Competition season 2007 is zeroing in on the final stages however if you're a beginner don't let that dissuade you because there is always plenty to see and more importantly; plenty to hear! The leaderboard is close as ever and everyone is seeking an invitation to the nationals held later this year. The sixth event of the 2007 NSW CAASQ Sound Quality Competition season is planned for the 26th August and will be run in conjunction with the next sanctioned SPL event. So it's time to get your cars all sorted, tuned and improved for this upcoming round. After the last event we now see there are a couple of cars that have established themselves as the ones to beat and lets face it; a good challange never hurt anybody.



In addition to the sound quality event, this round is also a sanctioned sound pressure level event. For further information about the whole sound pressure level (a.k.a. SPL) scene, rules and events, see the DB Drag racing website.

Returning to the SQ side of things; registration for the competition starts at 08:00 and judging begins at 10:00 sharp (although AM/ST often starts a little earlier to accomodate sheer numbers). 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 and this is provided by the Doran crew. A sausage sandwich and drinks are available for a minimal cost.

The important details are:
When: Sunday 26th August, 2007
Where: Doran Pro Audio. Unit 6 / 42 Canterbury Road, Bankstown.
Time: We get there around 07:00 to get eveything all set up. Anytime after that though is fine – finish is usually around 17:00-18:00. We do stay back to chat and mingle though.
Cost: Entry to the sound off is usually $35. Food and drink can also be purchased for a minimal cost.
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 is 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. Judges are also more than happy to help you tune the car before the competition starts.

Sound quality competition judging discs are available for purchase from Audio Discs.com.au and the rules and leaderboard for the 2007 NSW CAASQ Sound Quality Competition can be found here.

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

Awesome.

Another joint event ensures a good turnout. Good thinking!

Im there

Im there

I am in!

ill be there, car or no car

Count me in. Will be my first comp, not at the park.

yay Doran's having been to dorans once last season and revesby 3 times and gong once. im keen to head back somewhere different. get there early to get a good park.

Yeah i like the SQ + SPL days, mainly im after the carnage of expensive gear that SPL often offers!
Im in for this one.

count me in, I love hearing expensive gear go bang too Joel...

How hard is it to get a good park?

I should be there, probably with a new amp or 2 and definitely new speakers...

hey guys been following your series for a while would love to come down to the next event....

but..... theres always a but

would it be a bit random if i entered my stock system into the comp just to see what it gets in the rankings????

its a ford au 2 2001 model

i think it gives everyone a good idea of what a stock system came from and where you guys have come from that :D

I think its a decent idea to tell you the truth. Always good to get a benchmark figure

My first event this year was (not a stock stereo), but freshly installed one. Good to get an indication of where 'up' is.

Everyone is welcome to enter, including stock systems.

I'd be interested to have a listen mate, I haven't listened to a stock stereo in over a year and it'd be good to do a back to back listen with a disc I'm familiar with.
Seems my brain has forgotten what it used to sound like, strange that...
And you are more than welcome to have a listen to mine if you like

woot i have been accepted into the mea caasq section with open arms

^ Definately mate!

We had another guy that turned up on the day for Round 4, but i dont think he chatted much to anyone.

Make sure you talk to some people and introduce yourself etc.

You are welcome to come have a listen to my car aswell

Yeah come around and chat to us all. Only one of us is a cannibal, you'll be surprised.

I think i know the guy your're talking about, pratically had to bribe him to get his a_ _ there. Unfortunately not everyone with decent sounding cars is interested in coming to sound offs and car shows.

Oh well, they miss out!

you wont have to bribe me to come mainly youll have to fight with my parents as mums a nazi (pun intended)

other then that id love to come

His my mate guys. Not that any of you have met me, with the exception of Marty and Surefire, lol. I keep saying im going to come to the events, but never make it. Things always come up at the last minute, suppose thats the price to pay with uni, and trying to get promoted at work, hahaha.

Hey Cossy, ill take you on at the comp. Higher score buys at the pub

Lol done even though your nobelliums whipe there ass with my stock for dau 2 system,

haha so my shout pub done

Oh, and just to clarify. Your shouting EVERYONE not just me

ah crap.... i guess ill be driving home aswell seeing as ill be to broke to buy myself a beer??

Awesome

Hope to see you guys there.

I drink Scotch by the way, so bring your cash Ill bring a driver

lol damn..... ive got a bad feeling bout this next comp >.<

hehe but who knows i might win against some nobeliums

I'll bring a six pack.. been saying that for 4 rounds... A beer each wont hurt anyone, not when its an 8 hour day... Can I wack a few coldies on the ice marty?

What happened to Anand for the last round?

i should have my Boot Cooler installed, If i do then it will be full of coldies

haha plans changed as the above may be available ill just bring a case and cool them in the boot haha

should be another good day again, fun to see the SPL cars too.. just waiting for the new Hertz amps to audition to come into FHRX so i can decide what to do with my car..so still only stock system for me too!

Common Paul Milles everywhere and a microwave in the back so we can heat up pizza pockets at the comps. Oh and popcorn

Now thats a great plan joel

Nathan since you are using home audio speakers in your car does this mean you will bumped up to " pro street ".

i think it still should be ok. some would consider say the vifa XT25 tweet to be Home Theatre stuff. i just quickly went over the rules and all i can see there is equipment readily available in Australia. in the past 5 years. and un-modified. well all hes done is pulled the drivers out the box so i wouldn't call it modified. can a judge or marc please confirm this?

They are still Avaliable over the Counter @ Syntec

Even though I said I probably wouldn't, I think I will be competing this round.

Ok so who's geed-up for tomorrow?

edit: Just to confirm, is this place just up the road from the revesby state park location? (just off the M5)

Im ready!

Car is together and almost ready

Well Im kinda ready. Only just got the HU installed and half tuned!
First impressions of the New 9887 arent good either...
Catch you all tommorrow....

Don't forget your beer. I fully expect you to be well and truly sauced before I get there. (so I can steal one unnoticed of course).

(please enjoy responsibly)
