2008 MECA Rookie of the Year / World Champion – Robert Petty of Team SoundDomain

By: Ben Vollmer - Team SoundDomain / Car Audio Nationals

Robert Petty is one of the more technical team members of Team SoundDomain in 2008. Scratch that. Robert is THE technical team member of Team SoundDomain in 2008. His background in electrical engineering has helped out many of us on the team and paid off for him. You can see his install complete with his kids helping with his install on the SoundDomain forums.

He won despite his Alpine Head unit failing in the lanes and having to wait to cool down. With a full compliment of Zapco amps, a Morel front stage, and Image Dynamics subwoofers, his Do-It-Yourself install performed awesomely.

I know I personally am excited to see what he has in store for the 2009 Competition Season. In 2008 he won the following awards:

• 2008 Rookie of the Year
• 2008 Alabama State Champion
• 2008 MECA Amateur World Champion

He placed in the Top Ten at every top 30 round he attended.

He was the highest scoring member of MECA in the Amateur Class with a high score of 57.70 which is an awesome score. Robert also went undefeated In MECA, which included the following shows:

• 4th Annual AL Sound-off Trail Kick-off Party
• Audio X Nationals
• 2nd Annual HiFi Buys Summer Nationals
• 4th Annual Thunder On The Mountain
• Elite Summer Nationals
• Alabama Sound-off Trail
• Georgia Soundfest - State Finals
• Alabama Soundfest - State Finals

Congrats Robert!
