it's 2000 watts at the lowest rated imp. basically the amp itself has to be 2000 watts or less.
very well put.
I agree with what everyone is saying, show up and run what you have. If you've never been to a show ever and you haven't done any homework, it'll be confusing as hell unless you get to know some people to help you out. It's a learning experience, the more you go, the more you learn.
Wise words.
I had my system tuned as loud as I (thought I) could at the time, cleaning up all the minor comps we had going on and I still got beat by 2.5+db (don't remember the exact numbers now) in the final round at a the dBdrag I went to, and I only made it that far because the guy I ran against previous had a technical issue so I got a pass. If I had gone thinking I was going to win, my ego would've been battered, but I knew my 1 15" 1 amp was little competition for the guys with 2 12"s 2 amps I'd be running against. Truth is, if I had of known then what I know now, I probably could've been much more competition than I was.
Save your upgrades until you go to at least one show. If your building to compete, make sure you know the rules and stick to them, or else you'll get thrown into a group that you won't want to be in. If you're just building for a daily driver, build it how you want, check the rules after your built so you'll at least have some idea of what group you'll be in when you get there and run what you got. The way I see it, if you aren't a pro./vet. or doing a spl specific build, it pretty much doesn't matter what group you're in, there is most likely going to be someone louder than you, so just go to have fun, you may be surprised.

Just a question for you guys out east, how competitive is the SS NW class?
Kinda wondering as there seems to be far more posts over here on the East side of the board.
I'm going to my first comp's this weekend, here in Calgary, and gonna go to Lethbridge too. I have low expectations as my car was really made to sound good with music soooo just want to hang out and maybe meet some of the hardcores and see what my system can do. Any guesstimates what I might hit, and suggestions as to the freq I should burp at?

I thought about this last year. LOL Get a 3000 rms amp and dial it down to make 1950 rms and good to go. Ahhh NO according to the judges this is not allowed, the amp must be RATED for 2000 rms or under. They clamp it to make sure the underated amps actually stay below 2000. If any of you guys are coming out for the first time look for the Burgundy Chrysler LHS my name is Nick and I will sit and talk car audio all day.
