I went to a little car showoff / competition yesterday. This was in no way an actual 'organized' competition. Classes were setup as single subwoofer / double subwoofers / Three + subwoofers. After going through all the contestants, they handed out the trophies and prizes. First up was single subwoofer, my class! They call third place, at a 136.9db (I think i got this shit in the bag for 2nd place and my buddy would get 1st place). Then, they call 2nd place.. NOT me 142.1db. Finally they call my buddy for first place at 148.7db. So. I go up to the sheet and check my name.. I got 144.7db! They skipped my name i guess.. Anyways i told the instructor of the competition and he told me I can swing by his shop and he will make it up to me. But I still got screwed out of a trophy.
ps : all metering was done by an audiocontrol, thats why my number was about 3 db louder than a week ago.

The English is struggling a little bit in the post.
But yeah, It was fun to start going to competitions, even though they arent super serious or anything like that, there still fun! Looks like ill need to wait for the next one in order to get my first trophy.

But, seriously, those people are mucho special needs. The best part was the explanation that they gave us at the shop and the fact that, at the show they took responsibility but the next day they were saying it was the other people who screwed up. I still think it was sabotage because everyone who was on the team was from a competitors audio store. And the co-hosts had turned down the audio show to co-host in favor of these pricks.

ohjay - We're definitely not calorie counters, 'cause we can't count that high.
onebadmonte: Did you feel it?
denim: Yes, both monitors were shaking bad. I work at a mid-size engineering firm. Funny story, the structural department all stood up and none of us said a word and we all hustled out of the building, the entire electrical, process, mechanical and piping departments were staring at us.
Julian: "Our Structural engineering senses are tingling, quick let the weaker electrical, process, mechanical and piping departments die!"
