for sure... almost everything in existance is a trade off of sorts, depends what aspects have higher priority over the aspects that have lower priority...
way back when, in iasca, the judging was drivers side from what I remember, I haven't been around any competition in like over 15 years, didn't even realize or consider that the judging may be both sides of the vehicle really, but even then, I would expect the judging to still be mainly from the drivers seat, with maybe points lost for bad imaging on the pass side?hmm ??
I don't know much about current competition at all really..., but personally, I like my system to sound almost as good from the passengers side as the drivers... I hate to have to make anyone I audition my system too, to have to be in the drivers seat, although if I want to make the biggest impression, or if I'm showing off to someone that has a clue, then I shove them in the drivers seat
