It's one of them great grey areas.just fill up the empty spaces with 6.5" subs and use a single 12 or pair of 10's.it will be legal for db drag, but idbl uses total cone area(no advantage there)
i tested out my 6.5" free-airs, and they will play really low.Guude Luuk [img]tongue.gif[/img]

 

It's not in the rulebook, but has been gone over quite a few times.

If you are using a driver less than 8" for your subbass, they take a rough calculation of the cone area, and use that in comparison to the rest of the class.

looks like 4 6" drivers for Street A, 6 for Street B, and 12 ish for Street C.

 

Not really, here is a statement from the rules:
If the largest speaker in the contestant’s sound system is smaller than 8 inches (20.32 cm) in diameter, then all of the speakers that are being used to produce bass shall be treated as woofers.

 

Thank you Seege for the clarification with the rules I just read it in section 2 of the DB Drag rule book.

You know that in mind, someone should manufacture some 7.5" subs, even 7.75" subs, they would perform right next to the eight's,, and not count up placing in a higher class..

Imaging having 12 8ohm 7.75" subs w/3 amps. nice combination ehh, wonder what IASCA would say, or how they would class it, hmmmmm
