I went to 2 shows in 06/07, I bought an APX off you. I didn't enter in 07 because as soon as I got there I couldn't find my one coil's wire (it was under the damn box), I was going to switch out my Eclipse for the APX and give'r. I was the first person to get there and Jay Jones' 8-12's in an Integra hatch rolls up next to me, what a beast, I'm glad I went just to see that. Nobody had wire so I went home & came back for the sub. Then my car was stolen next month with the APX.

The shirts I recall were too generic, they look like 1990's "WE WERE HERE!" shirts, complete with racing stripes and lots of yellow & pink, something like a nascar cheapo.

Heavy duty t-shirts average online in bulk to $2 each and so does printing. Manufacturing cost could be $8 after shipping.

Crap examples that'd be much clearer (that's a rear view blurred).

hi guys newbie here in cca..for me db drag are not as popular as what it is before because people try to have a set up of car audio which are of daily basis use. For me its like more of practicality nowadays, peolple try to go another level which is "loud and clear" (which some guys refer to as "sql"), that's why in my experience, Europeans has the best format for now which is ESPL(EMMA SPL)..

Psychlone is similar to EMMA. EMMA is pure sql.

its because not many are interested in spending money on a system anymore. Sure it costs alot to be competitive but kids don't seem to be putting systems in their cars like they used to and so they never get into it at all

I chose no new competitors based on the options, but I guess the two above quotes sum it up best.

Me personally, I'd also have to add that I don't spend time and money on my system to push it so hard to the point where I risk damaging something just to try and beat someone in a competition where I probably wouldn't win anything anyways.

If I did win, I doubt it'd cover the costs of any blown equipment in the process. Actually, even if it did, the money I won would go right back into buying new stereo components, and I'd be back to where I started financially, minus whatever time it takes to replace the parts.
