Well I was unaware of this being a "Class" of competition, but when did they start it becuase I am betting this term was god awful slang before it became a class.

Lol, I would have been in trouble if someone did that to me.
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

That was actually a joke, but I have used it when someone gets annoying. It does work.

Of course it was, and I laughed. I am still confused though, because I saw Jeff use it on here, and he is Velocity Motors!.
Proof?

Project details: Customer wants full competition system with all the bells and whistles in his Commander. Show quality and with SPL in mind but also has to be SQ minded. This is what we have so far.....
So, if Jeff used it, I figure it can't be that bad to use still.
Maybe I should PM him and have him explain it to me.
P.S. Don't tell him I snitched, lol.

ok im a newb to audio competition but i know that spl is just how loud your system is *sound pressure level
and sq...well i thought that was sound quality and that some people called it just sq and others called it sql as in sound quality level
im most likely way off but if someone could tell me what this stuff is id be very appreciative

Well, seeing as the post that Jeff wrote about was my customer and I flew him out here for him to meet me in person and work on the project for a week, I know a thing or two about the post. It was written in my living room at oh say, 2:00 am give or take a hour. So he was a little tired perhaps. The customers goals are simple, he wants good tonal response but if tasked, he wants to lay waste to the neighbourhood. His goal is to lay a patch 80 feet long, burning the tires off while trying to blow the seals on the rear side windows. He has the power to do so, 4400w rms of Zapco Competion amp power and the subs to do so, mounted in a 11 cubic foot dual slot port box (80sq." of port face) I hate this term, SQL - Page 2 -- posted image. This thing is going to wail. I hate this term, SQL - Page 2 -- posted image. Personally I hate the term SQL as well. At some point the human threshold of hearing can no longer distinguish good sound from just plain loud or just plain noise. I can see it now. Dude, did you hear how good that F18 sounded, dude 2 says, nope, it was just way too loud, what did you say?

Good point. About the 4400W RMS, that is well... insane, I am scared of what 2500W RMS will sound like in my friend's car when I am done with it. Did you guys do anything special like "pressure reinforcement?"
