Competition Help

[Cmccloud 10+ year member]

Just wondering if anyone can help me figure out what class I would be in.

I drive a 98 Lumina 4 door. I have the Back seat where it is unbolted and able to sit on the back seat. I have a 40 amp or maybe 70 amp maxi under the hood. Then 4 gauge all through out. Then in the back I have a Batcap800 ran to my Quantum Audio 2000 watt amp. Then ran to the XXX 12.

Sorry to be so detailed but I am just trying to figure it out, I might go to a competition tomorrow to try it out. Thanks for any help.

One more thing, do I need to put a fuse inbetween the amp and batcap? Just wondering. The amp has 2 50 amp Maxi's in it.

Thanks again

it's going to be a meca show

For MECA you'll need a fuse within 18" of the amp.Usually its based on woofer size and fuse size.

So I need to put a fuse between the cap and amp, shit. All I have other then my little one is a anl with a 300 in it, lol.

oh and you cant run a maxi fuse in meca if u use the batt cap ull be in street one and without it you could run amateur street. i think you can run like 70 amps of fusing but you wont need near that much.

Yep needs to be between the Batcap and the amp.But yes a 300a fuse would put you in a class you don't want.Just buy a cheap fuse holder and stick a couple AGU fuses in it.

not with a 300 amp anl. you will need 63 amps or less worth of fuse to go s1. 108 amps or less s2, 188 amps or less s3, 388 amps or less s4

Just so you guys dont think I am some dummy that knows nothing I do have the loudest s1 and s2 scores posted all season, and this is the only org. I compete in at this point.

he could easily get away with 50 or less...... or he could undo the battcap and run in as1 with me

yea because tommy isnt runnin i would imagine

 

[bum123 10+ year member]

and yes the maxis are a no go in MECA however if it is under the hood and there is another fuse within 18 inches of the amp that is not a maxi you will be fine otherwise they will take half of the 1 ohm rating until you get it fixed. So if you are rated at 1000 rms at one ohm they will charge you with 500 in the pressure class rating. you can get the full rulebook at mecacaraudio.com

No actually I wish he was then I would quit bagging. Also I dont think 50's are that bad out of an suv in s1.
