    This will be the biggest show I have ever been to, with the exception of early 90's IASCA comp. Anybody else going?

    This was my first big show and it was amazing. Met a lot of great people for the first time (Big Al and Tony Rodriguez). Sorry I didn't get to meet you Kris but we'll put all the blame on Al since he didn't introduce us. Much to my surprise I placed 2nd in IASCA out of 11 cars. I placed 18th out of the top 30 and picked up a nice pair of JAMO home bookshelf speakers with stands. I did not place in the top 3 of MECA. I was really hoping to pick up some points there. All in all though, in the back of my mind I was saying, "Don't finish last, Don't finish last". I'll see if I can find some photos that Al didn't already show.

    Travis Chin judged my truck, and told me my right midbass didn't seem to be playing...especially noticeable on tracks with only right-channel information. I got in and listened, and it was playing fine one normal stereo content, but when playing right channel identification, the woofer was completely silent. Before I could do anything to fix it, Mike Flanagan came over to judge and I just kept my fingers crossed. When he got out, he said it was the highest he's ever scored it, but when listening to "Dock of the Bay" the right channel sounded really thin, so I needed to check my woofer. I pulled out the laptop and eventually figured out my routing in the Helix was wrong...I had both left and right midbass being fed by only the left channel. I fixed the routing and it didn't change my image very much, but I ended up with some interaction issues with my sub. I ended up finishing 6 out of 9 in Meca, and dead last in both Iasca and Emma
