Did you guys get to hear Josh Becks 8 Mile bike or HnH Kryptic King. Those bikes are the new standard of Bagger Audio. Two of the best bikes in the country.

 

The audio on both of those bikes is VERY impressive.
They have the full spectrum of sound and lower frequencies that hit so hard they I think they will untie your shoes if you get to close.
Grant it the saddle bags on 8 mile are almost twice the width of the average saddle bag and made out of a different material than most.

As for the Kriptic King the sound quality on that sled is crazy for running 3 compression drivers in the saddle bag lids an a couple of 10s in the bags.

All in all there was an excellent turn out for the event.

It was good to meet up with a few of the other guys from the forum again and finally meet blade guy.

 

As mentioned in other posts, this all for show audio has really gotten down to not only solid audio that is sort of attainable if u want to run a couple batteries and give up ALL bag space but the custom fabrication plays a massive role in this.

The great news is that the competition industry is starting to move towards sound quality versus that nasty sounding decibel meter shix!!! Granted quite a few of them parking lot boys still like the decibel meter thing because it's really the only way to measure audio comps as we all have different ears. The SQ comps get way political and if it's also based on crowd feedback, whoever has the most friends there usually wins.

I wish you would of posted this BEFORE the event I would have made sure I heard them! I probably heard them but not sure who was who because of the number of bikes that were competing! The Audio competition was a real cluster f**k! I was there from 11 to 5 when, I left at 5 it was not completed...Baby Boy did not even know for sure if his shops bike was eliminated...a real disorganized CF!!!!

 

country music wins brother!! lol

 

George Jones for the win!

 

I agree T, the audio quality improved from last years BB contest, but the organization of the Audio competition did not! They had plenty of room to line bikes up in an orderly fashion and set up a staging area for the actual side by side comparison, which I think they were trying to do! It was a real cluster f**k bikes all jammed together parked helter skelter, guy running it had no PA or bullhorn yelling out names, with no response (contestants couldn't hear) jumping here and there, some bikes getting two chances some one, bikes NOT divided into 3 classes, bouncing around the small jammed disorganized area like a moth flying around a light bulb! Crowd choice means shop with the most friends and employees were the winners...I THINK..no declaration of who's in who's out, when I left a 5, some bikes hadn't had a chance some had gone twice...very frustrating.. Baby B wasn't sure if his shop's bike was in or out...a real cluster F**k! Compared to car audio contest I use to go to it was laughable! As I said left at 5...I am curious to find out how long it took to find a winner if ever..bad bad bad!!!

 

Would have love to have went, but too much going on and also no bike right now. To add to the event being disorganized, I believe WAY more are entering than ever before and whomever is organizing and setting things up just didn't prepare and that is too bad. Seems to be happening in multiple ways in the last few competitions. Be it meter issues, changing rules mid way into a planned multiple event show, and even now the actual even being disorganized, just shows it is time to plan for a lit more than prior years, and be sure to allow fair and respectful rules and also organization to keep this going strong.

 

Yeah Slye would have been great to see you there.you would have been impressed with the number of knock down gorgeous sleds there, well over a 100! While I realize bike audio is in its infancy, they have a good blueprint in the car audio industry! They need an national organization like USAC or IASCA to organize meets or at the very least, have a decibel meter and a panel of independent judges..and is it too much to ask to line the bikes up in an organized fashion, and have a damn bullhorn to announce what their doing..I'm telling you, our meet and great audio competition was better organized!

 

Really would have a been a awesome event to have attended. The JP Rally was this weekend too. If bike was out of shop I honestly would have hit JP. But none the less I expect come next year that big changes will be made. If they made contests pre register, pay then, get a tally, not let any competitor enter beyond that pre resister time frame they can be much more organized. Either way hope you all had a great time.
