and because you dont beleive in the dark ages anymore
you use equipement , i.e HU fronts , rears , amps , subs post 2006
the challenge will be in the old school format,i.e

(SQ): pink noise freq response on an rta, i.e flat response = 40 points
(SPL):At the same settings as SQ, unlimited spl with a well known track off the 95 car audio nationals cd , confusion in the city. or trial of seconds off the autosound 2000 test 102 cd, you decide?, Possible 30 points. I.E 130db=30points 100db =0 points.
(Cosmetics):Installation can be judged out of a possible 30 points.
there will be no power limit
there will be no driver limit
you can have a wall
you cannot have more than one 12v battery
speakers must be fitted subtely and not held with blutack
The photos of the install could be posted with timestamps, i.e that days newspaper in the background , to stop us posting photos of past installs out of photo albums and the like.
MEA Members could vote on the photos of the install and finished product in a poll.
Actual listening could take place 3 months from today. I have an audiocontrol meter for testing here in Cairns, I'd need a reputable member up here to verify the scores and send them to Marc, maybe you could do the same Damon.
