Autotune Challenge

The Car Audio Craftsmanship Challenge is an online event dedicated to celebrating the art and science of car audio systems. This competition goes beyond mere sound quality, focusing on the integration of sound with the craft of installation. It's a showcase for enthusiasts and professionals alike who excel in the aesthetic, functional, and acoustic aspects of car audio setup.

Categories:

1. Sound System Quality (SQC):

• Judging the tonal accuracy, sound stage, imaging, lack of distortion, and loudness of the audio system.

1. Installation Quality (IQC):

• Evaluates the fabrication techniques used (3D printing, CNC machining, laser cutting, hand-cut methods), wiring aesthetics and efficiency, and the overall design documentation of the system.

1. Sound Pressure Level (SPL):

• Measures the system's ability to produce high decibel levels safely and effectively.

Submission Requirements:

• Photos: High-quality images showcasing the installation from various angles, highlighting craftsmanship.

• Video: A brief video demonstrating the system's sound quality, unique features, and the participant's creativity.

• Documentation: Detailed diagrams and descriptions of the system setup, including all components and fabrication methods.

• SPL Measurement: Proof of sound pressure levels, either through video or via an app.

How to Participate:

• Submission: Participants must submit all required materials through an online form or platform specified by the event organizers.

• Judging: A panel of audio and fabrication experts will review entries, possibly with community involvement in certain aspects like creativity or audience choice awards.

• Live Streams: Engage with participants and viewers through live streams where systems might be demonstrated or discussed.

Awards:

• Categories for best sound quality, installation craftsmanship, and highest SPL.

• Special accolades for creativity, innovation in fabrication, or audience favorites.

Event Features:

• Workshops and Mini-Challenges: Pre-event activities to educate and engage participants.

• Themed Rounds: To add variety and encourage different approaches to car audio design.

• Interactive Elements: Live Q&A, VR tours, or social media challenges to keep the community involved.

Goal: To foster a community where car audio enthusiasts can push the boundaries of what's possible in terms of sound quality and installation artistry, promoting both technical skill and creative expression in the realm of automotive audio systems.
