Welcome to MECA!

MECA is the Mobile Electronics Competition Association, a club and contest organization.  We have car shows with music, fair and fun contests for people who love cars and trucks and the mobile electronics, and bling, that are used to customize our rides.  Competive car/truck/motorcycle exhibitions with our Show & Shine score sheet are offered at most events.  Our Sound Quality League and Sound Pressure League contests are designed for all levels of competitors, beginner to advanced professional.  Ride the Light specialty lighting contests are great night-time events.  MECA Kids is our bass music contest using powerwheels toys with our MECA Kids operating the audio systems

Join us for our 15th season of car show and sound-off events.  Our 2013 Event/Show Schedule is building now, and most events aren't listed until April or later.  Some events pop up 3-4 weeks before, but we try to get the dates organized and confirmed as soon as we can.

MECA is part of, and serves, the Mobile Electronics, or 12 Volt, Industry.  MECA is an Allied Association of the Consumer Electronics Association www.ce.org and works to promote our Manufacturer and Retail Members with cost-effective, grassroots, partnership/sponsorship programs.

Winning at MECA contests is based on performance in the lanes, not products, politics, or personalities.  Everyone is invited to participate in our club and contest activities.  MECA State Champion credentials earn bragging rights, and our World Champions are recognized among the most accomplished competitors in organized car audio sports.

Thanks to our Competitors, Judges, Fans, Retail Members, and Manufacturer Members for all the support and participation that brings us together.

Where did the Forums go?

Tuesday, June 05, 2012

If you're a regular visitor to mecacaraudio.com, you'll probably notice that there's a new menu option at the top of the page, and one missing.  The new one is called Community, and it's there to encompass all of the various social interactions we have.  The software that this site runs on was recently upgraded big time, and features social options, including the MECA Wall (just like the wall on Facebook), Social Groups (which will be setup for SPL, SQL and Show & Shine) and a new user profile (that will be expanded in the future to include your scores, etc.)

So, if you want to get to the forums, hover over the Community link in the Menu and then click on Forums.  They're all right there. :)

The new MECA Events!

A new MECA Events experience is coming soon, with apps for Windows 8, iOS, Android and Windows Phone.  Want a sneak peek of what's to come?  Go to http://www.mecaevents.com.  Note that it's very early in the process, but lots of really great changes will be coming including Social Network integration.

Are you a software/app developer?  You can apply to use the public MECA Event API that will allow you to pull events, results and member information and build your own app.  If your interested in beta testing the API, send an email to webmaster@mecacaraudio.com with API in the subject.

Feel free to provide feedback in the forums, on the MECA Wall, or on the MECA Facebook Page, or feel free to tweet @mecacaraudio.

For complete event details, please see the flier which can be found by going to the Event/Show Schedule, and then click on the name of the event.

Please keep in mind that most events are not confirmed until late February or March, or even April and May, or later, and sometimes only 4-6 weeks before the event. 

For those concerned about events in their area, and Gas Prices:
We need all the pieces of the puzzle to fit, to make events happen in your area.  We need Judges to work at the events, and we need Hosts and Sponsors to help with event sites, local promotion, and paying for awards.  Without hosts and sponsors, there can be no events. If you would like to have MECA events closer to home, please contact the Commissioner with contact information on people who may be interested in helping to organize, promote, and fund the events.  Or, have them get in touch at:  615-851-7428 or mecacaraudio@comcast.net
When you see MECA events in new areas, it is becauae there are Members helping to recruit and organize people to do the work it takes to put on good events.  Not having events in your area is the problem.  You can be part of the solution (to quote Michael Earl).  Help us help you have events.  That's the way it works.  Thanks.

 

 

Check out this session with Dave Pensado, sound engineer, who gives AudioControl and MECA a shout-out at 18:30 into the show.

Not exactly correct on the details, but he's got the idea. :)
