Joe listed many good reasons that people shy away from SQ as well. I think the two big ones are pride (nobody wants their hard work criticized) and too many people think they need the ultimate flash install to compete SQ. Untrue - sure it has to be neat and tidy, but not expensive or flashy.
SQ is on the edge of a nice comeback though. A few more dedicated dealers hosting one or two shows over the summer would sure perk it up.

And what is good SQ? It is the sound of live instruments

There has been research done on music perception..... and one of the interesting finding was that a person with min to no music exposure (to real "acoustic intruments" not from TV, Radio or CD) before the early age of 5 will effects later in life to be able to distinguish the better sounding musical intruments, recordings, audio system etc.

Instead of the idea of getting your car judged, look at it as improving your system and getting feedback on how to improve your system. You can get opinions from guys how are not tring to make money off you.
Also its great to meet people who are passinate about car audio, sharing info...having fun. That's all I think events should be...[/QUOTE]
I'm with James 110% on this one. I got onto this because I wanted to learn and have the best sounding system I could aford. Over a course of an frustrating season ( step learning curve) my system and the ability to learn from constructive judging it got better. The pastion of both arenas is increadable be it SQ or SPL. This being said I did find SQ substatualy harder but more rewarding in the end.
