I'm thinking about going to a meca event and try and place....but wat class will I be in 2-18's, 4000watts, two 300 amp fuses( can go lower if need to) and I have no idea if I have a street Box or not...trying to start going to comps so I can rep these ETHOS

Ok so first things first. Take a pic of your substance and post-it here. A street setup consists of all equipment being in the cargo area and remaining under the rear seat line. This does NOT include the headrest itself.

Meca classes are based on cone area + fusing amp x 10. So let's say you were using those 2 18's with the fusing (wattage doesn't count thus year) and you wanted to class. Then we take (sub size/2)squared * pie = 254. Since you have 2 it's 508. Now you say 2 300 amp fuses. Well that automatically puts you in Street 5 with this big setups. You should class on what fusing you can hold for a split second. In your case it depends on the amp and what ohm load you're running it at and how efficiently it's doing it. Me personally I'd try and do Street 3 with that setup which is allowed up to 3k points and 3 fuses max. So that means you can use up to 3 fuses to split the load with the remaining points leftover from taking the 508. So you're left with 1491/10 means 149 possible amps of fusing. You can run as close to that as possible and try and remain competitive.

I run MECA S5 and I can tell you it is a very tough class as the top guy is a 158.20. I Sit in 4th with a 150.6.

Example I run 4 18's and 8k watts and I use 190amps of fusing. Yes it blows quick but if I can get a score up thats all that matters. with your amp I would definitely go for S2 or S3. Just dont clip it it will blow quicker and current draw skyrockets
