1. No constructed enclosure, speaker placement, or interior modification that may manipulate the SPL sensor may be placed forward of the “B” pillar and will be considered reason to reclassify the vehicle to the Port Wars or Super Port Wars divisions or disqualification. This decision will be at the discretion of the head judge.

2. No modifications will be allowed to the interior of the passenger compartment forward of the “B” pillars that are intended to manipulate the cabin air space or manipulate the microphone or microphone placement. Removal or modification of OEM equipment in order to facilitate mic placement or modify cabin air space is not allowed.

Exception: In the case of a single cab pickup truck the box, speakers, and amplifiers may extend forward of the “b” post but must not extend further forward than the rear of the truck seat back. Seat back must be locked in place and the seat mounting may not be moved to facilitate system installation.

3. . Scores will be determined by an average SPL taken over 30 seconds.

4. Sensor placement will be any place in front of the “B” pillar facing forward with globe affixed or mounted to windshield without globe at 12” to the left of passenger’s side A pillar and 4” above the dash. (Competitor’s choice)

11. Exception to “USACI General Rules”. In Street Beat a competitor may compete in multiple classes within the Street Beat division provided his/her vehicle meets the qualifications for that class. .

(Example: A competitor has 4 - 10" woofers which qualifies him/her to compete in SB2, 3, 4 and 5 but not SB1. Remember that points qualification for SB1, 2, and 3 are listed as "maximum".)

12. Pros* may only compete in SB5.

13. SB5 is the only class open to any vehicles that use a system voltage higher than 14.7 volts or that uses multiple alternators. Any competitor who qualifies for Street Beat 1 through 4 may compete in SB5 by choice.

Since the official cd has to be used does that mean the records are going to be retired?

Once the CD is available I am sure the old records will be retired.


Good Luck to Everyone in the 2011 season. I can't wait to see you in the lanes!

might as well throw this thread in the trash. 15.5 max volts... nice! adj reg ftw! oh and bring it on with the usaci cd!

Ok so I was reading the new rules, and was wondering about a couple of things. Since sb only has to compete in 3 shows to get invited to finals. Does competing in finals the previous year count as one show? And what happened to rule 16?
