Managed to pick up 1st place at the comp on Satdy

Still quite a few things to fix though...

Congrats! What was your DB reading??

Bullion · « **Reply #32 on:** Apr 18, 2006, 11:46PM »

Thanks teena,

But this system is not built for dB Drag comps. It is an SQ (Sound Quality) car. I would be lucky to hit 120dB!!!

how did they maesure sq or was it all done by ear and preference of judges?

Bullion · « **Reply #34 on:** Apr 19, 2006, 08:39AM »

SQ is scored on a number of things.

Here is the scoring sheet. Basically, one or two judges (depending on class) will sit in your car with a specialised CD that has some of the most well recorded music you can find and they score on you certain aspects of the sound that your system produces.

If you would like to know what any of that score sheet means just ask, I'd be happy to help

For others, get a high quality version of Madonna - Border line..

It farkin hammers SQ wise.

Yeah it is all Stinger HPM wiring, with I think Helix RCA's.

wow! looks sweet during the day but when those lights come on at night its unbelievable. congrats on an awesome system. are you happy with your alpine products? no regrets (not that there should be)? once again well done, looks the goods

Bullion · « **Reply #43 on:** May 17, 2006, 02:17PM »

Thank guys!

Yes completely happy with all the products so far. Some of you may not know, I work for an Alpine dealer, thought I should let you know beforehand.

Since I work all day with it, I know what sort of gear will go best for my application. It may not necessarily be the best gear for everyone. And of course, yes, I do get staff discounts. There's no way I would have this system if I had to pay full price, as it stands it reaches $10,000+ to buy retail. Those splits would cost you $3000 alone...

But in saying that, it has never failed me and has worked flawlessly. If I had not worked for an Alpine dealer, I would not have chosen a full Alpine system (mainly because of the cost factor) so I am in no way saying this brand is the best

still it pumps some bloody awesome sound out! especially in terms of SQ

Rake · « **Reply #45 on:** May 18, 2006, 12:03AM »

That install looks absolutely tops. I really like the A-pillar install. I'd like to do something much the same - stealth/discreet install, with good sound quality.

Given your obvious expertise on this, feel like giving me some tips on what to get? > http://www.antrx.com/smf/index.php?topic=10501.0 (Throw suggestions in there to keep your own thread on topic

Pics of the DVD screen as per requested

Pre-warning, they are big... will take them off and put a link if you want?

NIZ013 · « **Reply #47 on:** Jun 2, 2006, 12:14AM »

Thanks for that Richard!!! Mine should be right then, seeing as it's 7" screen as well... Fingers crossed the install isn't too hard for my faithful installers...

Nothing's too hard for your faithful installers

Sticky · « **Reply #49 on:** Jun 2, 2006, 08:25AM »

hah unless it involves fitting a boot release

Jono · « **Reply #50 on:** Jun 4, 2006, 03:12AM »

Ha! Proved you wrong!

Back on topic now: Teena's Sony 7" screen clears both her climate controls and gear stick

Awesome stuff!
