[QUOTE="TheBigPilferer, post: 8863066, member: 690294"] This is interesting. Definitely a shame. Am I the only one that feels that DIYMA has become "pay more mobile audio"? Not that there's anything wrong with buying high end gear, or even buying something just bc you like the brand or want matching gear etc., but to me lower budgets and do it yourself go hand in hand. I have been searching for "SQ" competition level builds that use budget-friendly equipment AND preferably where the owner has done their own tuning. It was also kinda disappointing when I read the rules for the beginner classes and learned that there aren't nearly as many limits as I expected. It seems like you would need a relatively expensive system (to me) to stand a chance. I would like to see the exceptions to this... Maybe I'm biased bc I can't afford such gear lol, but I'm not impressed anymore by seeing someone who has $2500+ in sound treatment products, Helix DSP, and Dynaudio / Focal Utopia / etc $1000+ speakers. On the other side, SPL is not much better. I'd be much more interested in seeing somebody that came up with a unique installation tactic and is winning with less power/cheap subs/etc. I'm sure there are examples that I haven't discovered.
