Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 8928 Registered: Jun-04 | keep in mind its a meca meet and and they go by fuse and woofer amounts in the classes |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 8929 Registered: Jun-04 | one 12 l7 and 60 amps of fuse puts you at the limit in the lowest class I think |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 8931 Registered: Jun-04 | in-line...and alot of guys run smaller fuses but push them as far as they can go without poping the fuse the classes are easy to calculate...its the fuse size times 10 plus the cone area |
|
Gold Member Username: Mike11202DD9515G VFL 200.1 = : , Sewell, NJ US Post Number: 1653 Registered: Nov-06 | well i can't find the in-line fuse.. only the one from the battery which is 300amp |

Silver Member Username: Basebalz13Moneta, Va Usa Post Number: 436 Registered: Aug-07 | =[ i want some ecoustics buddies there come on yanks |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 8942 Registered: Jun-04 | "if i was to compete what class would i be in using 2 aq hdc315 and 2 aq 2200d amps" 353 square inches of cone plus 400 amps of fuse equals fuse x 10 = 4000 plus the cone area 353 = 4353 so S5 4001+ unless you ran less fuse |

Gold Member Username: Talon01Team Revolution , Pa Usa Post Number: 1156 Registered: Jun-07 | the fuse has to be within 18" of the amp to count as legal |

Gold Member Username: Mike11202DD9515G VFL 200.1 = : , Sewell, NJ US Post Number: 1660 Registered: Nov-06 | For non-MECA members it is still a good idea for our competitions to have in-line fusing ... but it is unreasonable to assume you would have in-line fusing prior to the amp so we have a preferred order: total of on-board fusing on the amplifier, if no fuses then 1/2 the amplifiers CEA rating will be used, if that rating is not available then 1/2 the available the maximum peak rating, if that is not available then 1/2 the published rating, if that is unavailable then 1/2 the theoretical rating is used.... whew so everyone can play even if the dont have an in-line fuse  Watch out for my 200 watt amp  |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 8947 Registered: Jun-04 | so I take it your going to compete...if so what sub are you going to run and what fuse amount |
|
Gold Member Username: Mike11202DD9515G VFL 200.1 = : , Sewell, NJ US Post Number: 1661 Registered: Nov-06 | im thinking about using a kicker 12" L7 still looking for a good spl sub |
|
Silver Member Username: ExplictxGlen Burnie, Maryland USA Post Number: 527 Registered: Mar-07 | Doesn't look like im going to be competing in this one. i have no idea about these classes. but ill still be there. |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 8953 Registered: Jun-04 | "im thinking about using a kicker 12" L7" you could either run 60 amps of fuse with the solobaric 12 and see how much it can take before poping the fuse and go in the as 1 class or go with 100 amps of fuse and slam that sub with as much as the fuse can take as well and go in the as 2 class...I know one 10 l 7 took 1500 watts minus voltage drop...my buddy ran two l7 10's on 1500 rms each |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 8954 Registered: Jun-04 | "I know one 10 l 7 took 1500 watts minus voltage drop...my buddy ran two l7 10's on 1500 rms each" on a burp in a spl box |
