- why not. I keep hearing how I should get a small trophy for my efforts. LOL. Its all in good fun right?
Yep, Small challenge... Small trophy... Good fun! Hmmmm.....If I remember correctly from Finals last year, my car won the SQ section by several points, and yours won the installation section. One point overall difference between the total scores. If only I had remembered to put those two new pages in my photo book after I installed the new amplifiers... I lost about ten points for not having pictures of the wiring on the underside of the amp rack... Oh well... My mistake, your big trophy... Doesn't that thing poke you at night when you roll over into it??? OK... Back to the serious matter of classifying SQ cars... Mark Eldridge | |

| Ralph, you've got a seriously un-fair advantage with the boat oar you use to stir the pot, compared to the tablespoons the rest of us have to use. Plus, you can always just dump the pot and start over again...
Go find your own class... Ummm, I mean your own thread to stir up... | |

| I kinda sailed into a good fortune of sorts. I am now working for Digital Designs and we are building an SQ/Demo vehicle for next season. I can pm you and explain further.
Some times I think I should go into politics as much as I flip flop on my decisions.

| I love the spirit of competition. When we win, it is bacause we are the best. When we lose, it is because of some unforseen reason beyond our control, ot that was overlooked. That is what keeps us coming back. The Spirit of Competition.
Good luck to everyone at Finals! | |

| Tim and Ralph- Chris actually brought up a good point. When my Audi's seat is in the position where I can sit in it, the Front seat is literally touching the rear seat. Alot of VW's and Audi's are that way until you get into the A6/A8. So in my mind, who cares about back seats? If they leave the car, it generally doesn't make the car sound any better. Plus, as I read it, when you remove a backseat, you remove the federally mandated safety equipment... So doesn't that put you in Expert? If it doesn't... Then why can't I remove the front seat belts too? I personally LOVE the Extreme class. Make it a anything goes. No rules. Who cares if you are in the back seat, roof, bed, etc. It is all about having FUN.... | |

| Are you avoiding my question Ben? Or was it just not important? Simply put. The removal of a back seat does not require the removal of safety equipment. You had better keep those seatbelts in the front seats. The front seats typically require at least a driver for the vehicle, don't they? I like stirring the pot a little. It's all fun and games until some one falls out of their car. I could do tha with a seat belt in place. | |

| I mounted my front seats to face the back deck on a swivel...like the old full size vans. That way I can spin it around to drive. That'll fly...right? | |

The Latter. IASCA used to have the back seat safety equipment rule. That was changed about three years ago. (Maybe 4.) I like the way MECA words it.... Something about Unsafe Operation or the like in the vehicle. If you have a Rustang, A Tib, an RX7, the back seat has GOT to go for ANY audio work. The truth of the matter is, Car Audio is and should be fun. We should have a class with NO rules in it other than must play a CD and must use 12v gear. And see what people do. | |

| Ben...that's what I hope the SQ Extreme class turns into...no holds barred, motorized vehicle, media player, and 12v gear....all the other rules are out. | |

| Hell, I might buy a beater to put in the extreme class. It would be a great bit of fun to see what we can come up with for the class.
My rustang will have rear seat missing, filled with equipment, and ready for ProQ.
Yes Lou, I am following you big boy! | |
