Formal Training is a great idea, I would Love to see MECP and other certification available down here,

The SQS is the closest we as young people have recieved, and i personally really appreciate the opportunity to learn.

These are my views that follow,

Others may feel the same,

As a Young person, Finance has ALWAYS been my biggest problem to anything Car Audio, its hard to even think about competing on my budget, I've gotten alot of help to reach this far, call it luck, call it faith, i'm not sure. Either way i'm grateful.
This is where the Issue of Sponsership comes in, I wish More Dealers/distributors would step up to the plate, And Sponser some young people, I'm not saying to Throw equipment behind everyone that asks, but i'm sure you can spot enough Drive and determination in a Young person, to warrent a Sponsership arrangement that both parties could benefit.

To answer the question of why people don't compete, particularly in Sq,

Competing in SQ is intimidating, FULLSTOP. for me, its not so much an issue of cars and equipment getting marked because of the time period SQ competitions are Judged. Just pure intimidation for me.

Its not the same As crowdpleaser or SPL, hence the reason why competition is so active there.
With A crowdpleaser system, there isn't any intimidation, if your loud you are loud and therefore competition worthy, With SPL systems, you pay for a private metering and know if your competition ready way before you compete,

Sound Quality its different, you don't develop an ''ear'' for Sound Quality over night, you don't build a system in one day or a week for that matter. and you certainly don't learn everything off a forum. Its hard work, that requires persistence, Persistence like this, difficult to find in young people in these times.

To the veterans, Start Reaching out, If you Love the sport, and want to see it grow, Suck the pride up. And stop bashing other genres of car audio, That certainly won't help your cause. you may get a few to appear that they are interested but never a genuine ''conversion'', what you would get is a mouth full of words and no action.

Some of this may not make much sense to some people, But this is how I see it,

I was abt 15 with house amps then abt 2yrs ago started diggin up in car audio. i always wondered abt formal training; i didnt know a place down here giving formal edu. in that field. As far as competing- Hell no!! my cousin still living with his mother b/c all his money went into L7s,HCCAs and Mmats. Laughing
