[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8424415, member: 614752"] If your goal is to compete you should figure out which organization actually has shows that are close enough to you to attend. From there you can see which "classes" they offer and plan around being competitive in whichever class strikes your fancy. Auto sound competitions that aren't based around SPL are pretty well a dying breed AFAIK. At this point getting a flat RTA score is relatively simple with the processing options available and everything else is largely subjective. Sound stage and depth and so forth are really a matter of perception of the judge and something as silly as you being 6" taller than the judge and aiming everything accordingly to YOUR listening position could hurt your hopes of being competitive with something that sounds good for you. OR just do what you like and go to some shows and compete just for the sake of participating. Not like there are prize purses worth the effort, so largely it'll just come down to showing up, making friends with other enthusiasts, and having fun. [/QUOTE]
