Someone has to start a reflection thread so I thought I'd get in and begin it.

Good day, nice weather and good catching up with you all. Thank you to all those who attended. I'll get the results to Marc and the photos off the camera up ASAP. :D

Thanks for kicking off the reflections thread Marty. Despite an early start to get the Nobeliums in my car to demo today, and my car developing a nasty case of signal noise, I had another enjoyable day which may sound difficult to some, especially when your car audio doesn't want to play ball on competition day. :(



Congrats to Daniel for a well deserved win today, the Supremos sounded mighty fine and it also keeps the leaderboard interesting, and thanks to everyone else who turned up to watch, listen and help out.



And finally, thanks to you Marty for taking the time out to fix whatever problem my car has developed. No doubt she'll be sorted by next round and I'll finally have my speaker upgrade completed. :rolleyes:

I'll second that!

Nice weather (if a little chilly) and a nice, friendly day as always. Thanks again to everyone involved with the organising including the people who did the cooking, and the judges for taking the time to do what they do.

Boy do I know how that feels!

This was the first time I've competed with a pretty-much-finished install.

On that note this was my last competition for the year, and so I really wanted to go out with a bang. To be honest the results were a little dissapointing. Not how I wanted to close out my seaseon, but I know the car wasn't sounding as good as it could have and so I really can't make any excuses this time around.

There is no doubt that the top ranking guys more then earned their places, and full kudo's out to them for the effort and time they put in!

Now for the sad part...how to close out my competition season. To be honest, I won't really miss competing all that much because at the end of the day it's my own listening pleasure that I'm in this for - but what I will miss is just being involved whether it be competing, judging, helping out or even spectating. Every event has presented a great opportunity to get to know some of the other top people competing and on top of this the nature of the competition always gives an extra drive to get better. Plus, it's always good to get to hang out with other people who share the same obsession, because my family and friends think I'm insane!

When I do finish my uni semester this year I'll be straight back into the competition in some way... and if I'm not competing then I'll be happy to volunteer for a judging role or even just to help out with organising if possible...and if anyone ever needs tips or advice on anything you can always feel free to PM / MSN me anytime.

Now I will try to move my butt and get the pics I took up ASAP :)

Awesome Day, as usual Marty threw on a well organised event, and with RTA in tow, and a few different speaker combos to audition, made it worthwhile to be from NSW.. (:P to VIC) :)

All I can say is MOREL SUPREMOS FTW!!!!!!!!!

Those are the sweetest sounding splits I've ever heard, congrats to Daniel also, nice win mate.

Weather was perfect, all the regulars were in attendance, and the judging was very tough and consistant as usual, forcing everyone to keep on getting better, there really were some very nice sounding cars today, everyone has made significant improvements and competition is getting very very close.
Cant wait to see the leader board!!

Thanks to the girls for lunch, the 3 double sausage sandwiches I inhaled are proof it was very tasty.

All in all another enjoyable day, and again, I must re-iterate...

MOREL SUPREMOS FTW!!!!!! fukn awesome speakers..

Hey Marty I WANT SOME!!!.. will come see you soon..

[Wh33lzz]

Great day, and thanks to the above fellas (esp Nathan) for some after comp socialising in a warmer place (even though the fire is a fake) with some good pizza.

Another great comp day (makes me rue missing the last two rounds), although I went significantly backwards in scoring, due to a fallen out RCA cable, and some poor TA by me. Don't worry, I keep my settings documented on the back of the score sheets, so I get a list of what works and what doesn't. So I can go back to my fine round 2 form.

Kudos to the judges, they managed to confirm everything I thought (unexpected surprises is bad).

You got your timing wrong mate. I left, filled up at Caltex Lakemba at 22:06.

Top day once again guys! good to see a strong turnout, and good sounding systems again. Danels's morel setup just sounded soo sweet on the day, was an obvious 1st place. I wish i could hear Muzzy's car at its full potential, he has some top gear in his ride, but there is always a few obvious hickups somewhere..

I've emailed Marc the leaderboard updates.

[MRVJ]

So Marty,

Did you find out what was causing the noise?

Can you post up the results here? So us lesser competitors can see our placing.

[Riley.]

and so that everyone else can see that you actually had a comp :P
