Of course, looking at this question in the broader sense....
Unfortunately, SQ took a backseat to SPL in terms of competitions. And it's easy to see why, cars that sound really good aren't all that sexy to watch actually competing. But watching/LISTENING/FEELING!!! cars breaking 160 SPL is very exciting. And that's the direction competitive venues went. But as Tony demonstrated IASCA is still around and you can still be a member and recieve two of their AWESOME competition and tune-up CD's. But try to find an IASCA event? That's a different story.

Yes, and that brings up the whole issue of using RTA measurements as a
guideline for scoring in the first place. IASCA introduced the RTA as a tool for scoring as a way to make these contests less subjective (like the SPL contests). But we all know a perfectly flat RTA reading would SOUND terrible (there would be no bass and WAY too much treble). Yes, I know, what they were looking for was dramatic differences between one frequency band to the next (which DOES effect sound quality if you have sever cancellation or standing wave effects). But I knew SOOOO many competitors (hell, I did it) that had one EQ setting for the RTA portion and one EQ setting for the subjective, in car listening portion because we all knew what the RTA wanted to see. HOW MUCH SENSE DOES THAT MAKE?!?!?! It was those kind of things that hurt IASCA. MOSFET "I. Care" wrote in message et... In article , says... People don't do opinion comps no more. If you saw the judges I did you know why. I also saw 2 freshly calibrated RTA's of the same brand give different readings in the same vehicle. Must have been placement problems even though they measured distance from windshield, since the same stand was used, and the mic and RTA are calibrated together I believe. Or maybe since one of them was used for SQ that mic was damaged before the unlimited SPL contest was started? I could tell you some stories about SQ judging! -- I.
