Digging the orange alt.

Does it match the stripe like your old intake cover did?

Its not a perfect match but its very close.

lower tuning is just hard. I was surprised how loud 145 sounds at 35hz, and how quiet 145 sounds at 50hz.

well today I decided to remove the panels and wrap the box in carpet so I could experiment with some different setups. While the box was out decided I would fire the subs in towards the seats. I hit a 145.xx on Music off the bat and its not even sealed up. If I open the trunk It hits 149.xx. How much better will it get if I were to actually seal it with something like blow foam

?

I do like the looks of this but It just doesn't get as low. EDIT: Im Sure I would hit higher numbers using tones and/or Music that Peaks around 49Hz. I just used the same song for comparison reasons...

I did some playing with my car this morning in the work parking lot. Im going to attempt to seal around the box, If I open my trunk it just pounds. If I understand this corectly, Its louder do to the fact that the canceling sound waves exit the trunk instaed of coming back in right? So If I seal it up it should sound the same or very similar to the trunk being opened??

That's my understanding. I used to have 2 10w1s and tried firing them forward, and I got the same result as you... got loud on anything above 45Hz but lost it's ass on anything lower. I used some "pool noodles" and some old comforters from the garage to seal around the box and it was like night and day. Actually the lows were better than firing towards the rear.

Well I manned up and sealed it off. LilTeddyP helped me get it done tonight, It was worth it. Its sounds better and louder than it was with the trunk open and it not being sealed. All I have to do is finish it up and make it pretty :)

Made good and sure it was completely sealed up.

Doesn't get quite as low but its VERY close BUT it has much more output across the board now.

I don't know why my thread never sees any attention, I guess there is no love for clean builds. If you have a busted ass van with 4 15's its hot though :/

My car used to peak around 49Hz and 43Hz so Im sure with a song that had higher notes or tones I could hit 150 :) I'll try it later. I don't really care about the numbers its about the lows and the output. This thing SLAMS now :)
