[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8766249, member: 614752"] I've got a build log posted around here somewhere. Pretty much a "stock" class so none of the roof, floor, door or glass modifications that would gain big are allowed. Meter at the dash with dB Drag style jig, doors and windows closed. We used to have 3 wall classes based on cone area, now I think there's only 2, the first tier topping out at 2 18's or thereabouts. So in the bigger regional shows that's putting me up against Bob Perillo's old blue van with 12 15s on 8K each. That van does 65's without breaking anything (or with half the amps or 3 subs blown) and supposedly can do 170 with all amps and subs working. That and there's another guy in Rhode Island that's looking to do a serious SPL vehicle in that class for next year, so there's really no way I'm competing with those guys unless I buy a cargo van and/or build something that can only play one tone. Honestly around here I'd be more competitive in the extreme class if I just welded some 1/4" steel to the roof, floors, and doors or similar since everybody in those classes mostly plays music, but on the worldwide stage if you're not into 170s they'd laugh you out of extreme modified classes.
