OnelifeLiveit! Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 I entered my first sound-off competition today with the lupo, in the first national round of the EMMA's (european mobile media assciation). Managed a credible second in class in my section and would have won bar one fuse! :-( Got deducted points for not having a fuse at the alternator end of the install! Oh well, live and learn! Really interesting listening to other systems and seeing the range of different cars - including a mini moke with a 1300 Kawasaki engine in it!! (13 sec 1/4 mile!!)Stu;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im just a little north from you - not far! You'll have to give us a shout if you want to convoy to a show! Stu;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnelifeLiveit! Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 well done stu 2nd place aint to be sniffed at a great start to the emma nationals, hopefully a first next time!Cheers Carl- im definitely gunning for first next time. I know I can pick 15 points up straight away by getting a fuse up by the alternator and also by curing a turn on 'thump' through the sound processor. The other changes might mean a little visit up your way again so I will give you a shout when I know!! Stu;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re: fuse it will be all in hand for next round of the soundoffs ... and a few other adjustments to ensure overall points pick up. There are a lot of people entering my category so got to keep improving! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnelifeLiveit! Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Holy frick. Looking better than could have imagined. Can't wait to see MOAR.Cheers! Appreciate it! Next work will be focussed on scoring higher on soundoffs. I can't do next two rounds as i am away on holiday and then down at Plymouth Volksfest. Next work will be changing the processor! It was suggested that the matching processor to the head unit would be more adjustable/tuneable so I set about trying to find one. After a long search I found one last year on German eBay! This processor will be linked to all the speakers directly actively to hopefully score higher points by being even more detailed/accurate. Whilst this is done we are designing a new back panel to mould around the distribution unit and new shaped processor. Watch this space!!

Watch this space!!although the bit1 is a nice peace of kit as youve found stu its so difficult to set up and like you many others are selling up, the pioneer is tried and tested and so much easier to set up mr turner knows them like the back of his hand, youve done well to find one 2 years ago they were always coming up for sale over on talk audio but now it seem they are like hens teeth to find i was looking for a p90 combo before christmas with no luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bit1 has been good after the initial gremlins but as you say Mark knows these units like the back of his hand! II know what you mean with the search for this and the head unit- it took a long while to find one! I know some of the competitors have backup matching units too just in case one breaks!Will look forward to catching up with you!

OnelifeLiveit! Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Well it's been bloomin' ages since I updated my thread got some nice little updates now. Will give the lupo a really good clean this week and put some pics up but here's the list of stuff done...New improved front end (more carbon added)More inside carbonNew centre dash customisingNew sound processor with all speakers working activeNew engraved and lit Perspex rear seat panel housing Heres a little teaser...

OnelifeLiveit! Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 After my last soundoff competition i realised that the rear seat panel that housed the sound processor and distribution unit didn't look as good as it could. James made up a totally new Perspex panel and had lights fitted for night. He made up two layers of Perspex to highlight a blue surround and then the logos in red. So it went from this To thisIt might look a bit 'bling' but a lot of the European soundoff competitors have these features to add instalation points!
