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 +

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
