2025 IASCA Vietnam

IASCA Vietnam has become an official member of IASCA World since 2019 with the first IASCA International Judge Training held in October 2024.

After a period of studying and learning from previous countries, IASCA Vietnam officially organized the Audio Competition on October 26, 2025 in Long Bien Dist., Hanoi with the main purpose of promoting the Automotive Audio industry, while improving the capacity of retailers to reach more customers. IASCA is famous for its nice test track but hard scoring judging, bringing a new breeze to the automotive audio field and is a challenge that any car audio lover wants to conquer.

The tournament brings together nearly 50 competitors with sound configurations from basic to Hi-end, competing in more than 105 different Judging with 14 Categories. The participants vary from car audio enthusiasts to Local Installation Shop as well as Global Brand Distributors. The tournament has the presence of leading international audio brands such as Focal (France), Rebec (China), MTS (Italy), DynAudio (Denmark), Alpine (Japan) …

The international Judge consists of 4 experienced referees from countries in the region and the presence of the president of IASCA China-Taiwan & Japan, the strongest countries in the region to support. The competition categories are also very diverse, from the Novice category for beginners to the highest category, Expert, with 2 seat judging practice, appearing for the first time in Vietnam.

For the first time in Vietnam, there is a 2 seat Judging for both the driver and passenger, which is very challenging compared to the usual installation and arrangement of equipment for only 1 judging position. However, the 2-seat judging format is very familiar and suitable for the music listening requirement of Vietnamese customers.

New categories suitable for the market such as OEM for original car speakers as well as music sources using Android screens & using DSP integrated amplifiers on cars are, also implemented for the first time in IASCA Vietnam which quite close to the market trend in Asia.

Surf City Soundoff Raises Over $20,000 for Angels Anonymous in Lincoln City

Lincoln City, OR – The Surf City Soundoff roared to life on August 23 and 24, drawing car audio enthusiasts and the local community together for a weekend of competition, camaraderie, and charity. The event, held in Lincoln City at the Chinook Winds Casino Resort, attracted over 100 IASCA competition vehicles from across the region, showcasing some of the most powerful and finely tuned car audio systems in the Northwest.

The highlight of the weekend wasn’t just the thunderous bass and crisp sound quality—it was the generosity of the community. Through entry fees, sponsorships, and donations, the Surf City Soundoff successfully raised $20,968 in support of Angels Anonymous, a local nonprofit dedicated to assisting individuals and families in crisis within Lincoln County.  Over 60 sponsors supported the event, with many setting up as event vendors that brought demo vehicles.

“Surf City Soundoff has always been about more than just cars and sound systems—it’s about people,” said Travis Chin, IASCA Worldwide president. “We are incredibly proud of the support shown by our competitors, sponsors, and the community. Together, we made a real difference for Angels Anonymous.”

The competition featured IASCA Sound Quality and SPL and also dB DRA SPL, giving both seasoned competitors and newcomers the chance to showcase their builds. With more than 100 vehicles entered, the event became one of the largest car audio gatherings, drawing thousands of spectators eager to experience the energy, innovation, and passion of the sport.  Saturday also featured the Surf City Car Show, with hundreds of classic cars in the main lot.

Local businesses and volunteers also played a critical role in making the weekend a success, from event setup and judging to supporting hospitality for attendees.

As the sound of the last bass note faded into the ocean breeze, the 2025 Surf City Soundoff cemented its place as both a premier competition and a force for good in the community.  The 2026 Surf City Soundoff is set for August 22 and 23.
