i always wanted to enter a sound event...i run 2 10"subs with 1000w amp...did a 127 on a Db meter seats up..
could i run (Power Limits 1001 to 2000 Watts
Stock 1 (1-180 sq")) class ?

i was thinking about doing this. either im going to upgrade my 10" from an L5 to an L7 or go from a 10" to a 12". either way i want to do this over spring/summer. i went to a few. some nice cars, loud too.

im thinking about going to get my car metered see what im getting for a reading. and figure out what i can do. im trying to stay in the stock class. but i need to find another amp.
probably going with the hifonics 2600wRMS amp, but then im worried about what class i would be in with that much power.
