Question

Really?

Noone has said a word about it...

I didn't know.....

I have even had the judges look at my setup and they say "ok...whatever!"..then they put me in a class..

This year at IASCA events,they have been putting me in the Stock 161-260 class....IASCA events are the only thing I have run except for the International Stereo show,and I'm not sure what rules they were under...

What am I doing wrong?What do I need to do to be legal?

Again,I didn't know...

Thanks for bringing my attention to this...

I believe this year you can have two amps, one for each sub in street class. Correct me if I'm wrong.....

Street Division


· Street A – A maximum of 2 subwoofer amplifiers may be used. Total subwoofer amplification is limited to a maximum of 4 “non-bridged” output channels or 2 “bridged” output channels. (Please see the definitions section for more detail regarding bridging.)



o 1 to 2 woofers 12-inches in diameter or smaller

o OR a single woofer that is larger than 12 inches in diameter but no larger than 15-inches in diameter



· Street B – A maximum of 4 subwoofer amplifiers may be used. Total subwoofer amplification is limited to a maximum of 8 “non-bridged” output channels or 4 “bridged” output channels.



o 3 to 4 woofers 12-inches in diameter or smaller

o OR a pair of woofers that are larger than 12 inches in diameter but no larger than 15-inches in diameter

o OR a single woofer that is larger than 15-inches in diameter but no larger than 18-inches in diameter



Additional Guidelines for the Street Division:



· Amplifiers used for non-subwoofer applications will not be counted.

· Subwoofers may not contain more than 2 discrete voice coils per sub.

· Cargo vans and commercial vehicles are prohibited from competing in the Street Division.

· Sponsored vehicles are not permitted in the Street Division.


Street Division Passenger Compartment Restrictions


3-8a Modifications to the passenger compartment are prohibited.



Additional Guidelines:



· The OEM headliner (or an equivalent replacement) must remain in place.

· The OEM door panels (or an equivalent replacement) must remain in place.

· The OEM carpeting (or an equivalent replacement) must remain in place.

· Cut-throughs in pickup trucks are not permitted.

· Sound damping materials may be used to reduce vibration when installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommended installation instructions. The maximum total thickness of sound damping material applied at a given point may not exceed 5/32 inch (4mm). The sound damping application may consist of mat-type material, spray-on material, or a combination of the two. A maximum of 2 layers of mat-type material may be used in any application, even if the total thickness of the sound damping material(s) is less than 5/32 inch (4mm).

· Expanding foam may be used sparingly throughout the vehicle to seal small openings or reduce vibration, but may not be used to fill voids or other large cavities (such as the dashboard or doors).



3-8b Nothing in the sound system may interfere with the normal use and / or operation of the vehicle.



3-8c Seats may be folded for competition, but may not be removed from the vehicle unless they were originally designed as a consumer removable component. Competitors who fold their seats must be able to demonstrate that the installation of the sound system does not interfere with the normal operation of the seats that were folded.



Additional Guidelines:



· Any removable seat that remains installed in the vehicle during competition will be treated identically to a permanently installed seat.

· If a removable seat has been removed from the vehicle prior to competition, then the officiating staff will treat the vehicle as if that seat doesn’t exist.



3-8d If the vehicle is an extended-cab or king-cab pick-up truck, then the “normal use” restriction for “jump seats” that are located behind the front seat of the pick-up is waived.



Additional Guidelines:



· This waiver only applies to pick-ups that have “jump seats” located behind the front seat. The dBDRA defines a “jump seat” as an OEM seat that was designed to be folded up against the side or back of the pickup’s passenger compartment.

· Jump Seats may not be removed from the pick-up, but they may be folded in order to accommodate the sound system.
