ASK SQ COMPETITORS WHICH CAR THEY WOULD MOST LIKE TO TEAR INTO AND DISCOVER ITS SECRETS, AND THEIR ANSWERS WOULD MOST LIKELY BE THE SAME - GARY BIGGS' SEVEN-TIME WORLD CHAMPION BUICK REGAL. Everybody in the industry knows this car, in at least one of its many forms. Biggs' Regal is considered by many to be the most famous, or infamous to some, vehicle in car audio. In an industry known for smoke and mirrors, the Regal's inner workings could be considered an automotive Houdini. What looks complicated and intricate is a simple facade, and what looks simple took serious engineering to facilitate proper acoustics. There are the usual tricks of the trade that gamer points in competition - unique installation, sliding amps, lots of Dynamat. Then there are the over and above feats of engineering and acoustical design that really take the Regal to new heights. That is what makes this the granddaddy of all sound quality competition vehicles. Recently, I had the extreme pleasure and honor of being the first journalist to see the Regal's inner workings. I spent a couple of days with Gary Biggs, getting the lowdown on what made this the world's best sounding car. Biggs opened up the Regal to show the world what it takes to be a seven-time world champion.
