Team Second Skin - Looking For Members!

Recommended Posts

That is right, Second Skin Audio is looking for four individuals to become part of Team Second Skin and aid us in our quest for world domination!

The contest starts today, so please read and understand all of the rules, it'll make your and our lives that much easier.

This contest is posted on several forums, so please only one entry per person. If you frequent another forum more often, I would suggest entering over there instead.

The contest consists of three rounds.

Round 1: Initial entry

Round 2: Member voting

Round 3: Final selection

RULES

Round One:

To enter for your chance to become part of Team Second Skin, please post a video showing off your build(s), awards/trophies, whatever you think best showcases your ride, your skill level, and yourself. We're looking for the complete package. If your attitude stinks, we don't want ya.

Those who don't have access to a video camera can still enter, just post a hell of a lot of pictures, a little bit about yourself, and why you think you should be part of Team Second Skin.

Entries must be posted within 30 days of this thread being started.

Round Two:

After 30 days of collecting entries, those who have followed the rules from Round One will be gathered up and a new thread started listing all of the entries. The members of the forum will then vote on who they would like to see at meets, competitions, and to be part of Team Second Skin.

Voting will last for 14 days after this thread has been started.

Round Three:

After 14 days of members voting, we will take the winner of Round Two and enter them with the winners from the other forums where this contest is being held.

Out of all of the winners from Round Two, Second Skin Audio will choose at least four to become part of Team Second Skin.

Winners will be notified via PM. A winners list will also be posted on each forum where this contest is being held.

EXPECTATIONS

Members of Team Second Skin will be required to abide by the following.

- A "Team Second Skin" decal must be installed on the front and rear windows of your vehicle. Size of the decal will range depending on the size of your windshield/rear window. A smaller "Second Skin Audio" decal must be placed on both driver and passenger sides of the vehicle. So a total of four decals must be placed on the vehicle, one on the windshield, one on the rear window, one of the passenger's side (location at your discretion), and one on the driver's side (again the location at your discretion). All of these decals will be provided to you at no cost.

Second Skin themed paint jobs are optional and must be approved by us. Of course you would have to pay for this yourself.

- You are required to hit at least four big shows each year in whichever organization you are competing in.

- You must check in and post your results with pictures and or video after you've competed, within a timely manner.

- Please try to hit events with your teammates as often as possible. Of course this isn't always doable because of location or the fact that you might be in two separate events, but you should at least try to support your fellow teammates.

PERKS

Of course there are perks for being part of Team Second Skin!

- 50% off everything Second Skin Audio has to offer.

- Decals and other promotional items. These will be sent out periodically.

- First in line to receive and test new products.

- Street cred.

- And any other stuff we can think of.

THE FINE PRINT 

Second Skin Audio reserves the right to terminate this contest at any point and time.

Second Skin Audio also reserves the right to boot any team member that is unable to abide to the EXPECTATIONS set forth or if they do not conduct themselves to our high standards. If we get reports or see first hand that you are being an ass or a jerk, we can and will remove you from the team without warning.

This "Team Second Skin" is new and completely separate from any previously formed team sponsored by Second Skin Audio. The team that was created by the previous owner is no longer the official team.

If anyone has any questions, please email Ken, Max, or myself to prevent cluttering up this thread.

Let The Contest Begin, Round One!

Now that all of the rules are out of the way, lets get this baby rolling!

To enter please post in the following format.

Real name: i.e. John Doe

Organization in which you are or will be competing in: i.e. USACi

Comp vehicle: i.e. 1984 VW Rabbit Cabriolet 

Current setup: i.e. Two 18" DC Lvl 4 XL, etc.

Why you should be part of the team: i.e. Post video(s), pictures, and whatever you think best showcases you and you're ride.

Good luck to everyone!

Now lets get it on!

You want forum members to pick who is on your team? :ughdunno:

I think the team should ask people to join the team, at least that's how it is when I go to truck/car shows.

The team as it stands is small, so doing this contest will give everyone across the country a fair chance to become part of the team.

Of course we have final say and we may invite some people onboard just because. But allowing the forum members (your peers) vote on who they would like to see at these meets and competitions helps give us a good a bit more info about the individual. Obviously if the person is an asshat none of their peers will vote them through.

Every team starts out small, and if the people were hand picked by the team members it'd make that individual feel like he's actually apart of the team.

I guess it boils down to what you want out of the team.. a bunch of walking/driving billboards to promote your company or an actual team that gets together and helps each other out.

As easy as it is to join a team when it comes to things like this make me laugh. If I were to start a team, lets say for customs trucks.. I would go to shows and appreciate the work and time the fabricator has put into his/her truck and go on about how I would like them to join to my team. I wouldn't go on stage before awards are givin' out and ask the people at the show who they would like to see on my team.

Don't take this the wrong way, make the team how you'd like it to be made.. after all, it is your team.

Remember this . . . a company creating a team is a BUSINESS decision. If the idea of a billboard is disappointing to you then being sponsored by a company isn't your way to go. They don't want to just give you discounted/free stuff and not get anything in return. They want people who can represent their company and create new customers. With that being said I will post my "application" in here soon :D

Edit:

Its opportunities like this that allow people without a much experience to break into sponsorships! Like myself. I am a noob after all :P

i agree to some point but having individual team members pick might work more for a local type deal. I think the goal od second skin is to get some outside advice on who should be picked not necessarily the forum poll is the end all result. A good example of this in action is when nasa had a poll to name the new space station node. The poll was to vote on a number of prechoosen names nasa had set forth or to submit your own name. The final result of the poll was the winner was a user submitted "colbert" (steven colbert got his viewers to vote his name). The vote wasn't even close it colbert was ahead by alot. But nasa said thats stupid and choose the top voted nasa name (as can be expected)

Im sure if someone doesnt fit the bill for what second skin wants then they wont be part of the team regardless of how many people vote for them. BUT having an ear on the ground for what a wide range of people, and more importantly potential customers, are looking for is never a bad thing.

Why you should be part of the team:

I've done a lot to my car, but it'll never be complete. I'm always changing setups and tweaking settings to get a better well rounded system. The best I've managed in meca in spl is a 146.7 @ 40hz. This year I plan on breaking 150 and focusing on a better front stage for sq (turning bass way way down). I'm pretty active on ssa, I try to help people as much as I can, whenever I can. I'm not perfect, not a know it all, but I do my best to learn and inform others. I live in Tucson, AZ, about 15 minutes away from the SS warehouse :P

Pretty much any car audio show in the southern az region I attend. I give a fair amount of demos here and there, often times talking about the xcons and how damn good they sound, I'm sure people would also like to know what sound deadener I use, and how to use it (cld for panel resonance, mlv for sound deadening, ccf for panel decoupling).

I currently have no sound deadener in my vehicle, and I believe a SS sticker would look good with all the others on my rear / side window. :P

I've proven my abilities, and am hungry for more. I have a lot of plans, and would be more than happy to put second skin in, and on my car. Below are my competitor stats, and some videos/pics.
