So it seems that there is alot of misunderstand with this theme.

Can we get (or make) a solid set of rules for this month? (Not to step on anyones toes.)

Are we talking about 1000 watts RMS, or 1000 watts on the box (or amp)?

And what about the 4 ohm rule people keep refering to?

I'd just like to get some stuff cleared up for people that still have questions about it, because in all honesty I'm kind of conufused now too. haha

Thanks.

Basically the way im seeing it, anywhere it states that your total power in your vehicle is over 1000 watts, whether it be 1 or 500 or more, you do not get in.

So if it states anywhere whether .5, 1, 2, 4, 8 ohms, no matter what impedence, if its over 1000 rated power from manufacturer, you can NOT, enter this month!

So someone running a 1 ohm stable amp at 4 ohms, but rated power at 1 ohm is over 1000 watts you dont qualify, because your amp has the potential of being over 1000 watts!

I hope that helps clarify!

This is the one I was referring to BTW

Eclipse Amps

XA 1000 and EA 4000.

But those amps are rated less than I thought so I think it's legit ;-)

I think you were right about him being over. It looks like the xa-1000 is rated @ 640w max and the ea-4000 is rated @ 400w max. This is according to- http://www.eclipse-web.com/

i have the owners manual to my XA-1000...its rated at 480W RMS@ 2 ohms. idk since when ppl look at max power rating.

my shits legit under 1000 Watts. and the EA 4000 is 75 Watts RMS @4 ohms x4.

do u need a calculator?

Edit: if u want me to really be a douche about it. the HU does 14W rms per channel.( even though there not hooked up) u can add that if u like

4 ohm rule? i dont remeber this being a USACi event.

[JeremyN]

I NOMINATE my self

thanks

i have the same 12s right now

[blankskater08]

Ok. I think that clears up almost everything from what I can tell the misunderstandings are.

But are the rules going by RMS or rated power.

IE: The Kenwood KAC-9104D 1800 watt amp.

It says it is 1800 watts but RMS at MOST is around 1000 watts. (KAC-9104D)

So what do you go by?

Just trying to help clear things up for people.
