Sweet looks like we will have a good turn out. Team US AUDIO will be at the show, so there will be some serious competition.

Just a Heads up, MECA classes are determined by fusing and cone surface area. MECA allows you to use an external fuse block (MUST BE VISIBLE) within 18" of the amp as a reference for fusing rather than the fusing in your amp. This can be advantageous, because you may only need a 80amp fuse to burp your subs, whereas your amp may have 150 amps worth of fusing. Using the external fuse with a lower current rating puts you in a lower class and makes you more competitive.

Just wanted to be sure everyone was aware. We sell Dynaudio, Rainbow, and Memphis, as well as the usual Mainstream brands. WE WILL HAVE REDICULOUSLY LOW PRICES AT THE SHOW. Be ready to buy, because it is one day only.

Correct for MECA members! This has been a pretty consistant (fair) and fast was to verify classes. MECA members must use AGU, ANL or mini-ANL, AUE, ATC fuses .

For non-MECA members it is still a good idea for our competitions to have in-line fusing ... but it is unreasonable to assume you would have in-line fusing prior to the amp so we have a preferred order: total of on-board fusing on the amplifier, if no fuses then 1/2 the amplifiers CEA rating will be used, if that rating is not available then 1/2 the available the maximum peak rating, if that is not available then 1/2 the published rating, if that is unavailable then 1/2 the theoretical rating is used.... whew so everyone can play even if the dont have an in-line fuse

BUT as 12Voltz mentioned there are serious advantages to proper fusing for non-members too
