you guys are right we need 40 shows a month that way we can have so many shows people will have to go them ? makes sense to me car audio must be cool .
I can see it now car audios best year in history thanks to the 40 shows a month program .
Shops can't keep product on the self ! Thank you car audio show guys who said car audio is dead . KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!

 

frank please keep your negativity to yourself.

 

Don & Mike I think the show you held was pretty good. You could have girls walking around in bikinis, wet t-shirt contest, free give aways but that only means you'll get people there, not competitors.
I think Yuli is right. It's not a matter of improving, it's a matter of getting competitors to shows. I went to 24 of the 26 cspl event last year and it was the same faces. And it was the same faces at your show as it was at any of Richard's db drag/cspl shows. What made me keep going to the cspl show was the points. I had a goal to win. Maybe if you explained at the beginning of the shows for the people who don't know that you accumulate points for worlds you might have people coming back.
Yes Richard may have held a crazy number of shows last year but they weren't db drag. I think you guys are on the right path to getting together with the other organizers and planning your shows together. This gives more promotion opportunities.
I agree trophies kinda suck. They take up room and unless you gloat to your buddies on a regular basis I don't see the point. The same with gear. The people coming to your shows already have probably above average/competition grade equipment and don't need entry level stuff "given" to them (I'm still trying to get rid of stuff I won last year).
I know I'm just a noob, and probably not worth listening too, but I just wanted to voice my opinion.

 

Maybe not a full system install but a draw for some kind of install (deadening, big3, LCD...) so people can watch them while they do it and learn... This could be good advertising for the vendor.

 

Bill and Erie will be part of RW 's shows(ones with db drag) anyway and if their wasn't 40 shows a month Rich mite more east and west you don't think he's trying to have reps run shows across canada cspl and all it takes is a shop to hop on board in you area and bingo more shows for you. He can only do so much (and remember i don't even realy know him or for the most part like him LOL) he is just doing a realy good job .

 

Look what happened at Stereo 1...that's all that will happen. There is nothing in it for store/shop owners.

 

the shop owner at stereo 1 didnt take advantage of the show. He didnt open his store and was rude.

 

Shops are having shitty times now a days and they are dropping like flys
They don't want to waste cash on show (but if you are part of a show open the doors to the people and pay your promotors) Plus im not trying to put you down just think of all work for what no one will go
you will come on hear and whine about the turn out
only 20 people came we need more but thats all their is
only 20 people doing it you can't more their is no more
back in the day we whined we could only get 40 poeple on a week nite and car audio was rocking SORRY!!

 

Frank try coming to some shows, and not one season every 5 years.

 

You're kidding, really? Oh and they do this in New York for the same reason, kicks and bragging rights. Maybe if Canada was a little more like these places more people would show up...just a thought...go Tim Hortons and poutine!
