You have a very nice audio system and write up on your equipment Jim! Its a small world, my best best friend is Gary Biggs who works and competes with Mark Eldridge at Kicker!
Gary's IASCA & USAC World Champion Buick use to be my car! 
Here is a link to a magazine article and pics of my former ride!My former Buick Regal
Heh, small world aint it? I met mark...er, actually, spoke to Mark, through a friend Bill Williams, who worked with Richard and Dave Navone when AutoSound2000 was in its infancy. I met Dave in oh, 88 or 89 while he was up visiting Bill, who went on to comment on how nice my car looked/sounded. He even lent his ear on many an occasion to help me get the time delay right when I was running a Rane Xover/Delay, and tweaking the octaves with an Alesis MEQ230. I gave up on those pieces because despite Pat at AS2000 setting the power supplies up, I couldnt get the connections to stay clean. I guess headphone jacks arent meant for a car audio environment. Every week I'd haveta pull my trunk apart, emery all the connections, and re-snot them w/dialectric. And wouldnt you know it, in the middle of a IASCA SQ test, the damn things failed...so much for the perfect 30 right? So out came those pieces and in went the Symmetry. It doesnt have time delay, but I had planned on adding the DSP for that. Despite NOT having any delay, I got the thing to image remarkably well and think I score a 28 out of 30 at the last event I attended. I have the sheet somewhere I never got the DSP in it and started falling behind in the technology. My car was a dinosaur with all the new competitors using linear actuators, fiberglass, and neon. I couldnt bring myself to redesign and spend MORE $ that I didnt have, so the car just became enjoyed and not competed in.
I tell ya, the stuff you down and dirty guys are doing is simply amazing. I just dont have the time anymore. It was fun while it lasted, and I truley enjoy the time in my car, I'll never be back in the "upper crust" of the audio world like you guys.
Thanks for the comment on my car.

I gave up competition also due to "lack of time" but I enjoy it more so as a hobby so I don't get burned out. Gary has been bugging me about getting back into competition and has offered me a full sponsorship from Kicker but with my Job and manditory overtime, I couldn't make the schedule
