything out five or so times, he wanted to go big and make a statement by chasing after Bob Perillo.

This build was kind of expedited due to the fact his daily driver/bassrace vehicle threw a rod in the middle of this season. His goal is to have the Suburban respectable by finals...doubt there would be any fancy door panels by then. Simply not enough time."

We wish him the best of luck and we'll keep you in the loop!
