i saw an iasca build off on tv d oda day and i think its very interesting...it doh require a billion dollars to enter ...jus ur tools and box building skills... sound off and spl fun eh but only when you winning (well thats what i think)...with d build off yuh actually have fun doin it even if u dont win...

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while ya'll getting smarter in car audio...i behind times and have outdated knowledge...ask me anything about a car show and i could give u full run down and info...DONT ask me anything bout boxes please....i have no tools to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.

haha i was 14 wen i commented on this thread! LOL now im 16, car audio is MY THANG!and i'm into galley at the moment, i guess gradually as ure knowledge increases, the SQ or maybe SPL stuff start to come in, well most ppl from wht i've seen.. as i get some ting during the summer, hopefully then i would put together everyting and head for competitions Shocked

from the time i was in form 1 and ah fella come wit ah 6"and two motorola tweets, powered by a coby walk man (no cassette(disc man did not come to trinidad yet)), and it was supposed to use 2 penlite batteries but he use 4 @6volts,,,, i was hooked.
i ripped speakers from anyting i could get and put them in any ting it could at least rest on * sewing machine draw, heater box, brylcream container, mayonaise jar, 6" pvc collar, milo pan etc, etc, etc.

until i did physics for o' and a' just to learn more about sound waves. ( yes my subjects was done to learn about music)

i came up with a design for 4" 20 watts sound blasters to fit in a gym bag powered by a pio deck run off a motor cycle battery to carry to skool.. heard the bass from the third floor all the way to the volley ball court during lunch time!!!
the original design i wanted to do but did not think it could work i later discovered that bose designs their internal just like that

so doh feel badd u jus go boy ruffneck_12,

well I am 24 and I am interested not too much in loud loud music, but more into the sound quality that I get. I love my bass to be balanced along with everything else in the music. I dont want over bearing basslines that drown out the other parts of the music or rattling the whole damn car lol. I have other threads I posted inthis forum simply to find out what are good pieces of hardware to achieve what I want to hear

i am not quite 18 yet but i have 17.

i love car audio and all aspects about it. i love crowdpleaser , spl and SQ i enjoy all of them. i would stray more to the crowdpleaser side because of the loud liming kind of system.

right now i have a small 1 12" system and i am planning on improving this system as the years go by. The system will be a CP system but spl oriented so i cant compete in it cuz i really like spl as well.

i also like originality and in doing my system in the future i am looking for equipment that you don't see in much cars , and i try to look for unique designs in the system.

carfreak1024 · Posted: Sun Jun 07, 2009 4:53 pm Post subject:

well i am 17 years old, and my license on the way, i doin music since i was about 11 years old and i start out with a pioneer SA-9500II that i get from my father old room in my grandparents house. Somewhere else i was lookin by my uncle and i find 2 piezo tweeters, my older brother a month later went and get a klipsch promedia 5.1 system with a blown sub amp and he gave me the box and speakers.

So now i had the pioneer amp, the piezo tweets, and the 2 klipsch 8", and i was rell lovin myself.

Since then i have grown in the car audio thing and have moved onto better things, still have that pioneer amp though, i now have 2 10" JBL W10GTI, Polk Audio MOMO Mids, and a JBL GTO14001 for bass.

I know that i still i still have years worth of knowledge to gain and i can't imagine what i will know in the next 6 years.

If anyone decides to give classes and ting, i would be the first to come for classes, i really wanna know more about car audio schematics. I recently started to do fiberglass and wanna learn a little bit more about that. When it comes to going into car audio as a field, maybe as a side business, but i really wanna do architecture instead.

i'm 22 and as a trini honestly i does dig up off and again i would like to learn some techniques in the electrical area along also with box building techniques how to design build and tune properly

viking1705 · Posted: Sun Jun 07, 2009 6:10 pm Post subject:

well since i wasn't around wen dis post was made i'l comment now.
I'm 20 and i also hav a deep fascination with ice..all aspects of it.i especially hav a likin for competitions and gallery systems.love the loud bass..lol..but i also love a good sq system and will always admire guys with a clean loud well balanced system in their car..not like now adays wen fellas pullin up in a show makin noise wit a set a speaker ontop d car soundin distorted.
I've also been experimentin wit car audio since i was like 11 hookin up cassette deck and the old pioneer speakers that used to com in foreighn used cars at the time, in my father 120y..i've never been to an installer in my life and can safely say i've never burnt a sub either.lol..i got my first car a couple years back wen i was17 and did d normal cd deck and 6x9 speakers everybody does put at first.saved my money and bought a boss 2000 amp used and added a 10" old model pio also used and left the 6x9's for mids.gradually i kept savin my money and up grading and now i'm usin a 15" atomic wit ciare 10's for mids.i'd say i came a long way however i hav alot to learn.
i wud love to learn more about the theory and science behind ice.will also love to get formal trainin in speaker repairs,amp repairs,box construction as well as any knowledge about car audio i dont know.bcuz although to me my music sounds great i kno it can be better and i kno there are tings i can do wit the same equipment i hav to sound better thats why everytime i play my music i listen carefully to check if anything sounds offkey.Almost every other day i does do a tune over and every time i hear a difference.but thats experimentin i wanna be able to do it and kno exactly wat i'm doin not jus tryin.
So far i've done near to 24 installations and they all sound great but i cant help the fact that i feel i can do more.maybe make them sound extraordinary.lol..but most of all i wanna be able to build the boxes so if som1 comes to me for an install i eh ha to reccommend som1else i can do it.i also will like to learn more about the electrical area as well concerning alternator upgradin and installin high voltage alternators.but all thats my goals i'l reach there dont worry.

22 and love all aspects of i.c.e., but education taking most of my funds right now..but that not gonna stop me from learning more abt music related stuff

18 years of age so far,....I'm into car audio,....currently I'm mixed on options in going into gallery or a hardcore sq system. I've been hooking up music since I was 12(as usual i started off small). I was introduced to this aspect of a lifestyle by my cousin and uncle,.....till this day I've been hooked on car audio and well I keep having the urge to keep upgrading. So far I've only had 5 smallish systems but due to an emergency I had to sell out to help out a friend for a very rewarding purpose. As i said before I'm thinking of doing a 1 15'' SPL system to use on weekends seeing tht i dont use on a vehicle i dont use much often or a SQ system to a daily driven car. Its very niice to see this thread,.....I'll keep overviewing it from time to time. Wink

late as usual, but

i'm 22 and i've been hooked on car audio since we got our b13 (standard 5 Embarassed

)

i'm interested in everything car audio related but i'm not competition driven.

its a hobby for me and i have done many installs over the years and have always learned something from each of them (so i can only imagine the knowledge gained from formal training)

may one day do it as a sideline, but i can't really handle the owners hovering.
(sorry SR..............is not mine, so i had to Embarassed

)

Actually working on a car and hearing the result of your work at the end for me is what its all about.

I'm 21, I just want a nice sounding system that doesnt go toooo far outside of my car. and of course.. stealth instals..had a system pilfered once.. would hate to see it happene again

TheWiseOne · Posted: Mon Jun 22, 2009 10:43 am Post subject:

im 20, i've been in car audio since i was about 15

i recently ( about 2 years) deicded to do car audio installation and sales as my full time job.

i do any kind of system, be it competition,spl or sq but i mainly like to do custom "pretty" installs.

also it would be nice to have some formal training with regards to i.c.e because u can always learn something new, weither it be physics behind car audio or just tips and tricks.

Im 24 and practically grew up with car audio....father used to hook up music in some of dem Maxi long time...i do it as a part time/sideline business along with car alarms...you never too old to learn stuff in this. the possibilities are endless.

I'm 21 been in this thing since I was about 12.. taking apart ole radio speaker and plugging it into my cassette Walkman and ringin out.. Laughing

I've really grown alot since then basically gained alot of knowledge from reading through product manuals @ first and later on many online forums.. i have gained alot of knowledge from there and has helped me alot with practical applications.. I would be very interested in formal training..

I have only entered competition on 2 occasions IDBL and gallery and surprisingly won 2 trophy's thus far. its a nice experience I'm just basically trying to gather as much experience from all aspects of car audio as i can.. getting into some Sound Quality applications this year lets see how it goes Smile

SR · Posted: Wed Jun 24, 2009 2:35 pm Post subject:

thread going nice

i started doing car audio since form 1
first install was a pioneer deck and 4 6" on the backdash of a kingswood

use to buy all the car audio magazines since then and i probably still have all at home
learnt a lot from those magazines while in high school
and last year i got to meet a few of the techinical writers for those mgas as well

entered my 1st sq comp at the age of 18 and won car was built by myself

the rest is history

I'm 20 i'm kind of a late bloomer i got into the ice jus after i sat cxc sum 4 yrs ago and i've been a total addict since then lol....i have a basic idea and concept of the science of the music but i don't stand for basic i would love to learn more it would defiantly be a breath of fresh air for me ......i tried my hand at spl last yr at an iasca meet and boi was i totally unprepared {cause lack of knowledge} ...tried CP after even more unprepared .....I simply love the competition makes me strive for more ....currently i'm still in a learning phase both at school and in the ice field so time is kind of limited but i love the sport ie music ta death all of it CP,SQ AND SPL ......So i would defiantly be intrested if someone gave a little pointers my way once in awhile Smile
