anyone interested in a mini SOUND OFF contest at BAM 11?

Just wanna see if anyone is interested...

See how loud your car is (just found my radio shack spl meter... lol)...

See how good your car sounds using music you'd probably never listen to... (for example, Jennifer warnes' "bird on a wire")

See how well your installation is ("do I really need to put a fuse within 18 inches from the battery?" -- see if I can find my 2004 IASCA RULE BOOK... lol...)

See how well your system sounds to a 30 octive band RTA meter (found a cool app for my android phone...)

And if anyone has access to an audio control SA 2035, I'd like to use that (or any thing in that professional range of gear)...

That can be done also... using the SAE 1169 standard testing with the mic at minimum of 20 inches away from exhaust tip, while at a 45.degree and elevated from the ground at 8 inches...

That would be nice up until we get kicked out. I'm sure you don't want to be the one who causes that, right?

I'm not sure that you know what our contract with the site states about the music, etc. - but please check with me first before trying to organize something that could be harmful to the hosting of this event.

Thanks.

Put my truck in it..lol. 2 - 1500 watt kicker amps. Each one running to a Rockford t1 12 sub @ 2 ohms. Polk audio in the doors pushing 400 watts. I have to open all the windows just to turn it 1/4 the way up.

Roo ... good point.. upscale places like this I bet would not like the added sound

But it would ne nice to get everyones exhaust check per chp spec so we all know were we stand.

I can invite the CHP to come on out and judge this contest, if you guys would like to have them there. Otherwise the only thing this activity would do is ensure we never get to use this location again, and f*** up the meet. It's not like you guys give a f**k or anything, since it's not YOUR money (yes, we're two vendors short, so I'm paying off the balance) that's being put into this event. What you guys don't realize is that the winery has a tasting room (separate building) which will still be open to the public. Having excessive noise will NOT sit well with the owners, and they have a clause in the contract which allows them to kick us out WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE for disturbing their business operations. I don't get what's so hard to understand about that? You sound like a fu**ing bunch of Honda Ricers who are working as hard as you can to F**k this up - and I have no idea why.


Hmm, now how to get hold of (retired) officer Rossette to come on out and judge the show?
