Where can I go to locate a comp/event in my area?
I think that in the next few months I will be prepared to do a real competition and I am just wondering where I can go to locate future schedualed events In my Area. I wanna Bass Box it up!!! Im looking for San Antonio or Austin, TX area. I have looked at the MECA, and IASCA website but nothing is posted for my area. I know that events take place anually or semi anually I just dont know when or any of the details concerning them. If anyone know where I might look or how those shows are ran so I might become properly educated I would be greatful...

I think your outta luck. Your btl box is technically in passenger seating area and not cargo space. You might be able to remove the seats completely and says its cargo area. It is up to the judge's discretion. As for finding them. Find a basshead in your area and ask him. Most car audio shops should know. Or ask their real deal customers.

the thing that i wonder is that the seat folds from factory like its designed to fold up to make cargo space, so technically i am just using the factory cargo spacing that is available. I emailed the admin. to see what they say so ill let you all know.....

i found out that if my box is less than 25" total height from floor up than its not considered a wall, and i could compete with my truck in the light weight classes and that by putting a box in like the one i have is totally approved just has to be 25" or less, mine is 29.5" high... lame sauce...... not sure if i can run dual alternators yet....

@OP, how about creatinng your own local group?? You could start one on meetup.com whicch is free to join. I haven't seen any sound comp groups on there. Mostly the kinds of groups either beinng formed or in existence are for hikinng, fne dininng, wine tasting, and other sports.
