check out my car, its install is perfect.... yes perfect and i have the iasca scores, db drag and usaci scores to prove it along with any pics you want... the car from front to back is spotless and follows three rule books to the letter on install... no expense was spared in product and with unlimited time in my install bay and excellent ideas from rob and dukk it turned out to be the only car in the world in its class to win both iasca spl and sq and finish best of show at three non sound off shows. i think that speaks for itself.... my comments were not to bash anyone...... i was mearly poking fun at most of the junk out there that gets loud.... i just want to stir the pot to see if some other serious installers want to try out there hand at old school installs, like we used to due back in the day..thats all...... the problem with script is no feeling is associated with the writting.. meaning humor can be misinterprited as sarcasim... sorry about that.
Also is it really that difficult to win IASCA SPL shows when theres nobody else in your class?
What about be impressive would be to see a car/install like that without a wall still beat the street class SPL competitors where there are actually people to compete against.
Your car is clearly much more SQ oriented than SPL oriented. It would be similar to comparing it to something like Clays jimbo which is more SPL oriented than SQ oriented but still has the attention to detail. There are plenty of SPL vehicles that still sound good, they just dont compete in SQ.
Just stirring the pot a little

Any place we can see this vehicle where no expense was spared? links? specs? spl? I never got to the Kamloops show.
I have seen Jimbo and it was a good daily driver probably the best one for 2008.
As far as SQ, it is so subjective what sounds good to one person may not to the next.

Yes there are systems that polarize but a great system will always sound great

disagree! A great sounding car will always be a great sounding car, so many folks spend good money to remove a bland but livable factory system and install something less good or down right bad.

what kind of statement is that? If you're hearing is effed up, how is that his problem? It's probably not loud enough for deaf people too...

Hehe, my point is that everyone is different in their hearing range. A lot of people have hearing within normal limits, but I just think "good is good is good" is a bad umbrella statement. The human body's ability to hear is very different from person to person. Most people can't even hear 20 to 20k the same as each other. Most men statistically can't hear over 19k.

And there's lots of loud cars that don't even compete.

The point is that there are very few that compete, and do well, in both SPL and SQ. 15 years ago a real comp car had to do both. Those of us who remember those days think that's the right way to build a car. Step up if you think you can.
Just pissing in the pot..
