First topic message reminder :

This post will be updated to keep members informed of amps that are rerated as well as amps that are just "confusing" to rate or hard to get data on because of age, etc...... It will be updated on a regular basis

We have checked 18 Atomic amps at 7 different retailers across the United States and found 18 of 18 amplifiers have internal components other than those specified on the cases and in the manufacturers product literature. While this is a most serious issue and requires immediate action we must take into account the members who have unwittingly purchased this product based on the incorrect information provided.

At this time ALL ATOMIC AMPLIFIERS will be automatically rated and placed in the UNLIMITED POWER CLASS of each division. Competitors current points standings will not be affected nor will their ability to compete at finals. Competitors with Atomic amps may move up to the unlimited class at finals regardless of the power class they qualified in.

Straight from the desk of Ralph Randall to American Bass.

"These are official results and are "UsaCi Certified" ratings. You may use the "UsaCi Certified Ratings" in your literature and advertising if you so wish"

Model Number UsaCi rating allowed

CX 100.1 ---- 100 watts (UNLIMITED)
XD2000 -----400 watts
XD3000 -----600 watts. (previously protested)

Get caught seeding in Golden Meadow you go to jail

You talking about seeding or sPeeding? Eitherway, you're right.

My buddy got caught a couple of years ago with 119 plants. (seeding) To jail he went. Just got out a few months back.

I know countless people who have spunt a night in jail and half their paycheck for going 2 or more over the posted limit. Sux for out-of-towners, but great source of revenue for the town. We've won cleanest city (rural) in the state for the last 3 years or something. lol They've got lots of $$ to keep it clean.

Personally I say **** the Police. They all go eat lunch by my wife's restaurant, and she feeds them fat bastards for free, so they don't mess with me. I had one stop me last week just so he could sit in my truck to "see what it sounds like inside." lol

Will the new amps be built specifically to "fit" USACI's amp rating system?

got a question, im guessing that when they rated the kicker 1200.1 it said 450, which of course was at 4 ohm rating, so say i have 2 1200.1 that would put me in a 601-1800 class since it will be at 900, correct?
