Design & Layout:
When judging. Does the system have proper power distribution and fusing? Does the system exhibit good ease of use, are all the components easily accessible, etc?
Install Quality:
Is the system going to fall apart? Are there wires loose or hanging about? Does the system have dangling wires or exposed copper? Is there attention to detail? Does the system interfere with the normal use of the vehicle? These are some of the things you should look for when scoring on installation quality.

Questions
Will I be judged on the Quality or make of Equipment?
No, the make of the equipment used is entirely up to your brand preference and budget.
Will I get more points for having more Subs Amps, Multimedia etc?
No You will be judged on what you are trying to achive if you are trying to build a Bass monster then you would not loose points for not having screens all over the boot, if you be clever with the multimedia then you would not be judged for not having a dozen 12†Subs
Can I have any professional help?
Yes if you are not confident about wiring your build you will not lose points for having wiring checked or fitted by an auto electrician ,you will also not loose points for having your install painted by a body shop but will get bonus points if you have been able to paint it yourself.

How would you verify that work has been completed by an individual as opposed to a paid build, will there be requirements to validate this?
I fear entrants may fabricate false claims to their work, I for one would wish to enter my vehicle but suspect that there maybe some abuse to the authenticity of peoples claims.
Hi… Please see the line below. “Receipts, build photos and information on how your build was created will be required to authenticate your work.” We would hope that people would not enter and make false claims. We know a lot of people in the industry and the competition will be judged by an industry specialist, any false claims would soon be found out. The world is smaller than you think. We look forward to receiving your entry in due course.
mark yea sounds good might enter the lupus merc
fantastic, many thanks for that
can i do a build in a car that i dont own
Hi..The short answer is YES. As long as you are not a business or do builds for your day job. If you get paid for doing it then NO. You would need to produce the photos, receipts and keep us updated as per the competition requires. When you enter please make clear whose car it is and if its a friend/family member. Any more questions please email admin@modifiednationals.co.uk
