Nsw Sound Off

[Liquid]

Hey, just thought i'd say a few words about a car audio install I got a few days ago.

I started out looking for a good quality system and ended up going to FHRX.

The main reasons is common discount retail shops such as generally don't have a clue or the right brands and other 'quality' franchise places tend to overcharge.

You'd be hard pressed to get a better intall of the equipment and labour, considering how much time was actually spent was rediculously cheap.

Have a look at the texture in the A colum and then try to work out how they did it

They also like to take lots of happy snaps http://zen.cable.nu/cgi-bin/photos.pl?titl...ion=car/audio1/ of the install as they go so you get to see all the stuff you otherwise wouldn't.

Yeha anyway... getting back to the Sound Off... 2 days after I got back my hifi the SQ (Sound Quality) comp was on I came along, entered and managed to win 2nd in ameture street.

It was a good day dispite the rain and i'd really encourage anyone out there to come along.

Free food and donouts and chocolate!!! =D

What the judges are looking for in SQ is... well... quality. (not quantitiy)... The general idea is that a live recording should sound like a live peformance.

Even if you don't have a hifi its a really good oppertunity to come along and see and listen to what other people have done.

There's all kinds of budgets, from high end show cars to DIY < $1000 systems.

One of the better scores actually went to one that was under $1000 simply because it was well setup. (MB Quart fronts, 100W clarion sub).

The next round should be coming along some time in May. I'll post some info in the events section when it gets closer.

Cleutin, they're the sanctioned dB drags champ, not CAASQ.

The sanctioned CAASQ (Car Audio Australia Sound Quality) competition series in NSW is run by us and while these sometimes coincide with the dB Drag events, they are two totally different competitions. The dates for the upcoming CAASQ (not SPL) sound offs are:

NSW Round 3: Sunday 27th May (coincides with SHOOKU's BBQ)

NSW Round 4: Sunday 24th June (conincides with Doran SPL event)

NSW Round 5: Saturday 28th July

NSW Round 6: Sunday 26th August (conincides with Doran SPL event)

NSW Round 7: Saturday 29th September

National Finals: Saturday 13th October

I hole that clears things up a little.
