Car Audio Scene And Where To Purchase Good Gear?

[JaideeJing76]

Gday!

Im heading back to LOS to live in late August. I have had a big background in Car audio over the years, run some huge soundoff events, judged CAN events, and had a few real nice old skool systems.

Im looking for any info on Car Audio competitions/events in Thailand (i will be based in the north, but travel south regularly as needed for events).

Im also looking for good places to BUY gear in Thailand..

I'm specifically looking for midbass (8" x 6) drivers and Subs (15" x 4 high power/heat handling). And despite that i can do some things myself, I will need a TOP company to do the install, no matter where in Thailand. CAN ANYONE ADVISE GOOD INSTALL COMPANY, GOOD PLACE TO BUY QUALITY GEAR?

I am currently buying some 2/H amps/front end speakers to drag in with my 40kg luggage allowance.. (good luck.. 40kg.. ).

I already have a Rockford Fosgate 8230 Head Unit; Rockford Fosgate X3 Crossover; Rockford Fosgate Power 500a2 amp; Rockford Fosgate Power 800a2 amp, and iminently shall be receiving another Rockford Fosgate Power 800a2 amp; Boston Acoustics 6.5lf pro 3 way splits; and Boston Acoustics 6.4 lf pro splits.

System philosophy is SQL - "sound quality loud" Hopefully SPL (real old skool rating) around 153-155db. Vehicle of choice for install DMAX 4 door, or Hilux 4 door.

Im looking for a good working order Rockford Fosgate Power 1100a2 amp also.. real power house, to run the subs.

Any info / advice / new contacts in the Car Audio world will be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Jaidee

Sound QuaLity.

Sound Pressure Level.

SPL is very much still a current term so not sure where the "real old skool rating" is coming from.

Any Who Driver Sound should be able to assist.

Where ever you do get it it's likely they won't install the electrical properly so that it turns on and off when you shut off the key and then still holds your program when you power it up, or it has power and drains your battery. This simple concept seems to be completely unknown to the installers there making me wonder how they can properly install anything related. I've fixed this on so many............Correction, EVERY car I've owned there which is in the double digits..

Thailand had both IASCA and EMMA competitions. Plenty of installers and competitors in the scene. This website is probably the best place to start: http://www.caathailand.org/

I haven't seen very much genuine Rockford Fosgate gear here though - the competition scene is mainly European brands in SQL from the little I've seen, and a mix of all sorts in SPL.

I've seen cars from KhuangSingha in Chiangmai in IASCA events, so they might be a good place to start up north: http://www.khuangsingha.com/ http://profile.yellowpages.co.th/en/313133542096001

Obviously based on the odds, more bad than good sadly..
