The Amateur Bass Challange will be intergrated into the Db Drag part of the event. What this means is that your Db Drag qualifying and elimination scores will be counted towards your Amateur Challange scores.

Everyone who enters Amateur Bass Challange will be given TWO qualifying runs and at least one elimination run. All of which will be counted towards your Amateur Bass Challange score. Your highest number out of all your Db Drag qualifying and elimination runs is your top score for Amateur Bass Challange.

There will be 2 classes.

A1: Up to 1200 RMS watts of total subwoofer amp power
A2: 1201 - 2000 RMS watts of total subwoofer amp power

There is no amplifier swapping allowed. The amplifier(s) you enter with must be the same amplifier(s) you compete with thruout the course of the event.

Number and size of speakers does not matter. Your Amateur Bass Challange class will be determined when you register.

If your box is taller than half way of your side, rear window you will automatically be placed in A2 class.

For Amateur Bass Challange your rear seats do not need to be functional, but remember that having non function rear seats will put you in the higher Db Drag class.

There is a good change that people who are not in the same classes for Db Drag will be in the same Amateur Bass Challange classes, and visa versa, so don't get confused.

There will be trophies for 1st - 3rd for both Amateur Bass Challange classes.

since there is no amp swappin i doubt many 'pro' type guys would want to do the db drag part with a small amp.

This is my first year competing in the DB circuit, yet after reading this, I believe I don't even qualify for rookie status.
My amp is running at 2200 Watts (4000 peak) so what class does that put me in?
I purchased a bigger amp than I needed to allow room for upgrading in the future.
Am I gonne be competing with the big dogs even though I'm a noob?

well everyone is competing with "the big dogs" but its up to the judges disgretion on wether or not your allowed in the noob class. What kind of amp did you get?

I run a Power Acoustik Ps1-4000 D-class amp. It's nothing crazy, but it hasn't failed me yet.
I'm all about bang for the buck.

question is, will you drive 4 hours to come and compete?

Well we'll see... I'm running a single 18", so after checking classes, I'm going to be competing against some pretty badass systems. If I'm going to drive 4 hours, I'm going to want to be running at least middle of the pack (preferably top of the pack...).

If I end up doing shitty... well... looks like it's time to upgrade once again...
