Bizarre. I can't imagine spectators sitting around watching a car buzz the way they'd watch one rocket down the dragstrip... They might both be over in 4 seconds, but only at the end of one of those is somebody is doing 300+ mph.
 
Ya know I use to do DB drags, It was fun at first but it does get old.... I Like the sound quality show/competition better. I use to have ford probe, I won some with that ole girl, that was back when I was in IASCA.. Then I started helping a guy work on a blazer, It had 8 12"s, One day we were "testing" ;) and I got a nose bleed :eek LOL it was fun..



Here are a few pics of the Blazer..

I remember standing near Rockford Fosgate's Promo vehicle some years ago. That car was only turned up 1/4 of the way and it was setting off EVERY car alarm within a 3 block radius. :eek:

I've been entering into some SQ competitions over the summer. I think there is a lot more skill involved in getting something to sound as good as possible, anybody can have a loud car with a few speakers and a few thousand watts of power.
 
I too pride myself on my sound quality (atleast better then my brother's Bose system in his A4...)



How do they test SQ? Is it just by judge's ear? or...what?
 
I can honestly say that putting all that money into a stereo that only plays 1 note, in a car that you can't drive does not interest me. I do enjoy a good stereo, although I never went very deep into it.

However, dang it, everyone should have an interest or hobby, have fun and pursue it. More power to the guy. :xyxthumbs
 
Its just like building up an enging that will never be able to drive to work and back. These 8 second machines that people build for track racing aren't ever going to be daily drivers. The principle is the same for this stereo competition. The winners of these 'races' aren't driving their cars to and from the race most likely. It would be a fun hobby though. I'd rather build an 8 second Mustang myself, but whatever floats your boat. :bigups
