In the past, this form of car audio has been a popularity contest. That's why judges have been implemented...the same way a carshow uses judges sq car comps do. And most forms of competiton always have some level of trash talking..here it's just done to your face. lol And this isn't only about being loud. It's about mids, highs and clarity..and how they are projected out of the car. Also, the song selection is extremely important and knowing the limits of your sysytem so there's little to no audible distortion. The TL can't measure this. So, just like all things in life, everything aint for everybody. This just happens to be what a few people have taken to lately and we are just trying to have some fun and work out the kinks. If you've noticed, several of the huge ground pound builds in here have began to add some serious mids and highs to go along with their TERM LAB loud bass.
whoops, I forgot about this one...thanks man..and thanks for the suggestions.
