***Off-Topic***
I have a noob question.
I'd like to know what type of audio competitions are in my area and how I can set my car up, if it isn't already to fit within competition guidelines. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance.

The only organizations that I know of are:
www.IASCA.com
www.mecacaraudio.com
www.soundoff.org/usaci.htm
I don't know if there are any that are close to NY.
Are you looking for Sound Quality or SPL?

Running "active" just means that you are controlling your crossover points on the speakers with a processor. Running "passive" means that the speakers are controlled by a crossover unit that usually comes with a component set.
I like running active with the Alpine H701 cause I have the ability to set my crossover points (digitally) whereever I want and it gives me 7 channels of time alignment.
I am not familiar with the Audio Control dqx, but I believe it controls your crossover points which means you are running active.
***If I am mistaken, please feel free to correct me as I am pretty new to the sport.

We ended up with this...
Staging is honestly as good as I could ever ask for.
BTW... Audionutz CDs are the shiznit.

If it's any consolation, myself and my teamates from FL have to drive to SC for Elite Summer Nationals (www.elitesummernationals.com) and to Atlanta for IASCA Finals.
The only organization that is centered in a specific area is MECA, which is in KY and TN.
