These rules were written by
the United States Autosound Competition International (USACI)
Rules & Ethics committee to retain the basic ideas that have
always made auto sound competition fun and competitive. Each
year USACI seeks input from its competitor members ... the
goal being to make the contests fair, fun and challenging.
These rules and any subsequent refinements are the result of
that input. It is USACI’s sincerest hope that these rules
will be received as an example of its continuing effort to
promote the auto sound industry.
The rules set forth on this site shall be used by the USACI
official(s) and/or judging staff at all USACI sanctioned
events. It is the responsibility of officials and staff to
adhere to these rules to the best of their ability. In
consideration of that, each competitor should read these
rules and have a thorough understanding of their meaning
when designing or improving a competition mobile audio
system.
The rules herein contained, supersede any and all previously
written USACI rules or guidelines. USACI reserves the right
to make written amendments to these rules without prior
written notification to its members. USACI will make every
effort to notify active members via the Internet of any
written changes. Internet notification will be via the
Official USACI Web site at: www.soundoff.org. All
competitors and enthusiasts are encouraged to visit our site
frequently for rules, event schedule and event results.
Best regards,
Ralph Randall
President, USACI

* INTERIOR MODIFICATION LIMITS:
No constructed
enclosure or speaker placement that may manipulate the SPL
sensor may be placed forward of the "B" pillar and will be
considered reason to reclassify the vehicle to the Port Wars
or Super Port Wars divisions or disqualification. This
decision will be at the discretion of the head judge.
Factory or factory replacement front seats must be installed
in the vehicle in factory locations. Must have the front
bench or both front seats. No woofers larger than 8" inches
may be forward of the "B" pillars.**
BATTERY LIMITATIONS:
The
physical size of each battery is limited to 800 cubic inches
(13110 cubic cm) or less. (Height x Length x Width.
Excluding the battery terminals.) The physical shape of the
battery is irrelevant. A 12 volt battery is defined as
a
battery that has a nominal terminal voltage of 12-Volts,
consists of 6 internal series-connected cells, and is
lead/acid or gel-type. A 16 volt battery is defined as a
battery that has a nominal terminal voltage of 16-Volts,
consists of 8 internal series-connected cells, and is
lead/acid or gel-type. A battery shall have no more than two
“unique” battery terminals connected to the system, one
being positive and the other being negative. Batteries with
more than two posts connected to the vehicle or system will
be counted as multiple batteries. Batteries that exceed
these 800 cubic inches or exceed allowed number of cells
will be considered multiple batteries. (Example: 801-1600
cubic inches is tow batteries. 12 volt battery with 7 to 12
cells would be two batteries, and so on).
These limitations apply to all classes with defined battery
limits. Any class and/or division that allows unlimited
batteries will not be bound by this definition
