What happened to the DIYMA sub Vin??

Do you prefer the sound of the XMax?

Looking great BTW

For the small enclosure, the xmax sounds way better

Good news fellas, I got first in the rookie class.

Not bad for a system that was pieced together within a few weeks and for such a non-show, simple install ...especially for "prehistoric" amps and sub as some say.

With the score sheet, now I have something to base my tuning and can concentrate on the problem areas.








My problem areas:

sound - time alignment was not saved when the judge sat in the car. I readjust the TA and the judge took another listen after the comp ended and he said that I lost around 10 points, which would have put me in the pro area in terms of scoring.

Intall - Judged said that I concentrated too much on the build log and didn't show him enough (time limit). After the comp ended we spoke about my low scores and he said that the points that I lost was due to the poorly timed presentation. Technique and build quality was fine and I would have probably gotten most of the points if I presented in a timely manner.

Oh well, I'll get them next time

Man, those Scan tweets and Morel mids are dynamite together! Nothing but praise from fellow competitors and judges. I almost scored a perfect score in the mid/MB/high section

good job vin! kinda gives me the comp bug again, SQ this time, and not SPL

[vin78]

thanks guys.

Brian - Yes, thats the pics that were in the photo log, in fact a lot of the pics that I posted are in the photo log as well.

I know, it looks a little messy but as long as they are secured its fine with the judges.
