WTG !!!

what year chevy you got ?? those cut thrus are tough (stepsides 1999-04s).

I'd personally make a test enclosure for 1 10. smaller, less money spent (just in case)... great idea ... anythings possible.

Man, with that cool ass car, you should be cometing in SQ !!! Then again, just me... Best of luck with your number goal. That amp you have there, can you strap another one to it?? Got room for more batteries??

looks like the cabinets would make great flower pots.

congrats on your number STA. Def. not bad 1st time out of the gate ...

...

best of luck to ya...

good luck with your search. tried peoplefinder.com??

yea, thats correct PROPER POWER CLASS: A competitor may not compete in a power class other than the one that his/her total system power dictates. The exception to this would be the unlimited or “OPEN” power class Any and all amplifiers within the vehicle under test will be included in the system’s total power. This sum will not include the power, if any, of the systems source unit (radio, cassette tape or CD player) unless it is actively driving a speaker or a group of speakers. All amplifiers in the vehicle must be operational and actively used in operating the sound system during testing or be physically removed. At local events amplifiers may be left in the vehicle provided the event director has the ability to definitively determine the amplifier is not in use. Competitors whose systems include amplifiers that are not manufacturer rated, are modified internally, or not commercially available will be required to compete in the unlimited power class of their respective division.

bassahaulic ... All amps are counted. this is from the rules ... please read ... USACI OUTLAW SPL GENERAL RULES DIVISIONS: Outlaw SPL divisions are based on the configuration of the system and vehicle. Specific guidelines for each division will be discussed in their respective sections of this book. POWER CLASSES: See Appendix A – Power Class and Division Limitations AMPLIFIERS DEFINED: One amplifier is considered one power supply, one system board, driving 1 or 2 channels. A 3-4- channel amp would be considered two amplifiers. A 5-6-channel amp would be considered three amps and so on. A single heat sink with more than one power supply or system board may be considered more than one amplifier at the discretion of USACI. A car audio system’s total wattage shall be determined by the highest manufacturer rated output divided by the proper number to ascertain the 4 ohm power output, or the manufacturer’s 4 ohm rating, whichever is higher. If any amplifiers rating cannot be determined, that amplifier will be moved to the highest power class in that division until such time as a rating can be determined. USACI reserves the right to independently test any amplifier to determine the true RMS power rating and reclassify that amplifier as needed. An audio system’s Sound Pressure Level will be measured using an approved sound pressure level meter. Software for this test must be the current version of the USACI Outlaw SPL competition compact disc. The director of the USACI event will provide a disk in case the competitor does not have his own disk. The SPL judge will be responsible for making sure the SPL meter is set up and functioning correctly.

If you remember, I told you to test tone it first, and try not to play something your systen might not can handle. Rap music is not something you want to use for break in music. I'v never smelled my coils in my system, and I compete in every show possible. SQ and SPL ...

Good luck with your build. Post a build log with many pics!!

My suggestion, go to a couple of SQ competitions, set and listen to a few vehicles to find the particular sound YOU want. Then go from there. a set of components and a sub, sorry sir, theres ALOT more to it. Check out some build logs on this forum. Read some of the Competition rules for the dynamics requirements. Best of luck to ya sir. SQ can become a addiction if not careful. Trust me I'm hooked.

wish I could go. My air compressor went bad on my "White Lightning". It needs new back brakes before Scrain the Coast also. Best of luck to ya sir ... and to everyone else whos going as well.

awesome accomplishments ... nice work ...

awesome ...

I agree, I just perfer the extra ... well,,, extra. thats all. I play the crap out mine alot. shows, demos, comps, and parking lots. And of course some Sammy Hagar (I can't drive 55) on the highway !! My 10s are like Chiwawwas, small animals with a very big bark ...

Mike, where is all this work taking place ?? I need to get my bed/enclosure/batrack detailed ... Plus, if you don't mind I need your help covering my kicks(when you get time).

I would go with the second battery just for that extra reserve, headroom, and the chance of not needing jumpercables so much. just a suggestion sir. hope this helps ...

notify them of things like that before you pull up to the lanes. they will work with you. get it fixed before a regional event if you plan to go.

your fine ... best of luck sir ... Please let me know the outome.
