One of my main questions ... Is why is there still a Judge or two that actually thinks Sub bass from the rear is good? It blows my freaking mind .... I have even heard one say and i qoute " Ive never been to a rock concert and didn't hear alot of bass" Can you believe this? First off a ROCK CONCERT... LOL that makes me almost cry.. Second wouldn't that be the furthest from what we as judges look for.. I dont think i have ever heard a ROCK song on the cd's. Anyway ive never been to an Jazz or Classical concert and heard bass all over the place... Maybe im smoking too much not sure.... Please inlighten me. Cause im loosing faith in this INDUSTRY.... Especially if ive been listening and judging vehicles wrong... I give up.

jsketoe = John Sketoe = my partner in crime at finals

Shane, thanks for the props!!

I agree John but I have no clue when/if we can pull it off. Maybe new venue will = new procedures. I'm sure this year we'll probably be going up a little early so the possibility is there....

I just think it would be good for judges plus experienced competitors to learn what is being looked/listened for.

I agree 100% ... Like i said before i wont name names but they are out there that believe ALOT OF BASS REAR OR FRONT IS OKAY. This would help because i know ive judged a few guys that had their rides way too heavy on the bass and when i said they had to much they told me..." Hey last weekend in blah blah the guy told me . " "Dude you got all those subs in there and there not on" LOL ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh my.

I agree, I would love to attend Smile

It would be nice to bring the SQ training back for sure! We need consistency among all of the judges so that competitors know what to do. If I can help in any way to pull this off let me know.

Jimbo - the only thing I can say is that some people like more bass.

Hell, at Trifecta in San Antonio, we had the Trifecta judge tell us he wanted a little more low-end sub-bass...

I've had other judges tell me the low-end sub bass in the car is absolutely incredible.

Who knows...one show doesn't make or break you, it's if you can do it over and over and over again that matters....consistency is the key!

You also have to remember that the noise floor has something to do with your midbass and sub-bass levels as well. That's the thing about SQ...there's a lot of opinion on the listening side...training will help narrow down the amount of opinion though. But it is there none the less.. afro

Usaci is sending a Judge to train the guys in Thailand later this month, so why not train us. I would definately go to training for this. I wouldn't mind a quick spl training too, just so everyone is on the same page as far as judging goes.

I iwll get with my trainers and see if we can put together a couple of training classes.

One in the Joplin or KC area for sure and perhaps one in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Shreveport may be a good location as well if we can get 12-volt news to host it....

I'd go to some training if it was up here in KC or down in Joplin. Be a nice distraction from real life.
