Good response. The basic intention of cutting metal within reason to run a bigger fullrange stereo rather than purely to score louder with bass. Makes sense.

[bobo333]

im gonna chime in here and clarify aswell that if a hole is cut and a full range speaker installed that it must actually work lol, no cutting a hole and putting a broken ass old factory speaker in there to let more bass through

[Dean the EX Grant]

is that an actual rule Beau? lol

The reason I brought the question up is I'm picking up a fully sick $450 VL tonight hahaha and I could bet dollars to cents that it will have had sick bass 6x9s just rough cut into the shelf....

IF I was going to just for a laugh put it in advanced mod the sub box would be on the back seat anyway so would it really matter if the rear speakers didn't work?

[Sorin-Andrei]

What Bobo wrote is correct - unfortuanately you will need to have speakers in those cutouts, or seal them up, or return them to factory spec.

On a good note, i have a set of cheap 6x9's that you can use.. run em off the headunit and you're good to go!!

[bobo333]

sure is dean

in your case if the box is on the back seat then the holes arent doing anything to make your car louder, but for arguments sake and keeping the rules uniform for everyone surely it wouldnt be very difficult to either hook the 6x9s up so they did work or take them out and cover the holes up with a factory equivalent material?

Sorin would you like to update this to reflect that the Sound Off Super Series is not only a series of stand alone events but is also a series where points are award?

I would but my handbook is in the car and I can't remember how it was worded lol

[Dean the EX Grant]

ok I grabed my handbook

3pts for 1st place
2pts for 2nd place
1pt for 3rd place
(awarded in each class)

Sorin or someone else will give full details.

Flipping through the handbook I have came up with a couple of questions, the answers to both questions seem to be common scence but I figure I will ask just because no doubt if it isn't clearifed it will pop up as an issue during the year (Murphey's law lol).

"Records Leadership
The top 3 scores per category will be recorded and regulary updated on the South Australian secion of the MEA website. To set a new record, the vehicle needs to have been scrutineered and signed off by no less than 2 judges at any single event." <<< the way this could be read means that I could get my car scrutineered at round one and then at round 2 set a record, maybe it should read "the vehicle needs to have been scrutineered and signed off by no less than 2 judges at the event which the score was produced"

In advanced and expert it say "no voltage limits" does this mean I could run 240v (or even more) ?

this is a good point, im sure Sorin will edit the rules on here when he sees this

as long as its all in your car i dont see why not, getting a big enough inverter and enough batteries to power a decent 240v amp wouldnt really be worth it though i dont think

You know me enough to know I'm rather diplomatic and even I would laugh at someone and tell them to "piss off d*ckhead" but facts are generators are small enough to fit in a car these days with no problems at all

[Big_Valven]

What generators have you seen that are capable of 10,000VA+ (realistically 20,000VA+) that fit in a car? I'd love to see one...

Same goes for power inverters.

Let's not get carried away here.

I don't think I'm getting carried away, just asking the question.

[AJ (LOUDA1)]

Does that mean no wall socketing?

In classes where the sub box needs to be behind the rear seat, Do amps and batteries need to be behind the rear seat also?

Novice, Int, Advanced - with the exception of amps mounted under front seats, nothing is to be installed in either the rear footwell or on the back seat. Nothing can impinge on the operation of the rear seat.

Regarding the window line in these categories (+ Advanced Mod) -

Sub box must always be below rear hatch/tailgate window line. In the scenario where someone's amp is slightly above window line we'll allow it but if someone has a wall of batteries or a full height amp rack and thus lmit rear visibility they wouldn't be allowed in Novice, Int, Advanced or even Advanced Mod..

G'day

Quick question, the SOSS is a points based series but what happens if for example the same person wins every event in "advanced" and another person wins every event in "advanced mod"

How will the over all series Champion be decided? or is there going to be a series Champion for each class?

I guess this is somthing I should have thought to ask at the launch dinner.

[Sorin-Andrei]

There will be a series champion Per Class.

That reminds me i need to create a new thread for championship points and records.
