Lance, casper, any input here?

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

oh i am late to this thread, im 21 and love car audio

thing is.. my personal opinion is that anyone can go loud and clean, dats if they want 2 fling out all dat cash..

the real challenge is a well built, thought out sq system... this is where the principle , 80% installation 20% equipment comes into play the most.. to me

right now i am workin on a SQ system and the challenge is amazing!!

but as for competition..no

For those who haven't heard competition cars, or don't know what SQ competition is about, pass in on June 7th for the IASCA SQ event. It's free to the public. The guys there should be able to demo their competition systems.

25. I dont compete. im into the street beat. Love my music clean and loud. Want to learn about tuning and would love training instead of having to go by my tuner every month to do over my tuning. Jeez! Neutral

silent_riot is ONLY 22??? Surprised

....and FLICKIN Rene is 23???...nah nah nah...

BWDMCID?!?!?!?! Shocked

i'm 24

i wouldnt lie...sometimes i envy some of ya'll younger guys like SS626, and 3stage and Jon and markzz etc who have time to educate themselves in I.C.E...dont have much time to do reading as how i hadda see about the mk site and also d crew.. Sad

while ya'll getting smarter in car audio...i behind times and have outdated knowledge...ask me anything about a car show and i could give u full run down and info...DONT ask me anything bout boxes please....i have no tools to experiment in building boxes neither the space at home so i knows nothing bout how to tune a box etc...all i know is to divide total volume by 1728 to get cub ft... Laughing

i have plenty experience with Dj speakers, loud subs, amps and processing so i may be able to give good advice there

basically i'd like to learn more and expand/gain more knowledge behind different genres of car audio such as SQ and SPL...

i always try to encourage ppl to compete in anything...what we did in the earlies with our crew was evaluate each member's strength...and help them build towards that...some ppl dat came in the crew in the earlies wanted to compete in CP and when we realised budget and equipment being used, we adviced them to try they hand at SPL...the 2 that we gave that advice to (yos19 and DJ Q) came in at 2nd in their class at last year's MK/IASCA national finals in IDBL Twisted Evil

i really in this thing to help ppl out by encouraging them to dig deep within themselves to unleash their potential...an individual feels stronger with a team behind them...plenty ppl that used to go car shows and never had the belly to compete now competes because they have us as a family behind them giving them encouragement...that alone is enough happiness for me...although i still would like to be more informed bout other stuff as well...i guess when i have a lil more free time i wont mind doing some reading up....

i'm 23
been doing this audio thing since i was 15 on a very small scale but over the years it has expanded and is now my full time hobby..

tried my hand at SPL and crowd pleaser and i suprised myself alot with the outcomes..especially with the equipment i'm using Very Happy

Over the years i've gathered knowledge on the whole "car audio scene" and it has worked well for me since but i have no problem with taking up any formal training etc that would further advance my capabilities Wink

casper, a year and a half passed since the thread was started so I'm 23 now.
All of the guys on Team 2lo2flo are around the same age, 22-25, even uncle fuzz.
It's nice to see that most people in this thread have taken up some form about competition after the responses earlier last year.
People must also remember that competition is also a means of learning, and you need to fall a few times before you learn to stand on your own two feet, so don't be afraid of losing.
