Rather than a full on Db comp, couldn't we show up all these other wanna be shows by having a TRUE sound off.

Where the winner is judged on sound quality, install qulity, use and layout of components etc, instead of just who squeezes the most shit in and can make one note the loudest.

We are Skyline drivers after all, not excel drivers!

Marc, as in me? lol :D I don't have any industry experience or anything so I don't know how good I'd be at judging, but I'm more than happy to give a layman's opinion on quality of sound, installation etc. I might be able to get Chris Rogers (from Sound Off) to come for a wander if you're interested though, to add to the professional judging.

True - maybe extra points for self-installed systems or something? Dunno. Fwiw I'm more impressed by a system that has not had bucketloads of money thrown at it, but still sounds good, regardless of what it looks like (to an extent of course). Kind of an anti "chequebook competitor" stance :cheers:

The trouble with having a "install comp" style of judging means whoever paid a car sound place the most money wins.

Not necessarily, I've seen mega dollar systems that have very a poor finish and sound like shit.

And I've seen simple backyard jobs that are very neat and tidy and sound good for the money.

But I know what you mean, I think normally there is an Expert and an Amateur Class, with different Total RMS classes.

eg

Amateur

1-200 Watt

200 - 500 Watt

500 Watt +

Expert

1-200 Watt

200 - 500 Watt

500 Watt +

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
