By all means, show me who manufacturers the spiders for RD? I'd wager that the same company also makes spiders for atomic (gasp!), fi, re, ia, and so forth.
Also, I don't believe that you didn't read my entire post, you just found one thing to disagreed on and rolled with it.
Someone complains about something every year, thats nothing new. lol.
The point I was trying to make is that you HAVE to use specific amps for classes in order to even have a chance. I understand the classes, but really it's just so out of date that it's laughable. I'm sure usaci is wondering why they are losing manufacturer support. Well theres one reason why. Why as a company would kicker or RF or any "big" company sponsor shows when they know their products are pretty much worthless in every class? I know I wouldn't pay $10,000 for a booth at finals if nobody is running my gear.
Going to actual power opens the door for EVERY manufacturer to have equipment in cars at finals. Going back to the good ole days where cars were filled with RF, memphis, kicker, mmats, etc. Nowadays you need to use a handful of brands in order to win.
You want a racing analogy? Here's one. I bring my 400 hp n/a car to compete in a 400 hp class. But the guy I'm going against has a turbo and 200 shot of nitrous. Sure, his engine is 400 hp naturally aspirated, but he adds on another 400 hp with the turbo and nitrous. Nobody says anything because hey, it's 400 hp naturally aspirated! It just doesn't make sense to me.
I'll play by the rules wherever I compete, but it doesn't mean that I think the rules make sense. Hell, MECA's rules are totally jacked up but that's what is around me so that's what I compete in. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
MidwestSPL is on the right track if you ask me.
