You mean that the DD subs needed diff coils and you did not get them in time?
Yes. We only had 2 weeks left and stuff sits at the border for a while, it`s hit and miss. Sometimes 3 weeks sometimes 3 days. So we didnt order any. We needed dual 0.5`s to run all 8 amps but we had dual 1`s, so we only ran 4amps. After testing and watching the impeadance rise we needed 0.5`s to get to a final impeadance of 1.2 ohms with rise. We can get some crazy power out of these stetsom amps, but i wont post how much because people wont believe us.

So with the rules now out we dont know what to do. Stay with our loading wall and get owned in the bum, or go to the regular way wich would be more money for build materials or retire and crush or sell the vechicle. Either way for us in extreme we will have to spend more money for more equiptment to keep up. Looking for sugestions!!

We know everyone wants to be loud, so in theory there will be more BP cars in EX as they are louder.
So there should be two classes to split these cars up.
Considering 4 classes are getting squeezed into one, its a bit of a joke.

Mike and Mark you guys are by far the best extreme vehicle builders with your dedication and "extreme" attention to detail. I am actually blown away everytime I see a rebuild. I hope you guys don't retire. I also see the Zapco LD still working for ya, I got lots more if you need em.
