what do you mean seats folded vertically? and did you try glove box open? and center console do you have a pic?

needs to try glove box open, play with sunvisors, play with seat position (forward /back / tilt), play with opening/closing air vents, play with headrests, move box around, try turning the box so the port loads into the back corner of the truck, invert the phase on the sub, round the back of the sub cutout, round all the external edges of the box, stiffen the port (fiberglass or wrap with duct tape), duct tape around sub, paint outside of box, move steering wheel, try closing off pole vent of sub, ... and i could go on and on, but i gotta let the guy atleast do a little thinking on his own....... there is atleast another 4 or 5 db in this thing.......

Glove: done

sunvisors: done

seats: done

air vents: done

headrest: My explorer don´t have them :)

box around: done

turning the box: done

invert the phase of the sub: WTF? really? tell me a little bit more about that man, i´ve never heard anything like that.

round the cutout and all external edges: that was one of the primery goals of not having glue on the box, but this things is leaking way too much and i honestly got bored already haha, i´m gonna build the new box and i´m gonna try that with a borrowed router, i´ll post the gains or losts of this on this same topic.

Stiffen the port: didn´t care that much because i started getting bored haha, i guess i could have gained some :)

Duct tape around the sub: i´ve tried that on the past and gained a little bit, i honestly forgot about trying that on this thing :peepwall:

Paint outside the box: Well, i forgot to mention, i tried printing vinyl on the outside and lost 0.2 dbs, how much have you gained with paint on the outside of the box hugh? would like to get an input on this one!!

move steering wheel: haha really???? this topic is getting better and better, first time i hear that, but you mean is adjusting the height of it? or just moving it to the sides and see if it gains? this one is new for me!

closing pole vent of sub: what´s a sub vent? once again, my "english" is not the best!

instead of pos on amp to pos on sub, and neg on amp to neg on sub, try pos on amp to neg on sub, and neg on amp to pos on sub. ive had this gain .2-.3 in my car before.

ive gained nearly half db before painting outside of enclosure

Great input hugh, i honestly had no idea i could gain by invert the phase of the sub, but this helps on a single sub setup or works for multiple sub setups? also, didn´t have a clue about covering the hole of the sub and better yet, the wheel height!!!

I think i´m gonna save this piece of crap box and keep testing it then, if you can give me other tips would be awesome man!!!

Also, i haven´t play much with my termlab, i bought it from a member a month ago, how do i set it to 4 1/2 digit? that should help me a lot :)

This really isn't a big secret...

I'm glad you know all about this. I had no idea simple things could make or break you. I'm pretty sure other people didn't know about this either.

Rest In Peace mother.

wich one?

I have seen TONS of things on forums about SPL, but, i´ve never try them before with a before/after test because i didn´t have a termlab, i have scored a few good numbers on comps with burp machines before, but didn´t have the time and tools to test them myself, there tons of other things i´ve never heard i guess, if you can give some inputs would be great, i´ll be happy to try as many things guys post here as i can, but i need inputs to test them out :)
