In all honesty though... how many times are you going to get a person that runs both batteries in their trunk?

You were talking about "who runs with their car off" ... well who has a system in their car that isn't attached to their alternator?

Without it the whole system is really only good for comps because you have to continually hook a charger up to it.

point well taken

Competitors will be further divided based on the cone area of all woofers in their system with a diameter of 8" or larger. The TWO divisions are as follows:

I think these are general rules to define the specific classes.

Vehicle modifications can be outlined in another section.

what Jordy said. that part of the rules will be done once the classes are broken down
