1st place baby! :D Thats one for Club Polk! Not bad for my very first competition!

Had a good turn out for this show, in fact this was the largest USACi show to date in Region 3. Thats kicks **** because now theyll do this show every year in my area.

Had a ton of SPL competitors. The biggest number of the night was 164.

Here is one pic of the crowd from my stall.

Here is one of the chicks that competed. There were 4 I believe and all won trophies but this chick (kinda cute too) had the highest. 149.9. This is her 2nd run where she only hit a 146.

    I dont know. There were several cars in the SQ area, at least 10 so surely there were a couple in my class.

    I dont want to know actually. I won my class and thats all I need to know. ;)

    Im looking forward to the next show. MECA has one about 70 miles from me Dec 31 so Ill try that one and see if my luck still holds.

    There was one dude running Audiopipe and he hit like a sumbitch! He did a 152 I believe.

    Audiobahn was everywhere tho. I saw more of them than anything else.

    LOL!! Nah. I really like SPL cause not only is it fun to watch but it drives this industry and it draws spectators to shows so Ill support SPL as much as I can. That being said, I doubt Ill ever compete in it at least seriously. Ive always been into SQ and consider it the purist form of car audio.

    I wont say "never" tho. I wouldnt be suprised if one day I took a DB212-2 and threw it in the back seat and took a trip thru the lanes.

    There was a Hummer there for the car show class that had a 212-2 in the back. It looked mean as hell. I still think those are the best looking premade boxes ever!

    Hey mac in the class you was in what were the requirements of the install? Did you have to show pictures of your installation to them? Like show that your wires were tied off every six inch's. Another thing im wondering is can your wires be tied off every six inch's without having to be tied to the body?

    We were running way behind because out of 5 judges, only 1 showed up so he cut corners.

    However, normally in my class I wouldve had to do a presentation of my system layout and all. He checked the battery and connection then checked my amps and made sure they were secure and all wires were terminated properly.

    Its my rookie understanding that you dont have to have pictures but if you want full points for install youre better off with them.

    USACi has a new class, Q, which is just sound quality only. They judge the installation for safety only and then listen to the system. No creativity or presentation, just listening. This is the class Ill be entering from now on.

    Ill also be in MECA's stock class. I like them because they classify a car by its modifications so I can keep my speakers in the doors (for now) and not have to worry about going up against somebody with a 10 speaker front stage and all fiberglass kicks and what not.

    Congratulations MacLeod. I would presume when you were handed the trophy, a lightning storm occurred and the life essence from the other competitors was then absorbed into your body?
