Well, I ended up with 10th place in my class.. 13 or 14 cars total.
I knew when I was going in that I wasn't going to win, but my only goal was to make it up on stage.
I walked away with a nice little plaque that says "10th place, IASCA World Finals"

that bigass silver trophy woulda been nice, but that's okay.. there's always later when I have more money and time.

Had I had more time to tune the car and get it ready after finishing my door pods, I would have done much better. I got a 42 out of 60 on my sound quality, which really isn't bad for using brand new speakers that haven't had a week to break-in.

I hit my new high SPL of 133.2dB with an RTA score of 16 (out of 20).. My last show I scored 130.7dB and 17 on RTA, so I can't complain about that end of things. The only stuff that I really lacked on was attention to detail and some minor install things that had I had an extra day or two to prepare, I could have done much better. maybe 3rd or 4th.

Of the other 2 guys that I usually competed against in my area, one got 3rd place, and the other didn't even make the top 10. Obviously he wasn't happy, but it was all fair. We all played by the rules.


<B>thanks again to Bill (slickismax), Kaleb, BeigeMaxima, and John for helping out this weekend.. I wouldn't have been near ready to compete</b>

I may not have won, but 10th in the world isn't bad at all!

 

Congratulations to Matt.

 

How was your drive home, bud? I tried to call Bill's house about 5:45 before the awards stuff, but noone answered..
