I've never been to one, but I would like to know what class I would be in. Do they go by watts, subs, or ohm to pick were you go? It's on a sat and if I can get off, I'll go up there. I heard it advertised on the radio, so I was thinking about doing it.

I know I should go up there and find out, but I'll have to find time to do that, I was just wondering if you guys could tell me a lil info about comps.

Depends on who the comp is through. DB Drag, MECa, and IASCA all ahve different ways to judge class.

Well what are some of the ways they judge? I read that some ppl don't like the way some of the those comp companies work. I read a story about how they screwed the shop out big time.

Meca goes by the fuse rating on your sub amp (at the Sitro Block) and the subs diameter and number of subs (Pressure rating they call it),

IDBL and others usually go off of Sq Inches of woofers, applied power and if you have extra batts or alts...

Biggest thing is to make sure you KNOW the rules before entering the comp. It'll make things go a lot smoother when you get there. Find out who's sanctioning it and learn the rules first.

If its just a shop putting on one with no real rules you will be in for a treat. Take
it with a grain (CUP) of salt.
