German Competitors Team BS of Walkertshofen, Germany brought their vehicle to
Nashville, Tennessee for dB Drag Racing World Finals and obliterated the competition
at the 2002 dB Drag Racing World Finals. Their mark of 177.6 decibels (dB) was nearly
two decibels louder than the previous record, also set by Team BS at the dB Drag Racing
European Finals on October 4, 2002 in Bern, Switzerland. Led by Wolfgang Fischer, the
team is made up of twelve hobbyists from Germany. Wolfgang Fischer, Roger Jesse, Robert
Schmid, Jochen Resch, Jörg Völkl, and Manfred Burkhard made the journey to America, and
Joachim Hössle, Peter Unterreiner, Bernd Fischer, Schigg Gerhard, Stefan Magerl, and
Gerolf Owesle remained in Germany during the show.

Team BS used a highly modified Volkswagen Type III fitted with bullet-proof glass and a
cabin strengthened with steel, wood, and concrete. Their van tips the scales at
approximately 14,000 pounds (approximately 6300 kilograms). Team BS used sixteen TREO
Engineering CSX12.09X subwoofers and sixty-four Directed 1100d amplifiers running on a
sixteen volt electrical system. Team BS estimates 100,000 watts of amplifier power was
on tap in their van. Many other competitors at the World Finals were using quad voice
coil subwoofers, but Team BS used dual voice coil subwoofers to set their steel-bending
SPL record.
Team BS took home the crown in dB Drag Racing’s Extreme 13+ class by recording a 177.6
dB score on their final run. The second place team, Team Pure Sounds of Ozark, Missouri
recorded a score of 175.0 dB. In the realm of dB Drag Racing Extreme vehicles, 2.7 dB is
a wide margin. In their previous run Team BS had recorded a score of 177.7 dB.
Team BS won the coveted dB Drag Racing Extreme Cup. The Extreme Cup is a perpetual trophy
that is awarded to the dB Drag Racing Association's overall World Record holder each season.
"It takes a tremendous amount of time, energy, and money to build a vehicle of this caliber,"
said Wayne Harris, president and founder of the dB Drag Racing Association. "This trophy is
intended to recognize that effort." TREO Engineering is extremely proud of Team BS for taking
home the Extreme Cup and winning the very competitive Extreme 13+ class. What is truly amazing
is that these achievements were possible so soon after Team BS first started using TREO.
Within these past 90 days, they were able to beat their own personal best score, and then go
on to win the German, European, and World dbDrag finals with a world record!
For the third consecutive year no TREO Engineering subwoofers failed in the competition lanes
at dB Drag Racing World Finals. Even Team BS’s woofers, taking over 6,000 watts per speaker
were able to take the power with no failures. Team BS also used the woofers in the five-minute
Deathmatch competition. Deathmatch is the most grueling type of SPL competition and it is not
uncommon for every amplifier and speaker in a vehicle to fail while going for the sought after
Deathmatch trophy. Team BS did not have any equipment failures in the Deathmatch. Unbelievably,
Team BS used the same speakers at dB Drag Racing German Finals, dB Drag Racing European Finals,
dB Drag Racing World Finals, and the Deathmatch. Craig Smith, Vice President of Zooss
International who handles international sales and technical support for TREO Engineering calls
this “A great testament to the reliability, performance, and durability of TREO Engineering
subwoofers.”

Eddie Koski of El Dorado Springs, Missouri set a MECA World Record at MECA World Finals October 9-10,
2002 in Shepherdsville, KY. Eddie used two TREO Engineering CSX15.22 subwoofers and two U.S.Amps 2000X
amplifiers in a Nissan Hardbody truck to set a new MECA Drive By Sound Pressure Level (DBSPL) record.
Eddie scored 127.6 decibels (dB) driving by a microphone at a distance of six feet. Eddie was over two
decibels louder than the second place finisher. Hats off to Eddie and his shop Koski Enterprises for
their great achievement. Eddie really is pounding the pavement!
Eddie Koski also finished third in the very competitive M5 class with a score of 154.7 dB. The two
competitors who finished ahead of Eddie had at least double the available amplifier power.

at dB Drag Racing World Finals. Team BS ran the same sixteen CSX12.09X subwoofers
with over 6,000 watts per driver in all rounds and the grueling five minute deathmatch
with no equipment problems. Team BS's van housed a mind-blowing sixty-four Directed
1100D amplifiers.

Several other competitors ran TREO Engineering subwoofers without any equipment problems.
Mike Loomis ran an incredible sixteen Memphis 1000D amplifiers on his pair of TREO
Engineering CSX15.15Q quad voice coil subwoofers in his Super Street 1-2 Jeep Cherokee.
Joe McDermid ran twenty-four Crossfire 1000D amplifiers on six TREO Engineering CSX15.09X
dual voice coil subwoofers in his camouflage-painted Chevrolet Blazer. Todd "Fester" Carter
powered his pair of TREO Engineering CSX15.15 subwoofers with eight MTX Audio 81000D
amplifiers in his Super Street No Wall Dodge Caravan. This was Todd's first year competing
in dB Drag Racing. TREO Engineering wishes Todd and all other competitors running TREO
subwoofers the best of luck in 2003.

championship-winning SPL monster, a Volkswagen Type III van to Nashville,
Tennessee, in time for the dB Drag Racing World Finals, November 2-3,
