Posts: n/a
Ok so you want someone to pay your expenses to other peoples products. Like that is going to happen. Also this is not a free ride sponsorship. Everyone has asked for free product. All request have been forwarded to Soundstream and we all looking into how to go about this.
Both the girlfriend and I would be interested in some sort of sponsorship. in the past 12 months alone we have travelled MORE than 20,000 kms between the 2 of us, to shows, including db drag, IASCA, USACi, and db drag world finals. We have done this ALL from OUT OF POCKET expenses, with NO SPONSORSHIPS, and would really like some help this year.
A little info:
Erin(my G/F) started her rookie year(2008 season) with a single 12" type r sub and 1000 watts in street stock a/rookie 1. she brought home 11 first place trophies, and placed 3rd in the WORLD at finals, with a top score of 144.8 MUSIC, in a trunk car(2001 neon). she is now looking to upgrade her class to let other rookies have a chance at winning in street stock a. She has upto 10,000 watts of power to play with.
myself, came into my 3rd year of compitition(2008 season) with a personal best of 143.5 db, and ended up finishing the year with peak scores of 151.2(certified db drag), and 153.2(IASCA western finals). throughout the year taking home 12 first place trophies, and 2 2nd place trophies in street max(db drag)/advanced 1(iasca)/3000 watts +(usaci). I ended up with 2nd at regionals at db drag world finals with a score of 151.1 @40 hz in a walled 2001 neon. I myself have at least 20,000 watts to play with and want to stick with the wall class. I also have bought term-lab to use as a testing device last year, and is one of the reasons we were as successful as we were.
As for sponsorship items, we have some gear already bought for this season, could be interested in subs, wiring, etc. but a big expense last year was travelling expenses, ie: fuel, lodging, and food on the road. Those expenses would be what we'd most like to get covered, but gear is just as good.
In order to be of any real compitition to the big boys this year, the only way we could do it is with sponsorship, otherwise it might not be worth our while to do what we did last year. I hope my bit of a story has peaked your interest.
thanks for the oppertunity,
Will Lievers

wow, you don't have to be mean about it. There ARE companies that pay expenses when only using their products on part of a system. some of them even re-build/re-badge other companies products.
I was mearly stating that I already have amplifiers bought, and that I AM actually willing to spend some money....just not willing spend another huge wack of dough out of my pocket to travel thousands of kms sporting the name of a company that won't pay for some expendatures along the way.
I have heard what soundstream does for sponsorships now....ie: you buy product, soundstream gives you discount. you install product, soundstream gives you further discount. you prove wins, soundstream gives you further discount....all in all usually works out to 50% of original pricing. You can already get this deal from ALOT of companies, and you can be a nobody, with no background, to do it.
I just thought this may have been different.
I am more than willing to switch amplifier brands if that be the case, I was just mentioning that the wattage was available. more than what I can say for some looking for everything for free...
It is getting too expensive for regular competitors to be competitive without corporate sponsorship. Without some changes, you will see spl in western canada die out completly, as it is already taking a turn for the worst.

I always thought sponsorship was company owned product on legal loan that can be pulled anytime and competitor pricing was a discounted price on product for competitors. I think thats where the confusion came from.

The problem with company loaned product from the US is that if anything ever happened to the product (ie stolen), it would be tough for the company to ever get compensated. Trust me this is a competitor pricing sponsorship like most companys out there. I will let everyone know shortly who is being considered.
