**** i cant compete in the 601-1800 class ill get blown out the water i guess ill go down to a single 12 for SB1

After watching the dbdrag finals, no one above a street class as a daily driver anyway and I am not about to build a SPL-only vehicle

...I am thinking SB2 and I can crossover dbdrag and run 129.9. I should be able to do both with 2 12s on the back seat.

Idea I just came up with...

My idea....

Use the classes set...just with a twist.

if its rated at 1 ohm take the power * .40 like stated.

Amp A is rated at 1200@1ohm its power would be 1200*.40=480 for a class.

If its rated at 2 ohms...Take the percentage of the 4 ohm to 2 ohm jump in power and apply it to a guess on a 1 ohm power...

Amp B is rated at 1000@4ohm 2500@2ohms 1000/2500=40%

so 2500+40%=3500rms guess at 1ohm...

Now take that 3500 and *.40=1400

THIS looks fair to me...

Not really too much different as a 2500@2 would end up being 1375.

I'm moving my DD 3510's ...same ones used in my signature that I did a 153.6 with in SB2

IA needs to release a .5 ohm rating on the 20.1 and the 40.1. That would help them out alot. Especially if the .5 ohm rating is less the 2400 on the 20.1 that would keep that amp in the 0-600 class.

And all these people say MECA rules are complicated. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif
