Thoughts on MECA coming to Trinidad....

[Coolieboy]

Guys and girls, what are your thoughts, opinions, expectations of MECA Trinidad and Tobago...Constructive Criticism will yield improvement.

[kurpal_v2]

Plan your events with other promoters events in mind to avoid clashing, most promoters will have calendars up with their events for the comming year.



Goodluck with your venture doh, I look forward to covering a MECA event soon.

[Coolieboy]

Agreed, however due to timing restrictions, I was unable to arrange the show on a different day. Contact me at 746-1234 to discuss event coverage. Thanks. Any other thoughts...

I have one or two pics (literally) of vehicles that took part in the "Part 'n' Pound", but that's about it. Hopefully someone took some pics of the all the vehicles. PBS9115 was my favourite to win that part of the competition - the damn car was so loud it was giving the DJ a run for his money, and it sounded pretty clean as well (for many of the others, you could tell they they were reaching the limits of either their amps or their speakers). It was difficult to see, but I think they were using Atomic subs for the bass line. Like it or not, while SQ is more my thing, it's cars like that that draw the crowds .

who its sanctioned by?
did you got the three year training to actually be qualified as a MECA judge?

Cause i'm still in training to actually consider be a MECA judge....and trust me me, its not easy.
Cause you gotta know every rule, how the TL is placed in the car especially for park and pound, driveby SPL and open door SPL as well

The news from MECA Trinidad/Tobago is good, with SPL and SQL contests and other fun activities a success and received warmly by the Trinis.

The Commish is back from the 5 day journey to the island nation. MECA TT Event Director Aarian Hosein from SQ Audio, and Ravi and Chris from Audiotec, spent 2 days training for the judging and are certified and ready to handle events for 2012. At this time, 8-10 events are being planned, and with the response from the December 4th event being so positive, it is likely that a few more may be on the schedule by the time the MECA TT Championship event is held at the end of the season.

Here are the results. Park & Pound scores shown are peak dB readings on the AudioControl meter. MECA TT will be using the TermLab meter starting with the next contest.

BODOWWW

1st place stock
(was advised that the car will have to move out of this class but its the class that Steve put me in based on the build on the vehicle)

SQ best of show

1st place in veteran class in the ice club event sharing highest tonal accuracy

did quite well for a car thats not setup for sq competition

took a listen to the meca disc for the first time last night in the car as well as some tracks used by the ice club

[nigel1977]

^^^ welcome back to active competition...

[SR]

dunno if i can commit to an entire season weekends are not as they use to be and between iasca schedule locally and internationally as well as personal commitments it may not allow

but will come out whenever i can


one thing on the meca cd maybe its me but i think its recorded too low compared to the iasca test disc but i need to listen to it in more detail as some of the tracks used i am missing some stuff in the background that i do hear on other cd's with the same recording

sigh if you are living in trinidad at present and "still in training" then surely you would have been notified by MECA that they were going to be here and would have been invited to attend the training sessions held


as for the 3 years.......not even under iasca it takes that long

[Coolieboy]

Thank you guys for supporting the event. The scores and details are posted on www.mecacaraudio.com. The competition was tight especially in SQ. We look forward to your continuous support as MECA TT would also support other Car Audio Groups.

It's nice to have a new challenge.
I'd like to see more info beforehand about the competition, explanation of rules etc.
Some more knowledge handover could work.

[Coolieboy]

All MECA competitions are designed to be as practical and as fun as possible. We like to remember that as much as we are consistent and analytical about the competitions, it's still CAR AUDIO and not a space shuttle trip to the moon. We encourage all competitors to be as relaxed and have as much fun as possible. We will be moving to the Term Lab meter as the Primary meter from our next event but we will be maintaining the Audio Control 3056 for the RTA competition and Secondary meter. Please contact Aarian @ 746-1234 for MECA Membership Info and any other questions.
