ROFLMAO!!! Actually Mike Hughes used to compete sq back a few years, around 10 or so, but he liked the big crowds and the big numbers that DbDrag put up so he turned to the dark side. Actually, I have heard one of the SQ cars that he built, and it sounded very nice. More than anything, he just wants to work with me on my car. It is a good deal overall.

Mr. Hughes' name rings no bells, but honestly, I never had very much interest in the SPL side of things... at least not as far as whos who, or who was competing.

Are you going into SPL competition? Its definitely a cool sport, I enjoy seeing the crazy setups... it's just not my thing to actually partake in.

Gonz, I have seen that 300m before. And my Focal rep said that sonically it was sweet, but as far as staging and imaging, the car would only be a show car, not a comp car. besides, 300grand to put on a 300m? shame. but the doors rock!

also I have met Mark Eldridge a decade ago, I know Gary Biggs and Rob Rice, from competing against them back in the mid 90's. I met Harry Kimura back at the 94 or 96 IASCA Finals when he competed with his acura. I had a taurus that was all McIntosh back then. Scott I have yet to meet but I will I am sure. And an SPL god....is going to help me tune my car this weekend. maybe you know him too...Michael Hughes?

Ehh, sorry bro, but you can't sound good in your hood either. Thats how your neighbors find out that you've got the best stuff to steal.

You gotta go at least two neighborhoods over to enjoy your system.

I don't even put my faceplate on till I'm at least a few blocks away.

WTFO!!! you're depressing me. lol. Oh well, I'm just going to do my thing I guess. As long as I stay the best sounding ride in my hood, I'm cool. :)

C'mon man...

Local shops ALWAYS pick their own best customers as the winners. Everybody knows that. I think Tweeter sound-offs are famous for that.

Hang on a minute...

What about a guy like Joe Doe, who did his install himself, over the course of a year, straight blood sweat and tears... his best work to date.

What about Timmy Smith, his first install, ain't pretty but sounds fantastic! He got a little help tuning from the guys at the shop.

Then theres Richard Cranium, paid $30,000 for top shelf equipment and a pro-installer to do a custom job.

Then theres Sly Marvin, he's really sponsored, but don't tell anyone. His brother owns a custom install shop and DLS gave them lots of shit free.

All four of these guys get placed on the same playing field in SQ Rookie class to compete against each other. Fair?

Thats quite close to a real life example, actually.
