DB DRAG, BASS RACE & PSYCHLONE AUDIO COMPETITIONS DB DRAG, BASS RACE & PSYCHLONE AUDIO COMPETITIONS
3X Point SPL Competitions, Presented by Psychoacoustics

You want it loud? Carlisle Performance & Style is where to be May 8-9 to experience dB Drag Racing, Bass Race and Psychlone – three of the premier formats for SPL (Sound Pressure League) competitions.

Performance & Style will have all three thumping throughout the weekend. dB Drags pose two vehicles head-to-head, to see who has the loudest stereo. Bass Race is a stereo competition where competitors play commercially available music for 30 seconds and are given an average SPL score that places the competitor in one of six classes. New this year, the Psychlone audio competition is a format designed to capture the original excitement of a great sounding aftermarket car stereo installation. Each contestant's sound system is scored based on how loud it will play (SPL), the frequency response of the system (RTA), and installation quality.

For more information on all three formats and to pre-register to participate, contact Psychoacoustics
