Rules of Competition
IASCA IdBL
Goals
This competition format was created with multiple divisions (Amateur, Stock, Stock Advanced, Advanced and Ultimate) and based on the experience and industry position of the competitor and the level of modification to the vehicle. IdBL Classes are based on the cumulative total of all subwoofer cone surfaces in square inches.
Criteria
Sound Pressure Level (SPL) measurements in deciBels (dB) are registered using the Official IASCA SPL meter . Determining the winner is simple; the highest score in each class wins! Any metering system may be used at SPE or DPE events, however at TKE’s and WRE events, the Official IASCA SPL meter must be used. Typically, most show promoters will offer two scoring attempts, giving each competitor the opportunity to increase their previous score. The highest score of the two attempts will prevail.
Purpose
The purpose of IASCA IdBL is to raise the standard of sound system installation, educating consumers and industry members alike to the benefit of a properly installed aftermarket sound system, without bias or consideration towards brand or vehicle, aiding in the promotion of system safety, performance, serviceability and cosmetics.
