I was really hoping it wouldn't be like that for D.

That's why I mentioned that I'd buy him a trophy...because some of the sycophants that linger around the "sport" are worse than a flaming case of herpes. They know nothing else aside from competition, their pitiful little world revolves around it...and they desperately try to seem important by showing trophies.

Very few anymore actually participate in it for the love of music. Overwhelmingly it is for what little money there is and the perceived power over those who don't know any better...you hear a "big time" audio name and then never question what they have to say or more appropriately, how they act in the public arena. The nice thing for me is that I noticed it early on while participating at the highest levels available. I took these "people" to task and was summarily ostracized for not towing the proverbial line and having people take ownership for their wrongs.

Something tells me that I'd rather be a person with a clear conscience and morality that is right and true. Think about it, would you rather have someone standing next to you when the chips are down that will sell their soul for a trohpy? Oh hell no.

@ AM - You'd love what I have in the Yaris now! It is almost the polar opposite of what I was running during competition. Does it sound as good? *meh* No, it doesn't image "perfectly" and it has lower power handling...BUT...it took an afternoon to completely install and adjust. It's an "I don't give a F**k what anyone thinks" system. Besides, if I have someone who pisses me off, I have that K3LA to throw a double middle fingered salute with.

SWEET! That's what I am talkin` about!
I'll bet it DOES sound great. Certainly not at the level you are used to, but more than good enough for anyone who enjoys listening to "music" and not going to competitions.

Which is why I am surprised you would even consider throwing him to the wolves, after what you have been through.
We all know D does deserve a trophy. But like you said, it ain't about harvesting trophies anyway.

It's about.... Keepin` it REAL, dawg!
