Expy2K's Box Building Comp. Pre-Thoughts

Who cares about performance. Expy wants to do a quality and looks kinda contest. Cuz I think having a contest for performase will be quite difficult for those who live in different states.

waste of time for some people? I really have no need to build a box, let alone getting paid around 150 for it....and again the only real thing you can go on is appearance. I mean sure it may lead to some business, but overall, too much time and effort for nothing. people should just throw you their best looking box and have you start a thread w. a poll....? (just a thought)

I think we should let companies enter with a $10 entry fee or so..

But I will def. have to hear what potential contestants have to say about it.

Exactly!

I am looking for the person who can turn a piece of MDF and fiberglass matt into an Emperial Cruiser or Titanic..

Its like a pumpkin carving contest!

Performance is too hard and I dont want people to ship thier boxes here. Besides thats what USACI and others events are for.

I say we have a contest with the texas crew against the chicago crew with say a newyork or florida judge to determine who has to leave the forum.

The listening tests would have to be 100% blind for them to hold any merit.
I'd like to see it somewhere central, where at least some of the contestants could be inattendance... texas is way out of the way.

If I am able to judge all listening portions WILL be 100% blind. And based on atleast 5 judges scoresheets.

Looks and no performance?I might have to get crazy.Well, the idea button just got clicked on in my head, bunch of em' are spinning through.

I'd like some of the score to be on perfomance.If we went on just looks everyone could just take pics.No point in shipping on that.

If we do this, I know it'll shit on the sound domain box contest.Did you even see the boxes of the winners?Some of em' weren't that great.........

My thoughts on how to score the boxes...

1)one sub will be determined to use.

2)vehicle mesurements will be provided

3)frequency responce and responce curve will be determined by computer

4)SPL by computer

5)SQ will be based on atleast 3 to 5 judges with a total of 1-10 score. Each box will get 2 different "passes" in no particular order (all blind tests)

6)creativity and looks (this will be a combined effort off all forum members. Pics will be provided and a short detailed summery of the work put into it. Member will vote on their fav.

yup FOR SHOW FTW! having it for performance will end up getting to hectic. like wat expy says, that's why we have dbdrag, meca, nspl etc. to measure out the performance of the sub to hit a certain sound pressure level.
