SPL is a pissing match, maybe that's why.

thanks for giving me some good reading till this point.
Hi MTA

Thank you for taking the time to qualify your vote. It has improved the quality of this 'Poll'...

Also, thank you sharing your perspectives with regards to my posts and furthermore, for your clear support of my efforts to date.

It’s always nice to read a friendly post.

In any case, the knowledge you're putting up is useful, and the guys heavily into SQ I'm sure appreciate it, and my question about SPL may not belong in the thread, but so long as you're helping, no matter who it is, I don't think you're wasting your time.

However, for the every day guys who have no idea what you're talking about but just want to make the best sounding system they can, it may feel like time is being wasted. I'm sure if a textbook on SQ was to be written for members of CCA, a lot of your posts would be included. Though I've vowed not to get involved any more in this thread, I still frequent it in the odd chance that I pick up something I might implement in my setup.
Hi Fresh

Thank you for providing some history and for up dating us on your current perspectives etc.

It appears that we may have developed some common ground between us - and simply agree to disagree as gentlemen, when impasses occur...

To me, this seems like a fair arrangement...

its funny how some of the guys who voted 'yes' are always the ones who give the single half assed anwser in peoples threads but never come back to defend their post or back it up... typical.

i think the fact you take time outta your day to answer peoples questions is unreal, despite the you have had to put up with when people disagree and such... you've help more people in this thread than 85% of CCA has over the history of this site

i'd like to tip my hat off to you in thanks.

Hi Jalat

I have noted the same thing - thanks for pointing it out! Perhaps others have/will note the same...

Thank you for your very encouraging words!

I stopped reading this thread awhile ago. Did you cover standing waves and wave guides and all that?

Tell us about some sweet HT's ?

That is fine with me. Like I said I am not going to come here to stir the pot anymore. I believe what you're doing is worth the effort to some people, so if that is enough validation for you then by all means continue with what you're doing. That's why I voted no. And I like to go back and help in threads I post in unless someone else takes over and says what I had planned to before I get the chance, then I feel like I'm repeating rather than helping.

shops do not want us

magazines only mooch off of us

radio doesnt want to talk about us

manufacturers have long given up

basically there arent any funds coming from anywhere

can any benefits be derived from this sport for any third parties? not including competitors themselves ofcourse.

what to do? what to do?

do you think mobile dynamics croaked for the same reason as the car audio competition scene? (no insult here)

btw, your poll is gay, i think. online forum communities are a waste of time in themselves, they've become a huge battle field for internet pissing matches, this thread is a prime example.
Sorry - I am not interested in offering any in-depth thoughts on the current state of the competition scene... or on the closure of Mobile Dynamics, other than to say - sad times for sure!
