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

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

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.
