Mine in no particular order.

Sierra's XR6 - simply stunning system - great detail and attack. KISS install
Woody's X-trail- huge sound stage, great attack and system response - great all round system
Marc's BMW - horns and very nice install - loved this, as I love horns
Mark - FCA's Civic - sublime and rich and syrupy to listen to
Shiny's Alfa - just heavenly
Spyne's Focus - pure enjoyment

I could go on for hours.. but now what's your favourites.

Keep it complementary, if you don't agree, lets not get into an arguments or petty in fighting etc.

I really only have 2 favorites at the moment... I need to do more listening!

- Alan's XR6.. was a reference car for both me and Tess
- Marc's Nitro (when he had the horns in there).. altho improperly tuned, it showed me what horns can do!

Danny's Bora during 2010 - Dynamic like no other car at the time with incredible midrange detail.
Mark's Civic during 2011 - Extremely consistent, excelling in all areas.
Shiny's red Alfa (circa 2006?) - First "real" SQ car I heard that made me smile.
Simon's Pulsar - Over the last two years has, at times, had immensely enjoyable tonality and dynamics.


*I really need to listen to more interstate cars. James' car definitely gets an honourable mention for Nationals this year - I didn't get an in-depth listen, but it definitely had all bases covered.

Alan's XR6 2007 nationals
Poisoners Holden Ute 2007 nationals
James' Holden MEACT rd 2 2011
Danny's subs at 2010 nationals (orgasmic IB)
My Holden VZ Ute just before I sold it in 2008 (My most finely tuned car to date)
My current VW beetle for pure dynamics at the moment

My favourite would be Danny's Bora as IMO nothing i've heard comes close in terms of dynamics, and that orgasmic IB subbass.
second to that would be Mark French's Civic and Al's XR6

Alan's car - heard it at Nats the other weekend, and now have something to aim for!! And my own of course. I wouldn't spend time in it if I did't enjoy how it sounded, competitions aside :D And I haven't heard Brian's Calais from the inside for ages, but its the best sounding car from the OUTSIDE :D :D

For me:
Danny's (Bora Bora Woot Woot)
Very dynamic and lively sound with the midbass snappy (just the way I like it)

Brian Smith's Calais
The highs in this car is to die for (just wow)

Adhiko's Honda Accord (A-Banger)
For a 2 way set up, this car was so really great (opened up my eyes to Crescendo midrange capabilities)

Mark's Honda Civic (SQ Demo)
In 2 way guise with Elate Limited Editions the midrange was to die for (just wow)
In 3 way guise this car was just sublime, so refined and rich in sound (pity some people de-tuned before round 7 & made changes before Nationals) :cray:
I heard this car today with the top secret upgrades and all I can say in regards to the sound is an "Iron Fist in Velvet Glove"

Last but not least:
All the FCA cars ... (They just Sound Great period)

Up until now I would have to say Sierra's XR6. Just a very pleasant car to listen to, and although I could have nit-picked one or two little faults with it if I really wanted to, it sounded nice enough that I just didn't want to. Just a very pleasant system to listen to, and all the more impressive given it's simplicity.

I heard a number of Pro class cars at the nationals that weekend (mine included), but it was Sierra's that impressed me the most.
