Which competition class is easier?

It depends on how much fusing you have.
You have to have a fuse holder 18" from the subwoofer amp.

Since you have 2 15's, i'll base the classes off of that

AS2 goes from 751-1200. With your 2 15's, you can use ~80 amps of fusing

AS3 goes from 1201-2000. With your 2 15's you can use ~160 amps of fusing.

If I understood that right, I only have one fuse, bout a foot from the battery. 150A

The only fuse that matters is the one 18" from the SUBWOOFER AMP.

The underhood fuse does not matter. You HAVE TO have one 18" before the sub amp.

Ok I understand now. So I would prolly be best off with an 80A?

its depends if ur amp is efficient. im sure it will run off a 80amp all day. go to a meca show, the judges will be more then happy to get you into the best class possible

I was thinking bout it earlier. Should the fuse that has to be 18" from the amp be the se as the sum of all three fuses in the side of the amp? Or does that matter because I havea fise up front?

yo uwant to run as small a fuse as your amp will burp at. so if oyu cna burp with an 80 and get good power then do it.

You should do AS1. I've got 1600w and I'm in AS1 also. You can run a 35 amp fuse which I'm sure will last for your run. Even if it pops, as long as you get in a note at full blast, your score will still be valid (I think). It's driveby that gets tricky. . .

The score is taken at the headrest, car off, music playing (must be a real CD). After all that, your score may drastically change. Welcome to my world
