You are right that there are a few SD amps around, but those are also in the Pro classes where spending money isn't a big deal. The Rookie classes have a 2K limit and the WooferCooker classes have a 5K limit, so those will help keep it fair and cheaper for the newer competitors. Drags does have the Street Stock class with a 2K limit and thats good for the rookies too, but after a year or two of competing you have to go to Street and expect to start dumping thousands of dollars in gear every year to be competitive. With Woofercooker and a 5K limit you don't have to keep buying bigger and newer amps, what you will have to do is learn to build a more efficient enclosure and the right subs for it. The sport shouldn't have to be super expensive for people to come out and have fun, thats where TNESPL is a bonus, until you get into the WCPro and Pro classes, but not everyone will get into those.

Power is not that big a deal I have no idea why evryone thinks that power is the only thing to make people get loud. Trust me most of us guys who run the big amps on a small amount of battery are not seeing the power most people think we are. My crx will kill my durango even with 5k. So how is power such an advantage its really the car that helps more then the equipment.

well duh of course a crx will get louder than a durango... my crx was 3-4db louder than my acura rsx straight up, both hatches, same equip, oh well... you can buy an amp or three or a better sub setup or you can buy a diff car lol, money always gets allocated one way or another but it stays in the general hobby aka car audio itself.

Of course power isn't the only thing that gets you loud, but it is an important and sometimes very expensive part of it. Vehicle, enclosure design, enclosure placement, sub size and design, those are all important for getting loud and next buying a certain vehicle for it, power is the 2nd most expensive part of SPL.

Hey Mike I got some SICK boxes if you wanna try some out. Got a couple 15 boxes as well as 12's. They all will handle the power your gonna throw at them. Not to mention got a couple Bataps left over

With the Ab 1100.1's I was able to pull 7k per amp with a retarded rise for whatever reason. Pulled 1160amps from the pr. Seems to like 140v as its best output. With 6 batts voltage did not drop below 11.4v. I was demoing the AB's strapped at .5 and had no issues. Voltage set at 15.3v and droping to 13.6v

I know its not a k9 but its similar
