I must say that this event was by far one of the best held so far. There was some decently matched competition out there with some battles having only .3dB seperation from each other. And 19 competitors shows to me that this sport is alive and on the mend :) I'd personally like to that everybody for their support thus far and to please continue with the support; as this is what is driving Mobile Electronics Australia to implement an improved and exciting format to car audio competitions nationwide. :)



A big thanks to Phatt Audio Concepts for putting up with the noise :) AND also a big thanks to the reps that attending (and competed in Bass Battle also).

A highlight for the event was seeing Lunchie NEARLY loose a screen! It didn't break, but the seal popped out..... and pooped out wet Sikaflex... from 3 days prior :blink: And hitting a 156.6dB, There was also a 150+ reading for 19Hz!! (Steve, you'll need to rectify what the score was)



And I was personally happy with the Camry, scoring a 132.1dB @ 52Hz on music.. AND taking out SPL WAAAAAAAAAAAAArrior without subs! So yes, my first trophy in the game :)

A few more cars I'm seeing with some decent figures.I think Stacey Lindsay got a 139.9db.... yet to confirm if there was a high reading on the night. Burak got a 145+dB off two Orion 10s and 5kW in the Barina hatchback.Mr DB4FUN got a 152.1dB in his CRX, taking out the Pro SPL class.A decent fight to watching was Kiri in the TX5 and Billy in the Subaru; with Kiri winning with a 140.5dB off 2 x Clarion 12s, against Billy's 140.2dB reading, in the Novice B class.



Overall..... it was a fun night, and for a twilight event, we started the elimination rounds after ALOT of test runs, about the 6ish mark, and had the Bass Battle event packed up and in the trailer by 8:30pm :)



Thanks once again.... and please contribute with ANY pics/vids on the night (I know there was more hairtrick vids taken of Pinky) ;) hahaha

put simply, a better run SPL event there has never been, i'm been competing, at every event i could for the last few years, and i've yet to come across an event that was as fun, or as well run!!
everyone got PLENTY of runs in, but it never dragged on like some other events do...

a HUGE thanks must go out to Marc for running the show all night, along with everyone that helped on the sensors and keeping the show running smooth, it isn't a one man job, and there were always plenty of people around helping out!!


so congratulations to MEA, and Phatt Audio Concepts for what has to be not only the highlight of the season, but one of the best shows in the last few years!!
