Want to learn about competitions...Any web sites out there?

I'm more curious than anything. I met up with a couple of my brother's friends who had low level competition systems and my hair almost fell out. I wanted to learn about how competitions worked and what kind of numbers these guys get. As a side note, anybody want to guess in what range i would get with my system? Just for comparison's sake See sig

Best way to find out how they work is to talk to some people during one.

The system in my sig easily reaches mid 120 decibels..more if I tweek it out. I think the pros can get 130's and higher

www.iasca.com
www.usac.com

Both of these have forums (they are the sanctioning bodies for competitions)

Check www.termpro.com (forum as well, has an IASCA and USAC Section).

www.carsound.com (usac and iasca forums as well).

www.sounddomain.com (forums, one is called competition).

That should get you started.
