It was a good day for all, if not a little cold and wet, but still plenty of action.

First off id like to thank Dorans for the hospitality and sausage sizzle, id like to thank Marty and the rest of the Fully Hectic Ricer Xtreme team for running the SQ side of things, and DD Phil, in association with boat shoes inc. for the afternoon entertainment.

Congrats to mad89 for 1st place in Am St, Antony on his 2nd, and mazda626 on 3rd, in his very first comp, equal with muzzy Well done guys

It was good to be back and see everyone again after being locked up in the middle of the desert for so long. Great day for rick, his first placing this year and its first. very nice. Very happy with my second and good to still see a big turnout on such a crap day.
Cant wait for next round.

Definately! A big shout out and thank you to the Doran boys for hosting the event in conjunction with SPL and also to Fhrx for the SQ side of the things.

The weather was a bit stupid in the morning, but the sun was kind to us in the arvo, so it sort of worked out OK in the end.

Thanks Matt!

It was close between me and Antony, as i thought it would be when we listened to his car. The other cars were impressive as usual aswell, so all in all it was a great day!

Miko's car was sounding pretty good with the limited tunability, and im definately a fan of those DLS splits. I imagine the higher end models would be awesome, ill have to listen to some one day. Congratulations Miko, you should be proud of the equal third place on debut, with the solid effort you have put into the install.

Also an honourable mention to Pete (muzzy66), who still competed and came equal third, even though his sub amp went AWOL, and his car was judged with no sub. The car was great when I heard it, shame about the sub amp.

Thanks again to all involved!

See you at Round 5.

Yep, another good turn out despite the freezing (ok, not quite but close) weather. 10 points separating 1st to 8th place in am street, so the competition is definitely close and healthy. Once again I came away learning more about car audio and the current short comings of my current system.

My only drama now is to find the 11 points I need to win an event!

Martin

Another great competition day. Another huge thanks to the aforementioned bloke for all of the effort and time put into making it happen. Great job of the judges as well getting everything done so quickly - given the late start I expected a late one, but it was all rounded up around 3pm.

Congrats on Rick for the #1, as well as Antony for taking the second position - both very well deserved no doubt.

I think this is the first time there were two Rainbow cars in the top four - nice to see

Spewing that the sub amp carked it though, as an extra 4 points for sub-bass would have given me a 110 and put me equal second, with the potential for an extra point in linearity as well

Biggest weakness is still staging, and I don't think that will improve while I have this car - assuming I decide to go through with the next event.

Planning on sending the ARC 1500 back to ARC Audio soon - no else has been able to fix it, so even they said it's not guaranteed but worth a try.... will give me 500w into 8ohm so it should get that little Vanadium moving like an animal
