I want to know if I can have a amp mounted to the top of my box... it will be higher than my rear windows and I think I read something about not being able to do that, cant remember if it was db drag, or what. I believe I will be running in street C as it is, and dont wanna be bumped up to the next division because of an amp mounted too high.

Equip:
4 x 12" GTi's
2 x 1200.1's
2 x batteries
1 4 channel amp
1 crossover


Thanks in advance,
Cory

 

Having your amp mounted above the window line would put you in Street Max

 

thats not what I wanted to hear........

 

Uh, doesn't the Street classes stop at two 12's? Four 12's would be Streetmax 3-4 I thinks, wouldn't it?

 

Street C Class – A maximum of 4 subwoofer amplifiers (or 8 externally bridged monoblock amplifiers) may be used. A maximum TOTAL of 8 electrical conductors may be used to connect the amplifier(s) to the woofer(s).

o One 18-inch woofer

o OR a maximum of two 15-inch woofers

o OR a maximum of four 12-inch woofers

o OR a maximum of six 10-inch woofers

o OR a maximum of eight 8-inch woofers

6-7i Competitors in the Street A and Street B classes are limited to 1 battery. Competitors in the Street C class are limited to 2 batteries.

 

Ah, silly me... I stand corrected [img]smile.gif[/img]

 

How strict are they on that rule? I know im close, I think my rubber surround might be a bit higher. Also, I'm gonna mess around with my ports and might be screwing a 1/2 inch piece of MDF to the top which would prolly put me a bit higher...

 

they can and probably will do a string test. I am in the same boat. I need to change my install to stay in Street A or I will be bumped.

 

Take the amp off and throw itto the side man!
Otherwise about the surround... if it doesnt look like its over the window line, then i bet they wont test. but if it looks kinda sketchy then they'll pull out the ol string.
On my wall im 1/8th away from passing the B-Pillar! (thats the other string test location)

 

I lucked out, the amp fits behind my seats, if it was 1/4 inch higher the seat would hit...

But i dont think that matters now, im pretty sure im gonna be screwed for the string test, I'll have to check tomm.
