As a bit of fun to see how well car audio systems perform at playing low bass.
At the time Marcos was a dB drag competitor and a M.E.C.A. SPL competitor / SPL judge.
The pd test was added onto the end of the main M.E.C.A. SPL competition as a sort of bonus SPL test.
The testing process tested the systems peak frequency then 4 set frequencies of
40Hz - 33Hz - 25Hz & 20Hz
All readings taken from the head rest using a Term Lab Pressure Sensor.

Andrew of Adassa Audio who was the U.K. Head of M.E.C.A ,ran into difficulties.
So the M.E.C.A. SPL format in the U.K. was closed down
Without his help in allowing the pd testing to be carried out after his events this format may have never started.
So a Thanks here.
To Adassa Andrew for that.
So. After this had finished...
pd testing was done at some Car Shows and few cruises and meets.
Resulting in a Finals Event @ Motorguard...
Marcos Barnes has the first system in the U.K. to hit over 150.0dB @ 20Hz

The motorguard event was a very good success.
Thanks to Paul Coughlin (Mazdawg) for his help.
www.pure-carma.co.uk a legal cruise set up at the old Mean Street Cruise site in Arena Essex Raceway started this year and they wanted an SPL event...
So (((pd))) jumped on board
and have held events there every 1st sat of each month from May till October.
Again this wouldn`t have happened if it wasn`t for the badgering of
Henry (Proffessa) to get something going back at the old mean street cruise site.
ICEMAN Ian Pinders Orion HCCA system is the first to get an average of 155dB+

The fixed venue works well and lots of new people have been attracted to the event.
Again many thanks to the team @
