RE: I just spoke to a car audio buff here at the office...

The fellow at the office worked closely with one of the local installers here in town (Winnipeg, Canada), but that was around '96. They basically used their ears and whatever measuring tools were available at the time. In Greenville Carolina at the IASCA, he placed 9th in SQ and the installer placed 1st in SQ and 2nd in SQ+1.

The installer had beat out a 2 year reigning champ who had a BMW with tube amps and remote laser aimed tweeters.

Definitely much more to work with these days as you mentioned. I imagine the criteria at the competitions are even more particular as a result. But it's nice that the knowledge carries over to production vehicles, and vice versa.

I could see spending a lot of money on a automobile system. Pick your poison I guess.

As an aside, the other day I heard a motorcycle a few lanes over with an impressive sound system.

Nice to see people interested in quality and not just SPL.

Cheers!
