WRONG WRONG WRONG

vehicle does have to be sealed up (doors shut windows up)

but bassrace your not allowed to play tones. but your allowed mp3 players, ipod and burnt cds. i use them.

also mic is placed same spot as db drag legal. on the passenger side windshield

also no sweeps he is right that the music has to be open to the public you have to be able to buy it in a store or itunes ect. ect.

there are banned songs and cd's like loud as hell cd banned

other than that its pretty much skill to get you a 9.9 in whateva class you want to be in

its all about skill and how you controll your system.........

meaning you can have as many batts amps subs walls no wall even extreme cars can bass race built in front of the b pillar its all how about the controll and getting the xx9.9

[HHR Ed]

yeah, pretty much no rules on the build.

Class is figured in the qualifying round.

You pull up to the lanes, mic is put on the pass side windshield, car is sealed up (you can be inside or outside).

The play music when the clock starts. The meter takes a 30 second average so a good start and consistancy is a must.

If your average is 138.4 dB then you will be placed in the 130-139.9 class.

Then brackets are randomly picked and you move to eliminations.

During elims you go head to head. You have to come to get louder than the other guy during the run but the trick is to not go over 139.9 dB. If you hit 140+ at anytime during the run, you lose.

You can use an Ipod. or a Zune.

I've always wondered, how do they do the classes in bassrace?

What stops you getting a car that can do 150's on music and just running 139.9's every time (including qualifying), which I assume would be somewhat easier than running in the 149.9 class?

Nothing stops that. It doesnt matter. The point is control.

If your system can do 150s, then its harder to keep it in the 139.9 class because on click of the volume too high or too loud of a start can shoot you over 140 very easily. I have done it myself.

A perfect score in that class is 139.9 If your system can only do a 138, then it would be wise to shoot for the 129.9 class.
