Your welcome man. Thanks to you for such a great site. I wish I was a little closer cause I'd love to attend a test n tune event. Unfortunately thats a little too far of a drive.

I think most of the fellas on here are capable of making their own cds, so how about every donation gets a list of your bumpin songs and then they can handle it themselves from there? That way you circumvent the illegal distribution side of things. Also, depending on how much footage you have, maybe you could do a dvd of all your vids in one big compilation? They're your vids so no worries about copyright laws. Lastly I work for a sign company and could easily donate a ton of "SMD" or "Steve Meade Designs" decals for anyone who donates. Just a thought.

Way too many variables. Box specs, vehicle, & tuning will all play major factors here.

Outlaw style BassRace sounds good.

I just saw an ad on this site for Hurrican Chris A Bay Bay. ^

Stetsom is the new hottest thing out. Two new records were recently set using their amps. Alan Dante set one in his class but I forget who the other was. The 7K is supposed to be a monster.

My kids love that song.

Budweiser Select

That was the first one that popped into my mind. Next one was the Sundown saz-1500d. Either way you go you better have a nice beefy electrical system to handle it.

Rockford Fosgate T3002 for $153 shipped. This amp is good for an average actual power output of 838watts @ 2ohms. http://cgi.ebay.com/Rockford-Fosgate-Power...1QQcmdZViewItem If you want 1ohm stable then go for the RFT5001bd for $192 shipped. Its good for an avergae actual power output of 628watts @ 2ohm and 927watts @ 1ohm. http://cgi.ebay.com/Rockford-Fosgate-Power...1QQcmdZViewItem

To give my opinion on some of these, I would like to see competitions setup more for your average Joe street competitor. I'd like to see stricter rules in beginner/street classes keeping the pros and their spl fart boxes out. IMO they should use sub and fuse amperage limitations as well as a lower cap on the frequencies being used. I know I don't play my daily setup at 60-70hz so why should I have to compete with someones trailered-in fart box that does. What would DbDrag's Street classes be like if they were limited to a max fuse rating of 150a-300a (depending on class) with a 40hz cap on the peak frequency? Would it become more competitive or would it drive people away? How do you define a beginner/street car? Well I'm not sure how to define that exactly but I know what shouldn't be there. IMO if you have a wall of subs, over 4Kwatts, a modified vehicle (lexan windows, external clamps/bolts build outs, bracing, etc.), multiple alternators, 3+ runs of 0awg wire, multiple extra batteries, or a 15+v charging system then you're not a beginner.

I too have my disagreements with it. However its near impossible to classify people by how much actual power they are running since some run @ 4ohm and some competitiors run down to 0.125ohm, then some people run basic 12v systems when others run 16-18v setups. IMO I've always preferred subwoofer classes. The only problem here is that your average "street" competitor doesn't run high power subs such as MTs or BTLs with thousands of watts of power. This puts them at an extreme disadvantage to a purpose built spl car. DbDrag is a perfect example here. There isn't any way your average Joe off the street can compete in one of DbDrag's "Street" classes. NSPL has some new rules for their beginner classes where they're are classified by subwoofers and limited by number of amplifiers and amperage ratings of those amplifiers. This makes it a little more even for you average Joe exccept that NSPL uses manufacturer's ratings and not actual fuse ratings so there are still under-rated amps beings used giving some an advantage over the rest. This is why I like BassRace the best. It doesn't matter how many or how big your subs are, how many or how powerful your amps are, what kind of vehicle you have, or what kind of electrical system your using and it simply doesn't matter how much money you have or have spent. You choose what class you want to run in depending on how loud you want to play your system and anyone can win.

If you could add/subtract/modify any competition rules what would they be? Also please explain why. It doesn't matter the organization. Just pretend you're creating your own format for competing. Do you prefer subwoofer classes or power classes? How should subwoofer classes be broken down? For power classes should they go by maufacturer's rated wattage, amperage ratings, or actual installed fuse ratings? How do you define the difference between a beginner class and an amateur class? How do you keep "Pros" from disguising themselves as beginners?

The ratings for these are 650watts x 1 @ 4ohm 1200watts x 1 @ 2ohm 2000watts x 1 @ 1ohm They come with remote bass knobs.

You beat me to it. Serious fighters like Liddell, Couture, & Hughes would kill this guy. In the first UFC events, there were plenty of "Kung Fu" type guys that always lost. MMA FTW.

$250 for each, used or new.

2 are used with typical scratches and scuff marks. 2 are brand new in the box never been used. $250 each + shipping which will likely be around $15.

Damn Headshok is gettin around. 1st Rockford Corp, then Atomic, and now Meade's place. Where's he going to visit next?

You can buy a 5pk of those for $1 at Radioshack.

A T1K will easily power a Q, BL, or a pair of SSDs. FI doesn't recommend getting a BTL with less than 2000watts and the T1K is only good for around 1500watts.

Yeah thats a couple serious mistakes there.

35hz?!? Wow! Thats kickass for such a low frequency. That makes me feel lucky that I get to peak at 41hz but I still get jealous seeing these other guys with suvs hitting in the 50hz range. Excellent job on a nice score at such a low frequency. Done any bass race yet? I'd like to see a vid of that.

What was the frequency? Good job on the win.

I ran one of my T1Ks on a pair of HX2s w/ no problems and a buddy of mine has a T1K on a pair of T1 15s without any problems. Idk but something sounds fishy. Anyways, x2 on a pair of SSD 12s. They'll drop directly into that box and your amp will power them nicely. But if it blows them then something is wrong elsewhere.

Circumference x Length = inside surface area but I don't recall him asking for that.
