After a sucessful trial period late last year, the full 2007 NSW CAASQ Sound Quality Competition season kicks off with round one only being a couple of weeks away now. We've opted to hold this CAASQ event away from the shop for two reasons. The first is to bring the events focus back to its roots; car audio enthusiasts getting together to chat, listen, compare and compete. The second is that last year it was so successful that we had troble fitting all the cars in our parking lot!



Registration for the competition starts at 08:00 and judging begins at 10:00 sharp. Entry fee is $35 for all classes. The planned order of events for the SQ side of the day are:

* Amateur Street Class
* Amateur Show Class
* Pro Street Class
* Pro Show Class
* Award presentations

As per usual, during the middle of the day there will be a BBQ with both food and drinks available but with a difference. The way we operate the BBQ is this; Fhrx Studios pays for the food and drink but we ask for a gold coin donation (or more) that we then forward to different charities. In the past we have supported everyone from the Guide Dog Association to Anglicare.

The important details are:
When: Saturday 31st March, 2007
Where: Burrawang Reach, opposite the intersection Henry Lawson Drive and River road, Revesby. The map below is marked with a small circle.
Time: We get there around 07:00 to get undercover tables and a couple of BBQ’s etc. Anytime after that though is fine – finish is usually around 17:00-18:00.
Cost: Entry to the sound off is usually $35. However there is also a $10 parking fee (national park) for the day but we will happily take this off the entry fee for competition entrants. Food is free but seeing as we're buying the food and drinks and are not millionaires, feel free to donate soft drink cans.
Security: Thieves and dishonest people are not welcome and for the ones amongst us thinking of coming down to steal something – we’ve been through it before and trust me; security is one aspect NOT overlooked (that is about all we ever say in writing).



Everyone is welcome! The thing to remember the day is always a lot of fun so please come along, spend time with fellow audio enthusiasts and support our industry. It doesn't matter whether you have never attended, come along and meet everyone - most are quite friendly and don't bite.

Further information and conversations can be found on Car Audio Australia. Sound quality competition judging discs are available for purchase from Audio Discs.com.au.

Note; special discounts will also apply to any car audio products ordered from Fhrx Studios on the day.biggrin.gif

i'll be there.
mazda626
damn, dosnt look like ill be getting a job sad.gif.. but ill try my hardest to be there hehe

EDIT: any idea of the classes that are going to be run
mad89
im out. sad.gif
Fhrx
Can you not come before or after the exam Rick?

Damn election is a major hassle! mad.gif
mad89
hmm. i will be getting onto the subject co ordinator asap, to try and ask what time its going to be on.

at this stage, i dont think im going to have much luck, as they havent designated a room or anything yet, they just said "1hr 40min exam on the 31st".

only thing i can ask is the 'history' of when its been on in previous years, and hope its a good time.

if its an early morning exam, then i could be still ok, and would get up there at about 12:30-1:30 (guessing that the exam starts at like 8:30 or 9:30), if its an arvo exam, ill come in the morning, and just leave early. but if the exam is in the middle of the day then im stuffed.

ill let u know how the correspondance with the co-ordinator goes, and well take it from there, but at this stage it isnt looking good sad.gif

i do recall in an email marty, u told me u wanted to give about 1 months notice to peepz. so if u pushed it to the 7th, that would be EXACTLY one month from 2mrw tongue.gif biggrin.gif (and gives us an extra week)

mazda626 also has a job trial or something on the 31st, so it may be an option? unsure.gif but thats entirely ur call. smile.gif

ill keep youse posted wink.gif
Deftone2k
I hope to see you make it along Rick!

I hate clashes with schedules sad.gif

Keep us up to date with how it all goes aye!

Hopefully see ya before the 31st anyway wink.gif
muzzy66
It would be nice to be able to see all current competitors being able to make it.. but that said I guess no matter when it is set, there is always someone who will probably be hurt by it.

rick, who needs exams??
Sierra
Rick ..... get your mum to drive your car to the comp if you have too .... just get it there tongue.gif
Poisoner
or your sister?



edited as per request.
Fhrx
I was going to say the same Rick. Can someone else drive your car up here at all?
Poisoner
im sure there are alot of people want to see what rick has done with his car and they will be disapointed if he doesnt come (i will too!). there has been quite a following in his thread. hopefully he can make it up without getting booked. i imagine he will either be the 1st judged or the last. depending on his test time.

im assuming a 10am start and itll go on til 3-4oclock?

Marty can you please also confirm this will be at your shop? or is another venue planned. if so whats the addy of ur new shop.

Edited as per request
mazda626
and also confrim what clases will be running smile.gif cheers mate
mad89
re: getting someone to drive up for me, that may not be possible sad.gif

only me and my old man are covered by insurance to drive the car, so he wont let anyone else drive it (hes a stubborn one tongue.gif ). thats outta the question unless he brings it up, which at this stage is unlikely.

ill post back once i hear something from the subject co-ordinator regarding the exam time.
Poisoner
exam on a saturday! tell em to shove it!!!
HypE_STi

It will be held in the same park as where we hold our Christmas BBQ's. The park down at River Road Revesby. I'll chuck a map up soon. biggrin.gif

We'll be there from around 08:00 and hopefully we can finish judging in time to have a look around at some of the cars this time.

BTW, the shop address details are on the 'about us' page on our website.
muzzy66
I'll be there. The only thing I know of that is coming up (and doesn't have a set date yet) is a friend's funeral - I'm hoping that doesn't get scheduled on the same day.

If it does then I will do what I can to come down after it, but hopefully the days wont clash.

Also nice to see the changes you've made to the beast - finally prettied it all up aye! Can't wait to see how she goes smile.gif

I've got two or three major component changes to make myself, but I don't think I'll be able to have all of them done this month.

exam is 10am - 11:40am.

i should be able to get there between about 12:30 - 1:00pm, if youse are willing to wait for me?

based on prior events/comps, they havent finished till about 4-4:30pm, so i dont see it being a problem? however, registration for SQ was between 8 and 10am, sooo...

unsure.gif

Guys remember that there is a BBQ on the day with all the proceeds going to charity, so bring a few dollars to help a good cause, and for a good feed.
MRVJ
lets just hope there is enough meat...
Surefire
Ahh, excellent! I will finally be able to attend my first SQ comp and see how it's all run. Looking forward to meeting some audiophiles and seeing what sort of setups people are running. I'd like to be in a position to enter my car in something by August if the season is still running.

Don't worry dude, you aren't alone.


I have one headlight not working (needs a new bulb), doortrims are from a different model and so don't match my interior trim (originals are aside for later install plans), rear door trims have no handles, driver side door trim still has the texta marks from the wrecker, my driver door didn't open from the inside (just fixed that two days ago), my boot lock doesn't work so I can only open it via the switch inside, and up until recently I had that much bird crap on my car that loking at the car almost made me sick (finally found time to wash it). Oh and my engine bay (which is actually the most 'show' part of the car at the moment) is absolutely polluted with dust.

P.s.

Funeral was on Wednesday, and I can't think of anything else I have coming up. That means I should be free for the competition on the 31st.
Poisoner
at the mo i have no working speedo. 1 kick panel no door trims 2 differnt shaped, coloured and size seats. HU and a monoblock but no 4chan and no speakers or subs. and there are about 100 scratches or chips on my car. u will not be snubbed. YAY! im so excited!!!!
SStealth
Will be good to see your there muzzy.
I've heard about your car and how its coming along.
Was hoping to see it there.

Catch you in a few weeks

Antony
mad89
so whats coming with you antony? the ute? or the torry? tongue.gif

or is the torana reserved for SPL only?
SStealth
Torana won't be finished by then don't think. its a pretty big install. Just cleaned up the boot and rust proofed it and then sprayed it with stone guard today.

Will be there with the ute and a big passenger.

The torana will be both SQ and SPL. Haven't updated pics in the install post yet as keeping it under wraps until its done.

Any news on your attendance yet Rick?

Wh33lzz
Yeah Im heading down for a look see too.

Not competing yet tho, just want to see what it's all about and meet some fellow audiophiles.

Honestly I dont think my car is even good enough for the novice class.
Only one way to find out!
n_16er
yeah come down check it out, going to be a fair few cars there, should be really good. And as for you car not sounding good enough i think we are all our own biggest critics, give it a go you never know!
Wh33lzz
Maybe I should just give a few of you a listen first, a bit of constructive criticism wont hurt me huh?
MRVJ
* Newsflash *

The MRVJ Might be making an Appearence at CAASQ!
trism

MRVJ

data_mine
I still plan to go (and compete), however the GT-P was rear ended last week, so I'll have to figure out a way to hide the damage, and when I get back promptly remove the boot install, cause it's going in for repairs on the Monday.
corpsontherun
Aww man i cannot wait, my first ever CAASQ comp!! Jono and i are so eager for it we are leaving his at some fvcking ungodly hour (6:30am or something).

I really am so excited to be able to hopefully hear some really killer systems, and start dreaming of what i want in my car one day.

Cant wait to see you all up there!

smile.gif
Poisoner
take the rear mufflers off the noise will take the attention away from the damage. sorry to hear about the damage to such a new car. they bugger ur resale value up and its not even ur fault. unless u jumped on those brembos?????? im quite firm when it comes to insurance repairs. if that bumper even so much as has 5mm clearance difference between left and right after its repaired take it back. 50,000 or so spent less than 12months ago. better be perfect.
