Impressive.

Discuss?

of those 15000 how come its always the same 20 people at the audio shows then?

lol... you do realize that a small portion of them is probably from the GTA... also a very small portion of them is in anyway interested in competition more than likely... I think that would answer your question

Well, I believe there is a few reasons why only 20 people show up at some of these Car Audio events.

Aside from this being a "Canadian" site and many of the users being scattered from across Canada, as DUMPED said a very small portion of people are actually interested in competing. I have a ton of audio in my car, but car audio competitions is not the motivating factor of why I added it to my ride.

Add the 'clique' feel that this forum creates between people makes it uneasy for an outsider to partake or feel comfortable.

Events aren't free. Free always does better, but someone needs to pay. Economy is in the dumper and people don't want to spend money on a car audio event, let alone anything else these days. Lets not forget, shops don't do it because they love the sport. The do it for exposure and sales, a show is a marketing tool to drum up business.

There isn't much reach to bring new people into the sport from outside of this forum, atleast from what I see. Its also a very niche hobby which sadly is taking a beating.

Saturated... Just like all these show & shines or for instance, CSCS. Once you've been to a CSCS event in 2005, you really have no reason to go up until this point. The cars are the same, racing is the same, all the same. Now the hardcore group of people will always stay loyal and attend but people who paid to be entertained may not stick with it. Who watches the same movie every weekend at a $20 expense?

The forum is here to talk car audio. Its an outlet to promote shows, drum up business for advertisers and a free resource for people who are interested in Car Audio.

15,000 users is pretty awesome
