not so much confusion about the rule itself, more about the fact it has changed so much, it now registers 99% of street class and SSNW cars defunct...

Some very interesting changes. The addition of a sedan (trunk) class is long overdue and a few years too late for me.

The freq limit in street is also very interesting, no more panda's.

Overall i believe positive changes :)

"All of the woofers in a vehicle (10 inches and larger) will be counted when determining what class a competitor should compete in.

Additional Guidelines:
  • Every woofer in an Isobaric or Compound configuration shall be counted.
  • Hidden woofers (such as those found in Bandpass enclosures) shall be counted.
  • Passive radiators, ports, and vents are not considered to be woofers, and therefore will not be counted as such.
  • If the largest speaker in the contestant's sound system is smaller than 10 inches (25.4 cm) in diameter, then all of the speakers that are being used to produce bass shall be treated as woofers."

this says to me that someone can have a single 10" sub to stay in the lowest class, but have an unlimited amount of say 8" subs and yet the car will still be clasified as having 1 sub lol. is it just me or is that a pretty bad mistake?

I think the "additional guidelines" overrules what you are saying mate.
