IAS was also the first stop of the Trifecta tour, put up by Car Audio and Electronics magazine and sponsors Arc Audio, Alpine, Morel, Kicker, Kenwood, Acoustic Edge, Focal, Audison, Pontus, Crossfire Audio, A3, Icon-TV, Extreme Autofest, Lowrider, SEMA and IAS. Trifecta is an audio competition with a twist: not only does the car have to sound good, it has to look good, too. Guest judges from across the car audio world came in and gave First place to Justin Efkowtiz and his 300M packed with Focal and Audison gear. Not only did Justin take home $500 along with the trophy, but he's also being sent to the SEMA show in Vegas for the final competition and possibly an even bigger cash reward. Second place winner Dave Hary also gets a free ride to Vegas and $250 for his Audi S4, which claimed Best Sound Quality, while Third place and $125 went to Ryan Shutt's Polk Audio-equipped Civic. You can catch more info on the Trifecta show in the August issue of Car Audio and Electronics or from www.caraudiomag.com.

Surprisingly, for a show situated all the way out in the middle of nowhere, people poured through the doors even while it poured outside. Nevermind the moaning and groaning "this show will be done next year" blah, blah. Since Fort Washington plans to kill the convention hall by next year, we're just wondering, where's SEMA going to take the party next?
