building a wall 2 18s HDC3 in my 1999 vw passat, I had it tinted, va tint law is 35% on the back and i had 20% that metered out at 14% I had to take it off becasue I was getting to many tickets. My question is, are walls illegal or legal, and if so is there anyway I can cover my windows legally without having to deal with the cops so much?

first post of the new build, out with the 12s in the trunk and in with the 18s walled, lookin to be fun and pics are coming soon

DOH!

terry subs up ports back?

yeah i figured u would like that ric:)

thor trunk is 40 deep by 40 wide by 20 tall, basically the only real reason i have trouble with boxes is the openings are too small to get them in, running 2 level 4 12's of powerbass 3k and two batts

thanks everyone for there kind words and advice, there will be a box change, and so nice to see thorshammer on hear

thanks everyone for your input and advice, im gonna try a few things and get back to everyone and yeah ric has horrible box rise in his truck

look up team pulse car audio ric thorton 2 15 dd in truck with sundown 3500 and excessive amperage alternator doing a 152.8 i beleive after box rise clamping a lil over 1000 watts i witnessed it today myself

i didnt say u did i just said dont, people always talk about them lol, u all good, this one is nasty i think i just need the right box

this is the older model the better modeal, will easily clamp that much, they are almost identical to the 4k. It was clamped by show judge who clamped everyone's car and yes it is accurate, dont bash powerbass amps, they are the best amps I ever used

yeah im gonna do testing this week on some new ideas, just wondering what everyone thought

i beleive the box leaky now anyway but yeah, its about 5 inches away now tuned to 38hz, i just feel it should be dowing more on that power, and i dont need a different car the loudest street trunk car on the east coast is my exact car lol the car isnt the problem trunk could fit 3 human bodies easily

the specs are in my post on thread

and yeah it was an suv, thanks for the support dudes 144 is my loudest yet but i was expecting more with that power, any box design ideas

i agree i just done beleive that it has to be my box

im upset with my power output vs the score,guy has 2 15s clamping at 1000 watts doing a 153, on 3300rms i should be doing a 148 out of the trunk easy

do it subs facing trunk, port facing trunk, its a side l port

just got back from show today, did a 144 in the kick and powerbass 3k clamped at 3300 rms at 1.8 ohms after rise, that blows my mind. The bo is a little bigger than 3 cubes at 38 hertz and that bastard only doing a 144. Have 2 level 4 12's, in a 1999 passat, huge trunk and lots of room to work with, the car does not like trunk walls, it likes subs back/up port bacl, I need help on ideal box for loud daily driver on that power thanks greg

thanks everyone for the replies...my box tuning was kinda high so im gonna do some adjustments tomorrow let everyone know how it sounds and yes a trunk wall is everything completely sealed off with the subs firing into the cabin and even if the subs peak at a higher frequency the lows should be playing well

subsonic is all the way down, and the lpf is around 80 or so, is it due to a trunk wall?

box is 36 inches wide, 16 inches tall, and 17 inches deep, and the port is 3 inhes wide and is an l port, total length of 25 inches

got 2 dc audio level 4 12's in a 1999 vw passat trunk wall off a powerbass 3k and for some reason I dont get the lows well at all, however anything in the 40hz range I smash the hell out of, and I used the torres box calculator for my tuning but it still doesnt seem right and ideas?

got some dc level 4 12's in a trunk ran off a powerbass 3k and those bastards are straight hittin, but it has been cold recently on the east coast and for some reason it has taken quite a while for them to movw well and get warm and I have a suspicion my amp doesnt like the cold, has anyone experienced this with subs?

14.5 inches tall, thats the port height inside the box, the box height itself is 16
