0-1000 modified amplifier placement

First topic message reminder :

Can the subwoofer amplifier be placed in front of the B pillar?

Thanks

You gotta give somewhere, I have been through this with a different ruling myself but when it comes down to it the rules are the rules no matter how much we disagree with them. You can complain till your blue in the face but its not gonna change. Attend the rules meeting next season and voice your opinion.

Dude(I assume) do you want a cookie? Take the combativeness elsewhere.
I'm trying to solve an issue here and you aren't in the least bit helping.

am I suppose to bow down to you or something? I never said it wasn't impossible dumbass.

i was always under the impression that under the seats was cargo area.. as in a tahoe for example.. you can run stock and have the amps under the 2nd row of seats as long as its not sticking out i remember when brusier ran his in stock with autotek 4ks under the back seat.

That's behind the b pillar

But not in the cargo area. The new rules seem to leave this part out. I know in the old rules it was stated that amps, batteries, enclousures and any speaker used for SPL must be in the cargo area. Mod allowed for amps under the second row of seats in Yukons and Tahoes, but stock all equipment must be in the cargo area. Of all the rules that could use refining this isn't one that will get any attention. This has been the way it has been in the rules as long as I remember.

I love how a bunch of noobs come on here, don't want to do the work to get loud and listen to the vets and think they are going to get basic rules changed to their liking. Nice first thread.

How can you call it a rule if it isn't even in the rule book?

You're obviously new to Usaci. There are plenty of known rules that aren't in the "rule book" that is posted. It seems in this version they accidentally left the word amplifier out of the parts where it tells you where equipment can be placed. If amps were allowed in front of the b pillar there wouldn't be an exception for standard cab pick ups would there? Common sense.

If it is not in the rule book, nothing can be said as to whether it's illegal. I feel that with it's current wording I can put the amp whereever I feel like putting it.


If the rule book says otherwise then please show me. Until it says so, the amp legally can and will be placed in front of the b pillar.

Go ahead. I assure you it will not pass inspection. Again......if there wasn't a rule about where an amp can be placed why would there be sections for exceptions to that rule? A simple call to the office would clear this up for you.

my astro has a storage drawer that slides out under the passenger seat.. thats for cargo.. is it not? i still think usaci has always considered under the seat as cargo.. LOTS of people have thier 4 channels under there..i would just call the office or PM ralph

There is alway gonna be gray area to a lot of rules, its hard to nail down every aspect of every rule. It just comes down to character.

I've actually asked my regional director about the new caravans with sto and go seating. If the seats are up that spot in the floor was designed for cargo, so........

Well said. Says a lot about some of the characters we have here.

I pmed the Ralph guy

bump

A lot easier just to go by the rules instead of having conflicts at everyshow you go to.

Man really...unless ur going too finals, or have an obviousssss rule break....no one will say anything at local shows.

Its not like we talking about world records here.


I dont see it affecting anything scorewise, so i dont care about it.

x2 unless you go over to texas where they seem to have a lot of douchebags who get their panties in a bunch (not saying all of you are like that). If its not thoroughly explained in the rule book then legally USACI cannot reject someone for doing something not stated IN THE RULE BOOK that it cannot be done. Implied verbal rules are very hard to hold up so until it is stated in the rule book then place the amp how you want to.

Besides and big show down in this area you have to deal with Nick in Mod 0-1000 so doubt he will car where you have your amp

only in a single cab and they cant extend beyond the front seat.

I think it's great that the guys from Texas will all line up to read you the rule book that we all follow......if you tried this hard to be loud as you do trying to break the rules you'd already be louder, sanman you let em off to easy lmao

At this point I've pretty much accepted that it's a dumbass rule, now all I'm hoping is that it gets put in writing.

being a good guy is when someone doesn't challenge a grey area because they understand it didn't affect their score nor is it worth it....challenging a grey area shows insecurity. If it was a blatant breaking of a well defined rule then yes I can understand someone challenging it.
