What is that site anyway - some sort of "viewer vote" competition site, based on install pictures?

Yea, basically. Not to mention it is full of children and people who LOVE CHROME!

umm yea...this is my last season...

It is spl biased, the average car there has never seen a competition nor could it compete if it wanted to. The best install is Joe Black's Lumina and the worst is basically an off brand amp, 8G wire and some of "dad's" old speaker boxes from the HiFi set.

They don't appreciate good installs and damned if you build a stealth system, they want to see all the speakers.

well.. Lemme see a link to the site, please... I want to see what kind of stuff is there, since it's SPL biased and that's what I compete in.

"SPL biased", and sounds like it's unabashedly newbie-friendly...

...which makes me wonder - how do newbies judge "SPL installs" - that they can't hear or meter?

The goal is to judge the install quality. Based off componets used, install techniques and the overall appearance. Then you go off into other areas like multimedia, neons, etc...

I only care about the SYSTEM. Screw the other stuff. I give all 10's on the other stuff...

BTW anyone can be a judge. I think you get 600 or 800 points voting power. You have to take a written test to become a 4x Judge which I am. Not saying this test is hard, at all. But surely some of the idiots on there couldnt pass it...lol

Passed the test at 88%. The ones I missed were my fault for not paying attention. Oh well.. Still passed it. It's really a no-brainer
