techaninna Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 According to the 2009 DB-Drag rules.... 2-2 All of the woofers in a vehicle (10 inches and larger) will be counted when determining what class a competitor should compete in. Additional Guidelines: * Every woofer in an Isobaric or Compound configuration shall be counted. * Hidden woofers (such as those found in Bandpass enclosures) shall be counted. * Passive radiators, ports, and vents are not considered to be woofers, and therefore will not be counted as such. * If the largest speaker in the contestant's sound system is smaller than 10 inches (25.4 cm) in diameter, then all of the speakers that are being used to produce bass shall be treated as woofers. Now I guess the end decision will be made by the judge of the event... From what I've over heard as long as they don't break any other rules as far as mounting and positioning they are legal IE don't build a pod in the center of your dash... Thats just what I could find with a quick search of the rules. Quote Rebuild coming soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This includes Bassrace? And what about Showtime Ed? Quote My Videos AQ + AA/Fi FTMFW!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHR Ed Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Nice! This includes Bassrace? And what about Showtime Ed? For both Bass Race and ShowtimeSPL you can put 6) 18s in each door if you really wanted. Bass Race and showtime have no rules concerning this matter. Which makes it fun because I know people that have put 12s in their front floors for SQ competition.

A set of RF Power 6.5's in the doors, A 8" AA Assassin in each door, and a Set of RF Power 5.25" in the A pillars if not the door.... Thanks Ed for really clearing that up for me!

PUNKYOU007 Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 So after seeing the Caddy and Meades hoe I am getting curious.Is it still legal if you have an 8" mid-bass woofer or 8" subwoofer in your doors for DBdrag & Bassrace? I am thinking 1 or 2 6.5" comp sets, and a 8" sub but I don't want to do it to find out I'm put into an Extreme Class. Let me know guys, Thanks yeah it sucks to be put into an extreme class.

So unless yall wanna fight and then have some great make up sex i will leave it home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
