The IASCA® Canadian Championships Have Proven One Thing: The Best-Sounding Cars in Canada Use Hybrid Audio Technologies Products
Atlanta, GA – Hybrid Audio Technologies-equipped cars dominate the trophy ceremonies at the IASCA Eastern and Western Canadian Championships with key wins, including the highest sound quality score in both eastern and western Canada, respectively, the highest overall sound and installation “SQi” score, as well as a remarkable sweep of all “SQi” classes in eastern Canada.
In the past four years, no brand of car audio product has dominated organized sound quality competition – irrespective of format – like Hybrid Audio Technologies. The latest chapter of the unequivocal success played out over a two weekend timeframe in Canada, with the Western Championships hosted on August 23 in Penticton, British Columbia and the Eastern Championships hosted on August 30 in Whitby, Ontario. This unique format included common sound and installation judges between the two events, so that a unified Canadian champion could be crowned in each format.
The Western Championships was an impressive showing for Team Hybrids members, dealers, and customers. Hybrid Audio product user Gene Skarra won the Amateur SQC “sound only” division, and in the Professional division, Team Hybrids North American Coordinator Bill Pleasant won the Professional SQC “sound only” title with the highest sound quality score of the western championships. Bill also won the Professional SQi class, where scores are awarded for both sound and installation, posting an impressive 460 points - the highest score of the entire Canadian Finals Series, East or West!! Keith McCumber of Sounds Good in Coquitlam, BC, a Hybrid Audio Technologies dealer, took third place in the Professional division and in the Amateur SQi division, and Team Hybrids member Mike Peterson nabbed 3rd place in SQi and Amateur SQC with his daily driven Mustang.
At the Eastern Championships, nine of ten SQ and SQI classes were won by a Hybrid Audio Technologies user or Team Hybrids member. The Hybrid Audio Technologies champions are as follows: Julian Ridi (Rookie), David Erwin (Amateur), John Myers (Professional), Emanuel Beja (Ultimate), Larry Woolacott (Expert), Julian Ridi (SQC Rookie), John Myers (SQC Professional), Emanuel Beja (SQC Ultimate), Larry Woolacott (SQC Expert). For his efforts in SQC Amateur, David Erwin was awarded second place, 0.5 points behind the winner, due only to system noise deductions which were out of Erwin’s control.
“The dynasty we established at the 2009 IASCA North American championships in Daytona Beach, Florida has been further reinforced with several key victories at the Canadian Championships” proclaimed Bill Pleasant, Team Hybrids’ North American Coordinator. “Not only did Hybrid Audio Technologies have the best-sounding car in both western and eastern Canada, but cars equipped with Hybrid Audio Technologies products also the highest total SQi score of the two events, and a sweep of every SQi class at the eastern championships! There can be no denying that Hybrid Audio Technologies has proven that it is the car audio speaker brand of choice in Canada.”
“The showing from our Canadian Team and other folks using the Hybrid Audio Technologies product was remarkable and I am elated that we have continued on in the tradition of dominating organized competition, the proving ground for great car audio equipment” remarked Scott Buwalda, CEO of Hybrid Audio Technologies. “It’s a great feeling to back up our wins from the North American Championships, and our Sound Quality Best of Show win at the Mexican IASCA Finals last October. The best sounding cars in North America – Mexico, USA, and now Canada – all use Hybrid Audio Technologies products.”

Congrats to all the team Hybrid members.
I've had the pleasure of Judging many HAT cars now and have to admit, they have all earned their spots on top.
Good luck next year.
EDIT: wow, great job to whoever took those pictures above

Thanks Jason,
It was a fun season. I'm glad to be on the team. I've said it before, but the support from the team is second to none. If you have questions, they get answered. And that's not just for team members. So not only is the product great, but the technical advice being given to all those who use the product is awsome. What are the chances the owner of Focal, Hertz or Audison would directly help you out with your project. I bet none. Scott Buwalda, is an active user on the Hybrid web site. If you ask a question, there is a very good chance he will asnwer it for you, or point you in the direction of where to get the answer.
Very cool!
