So has anyone tried a direct swap-out yet, I'd be interested to see for what and the results.

Nothing?

How much longer before they are released? Has any testing gone down yet, I know of a great place to test them:

I have competed in DB Drag, IASCA, SLAP, USACi and TNESPL. All had benefits and all had drawbacks but for me it is DB Drag all the way. The reason is that if you want to compete at the highest level then DB Drag is where it is at. When it comes to spl it is like reaching the NFL or NBA, to me it is the pinnacle of spl competition. I have never done a sound quality competition but have seen some of the IASCA sq judging, I also have a copy of the rules. It seems to have far too many rules to actually be able to enjoy what you are doing(but this is just my opinion), I also checked out DB Drags rules for Psyclone and think they are far too minimal. There needs to be something in the middle, and there very well may be with one of the other organizations. I urge everyone to check out www.teamnortheastspl.com, it is a budding organization here in the northeast(mainly New York and Canada). There is also a forum if anyone wants to ask any questions or just get to know some of the guys competing there.

Now that Tommie has retired I will test four of them, compare them to my two 40.1s and see what they can do for Street Max. Come on Nick, you know you wanna send them to me!

Send me two, I'll test them out for you!

Thanks Nick, I sent him a message.

Does anyone have a pair of 40.1s that I could borrow for Finals? I already have two and if anything happened I would replace with my amps. I would obviously pay shipping.

Actually the danger lies in performing the mod, but I might have that problem solved as well so we will see. You could always send me your two and I will send you back mine, then you could just perform the mod again.

No mods, I talked to Nick and he said it wasn't worth the risk.

There is no exact answer, everyones box rise is different. While I can burp them over and over again at .25 others cannot, your setup will dictate what load is right for you.

The CS9000 is one of the best batteries for Street Max, the output is on par with the other monster batteries under 800 cubic inches(batcap, DD) and can be had for a few hundred dollars less. It is however very expensive, you could order one from Cactus for $900 plus shipping. I wouldn't recommend it for anything other than DB Drags street max class however.

Is there any down side to this mod, is it dangerous for the amp?
