First Competition

[anarchyaudio 0]

I went to my first car audio competition over the past weekend. I finished first in my division ( amatuer). It was a neat experience. I scored well for my first show and met some really cool people. I got some help from a world champ sound quality guy. He brought out an RTA, we talked and tuned for about 2 hours before I got judged. Learned alot just in the short amount of time. Was all in all great time. Also wanted to thank M5 for his input and sharing knowledge.

Cant wait till the next show, I can attend. This may be the start of a real addiction LOL!!!

Unfortunately the camera we brought died after only 2 shots, not sure what happened yet still working on it. And the Champs name Is Paul ..... ill have to get his last name. I was introduced to him as Paul, never thought to ask a last name honestly. Was to stoked to think that clear but he gave me some great pointers and a good Idea on how/what I am listening for.

He told me he like to get friends or go to local mall where he lives, I think he said he was from alabama( could be wrong on that) and listens and sometimes records live instruments so that he can make sure they sound correct. He said if you can get pre engineered music its better, that way you can hear what the way it is suppose to sound not the way that a sound engineer tells you its suppose to sound. Thought that was very neat concept.

With this new venture into the world of SQ, I have come to understand and listen to a wider variety of music. And some things that I did not consider listening to before has made it on to my thumb drive to make the rotation. There are some very amazing artist out there that hardly get any attention. It truly dumfounds me that I ignored so much talent and greatness before.

I will get more info and try to manage to get some pics from a friend of mine after they get posted

I scored a 51 out of 70 for my first show.

I had some issues with amp mounting and battery mounting or I would have scored even better. They did not affect my sound quality only safety and install factors.

Nice score! You had one of the harder judges too. And I am guessing that the Paul you are talking about is Paul Davoren
