well Sully, you might as well as never compete then. Sq has always been put on the shade wrt to SPL and now bass boxing.
Things are changing. For the first time, afaik, a SQ team is now affiliated with a brand and is now part of an international competition team.
Sq has its fair share of challenges. The mere design and appreciation of a true sq system contradicts typical thinking.. (compare component set sales vs dj speakers, compare the amount of bask dash builds vs door pods).
The odds simply are against SQ, so don't blame IASCA Trinidad for what seems like a lack of appreciation.
The fact remains, is that ticket sales are what offsets expenses. If you had an event with sq alone, it will surely bust, with what 4 competitors?? We need to understand that IASCA Trinidad is only 2 working people.
From a business perspective, because there are expenses that have to be recovered from ticket sales, so its a business, how much revenue do you think will be generated from people coming to look at 4,5,6. cars with 2 guys sitting in them for 30 mins???
Back in the day, we were allowed to play some music after the car was judged, just to give the crowd something. I think we need to do something like that, just to they can hear "how clean it sounds" so to speak as a means to build interest.
I have not missed a sq event since Iasca Trinidad (Shameer) has been offering SQ, and I will continue to support him. Why? Because I understand whats going on and the challenges him and Sr have to face.
Team Hybrids will be there, showing our support...
