OrionStang Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) So I got metered today. The numbers suck for the stuff I'm running. Legal sealed 139.8, on the dash driver window down 141.4, in the kick driver window down 141.8. All scores are on a 40hz tone, my car's peak. I have to find a way to get my trunk to close tighter, the flex is ridiculous. I'm thinking a lot more of the rubber weather stripping, or just stuffing towels around the edge before closing it. I also left my gains set clean for the runs, no bass boost, no extra gain. I should have turned the subsonic off though. Everyone there said it gets down for a single-12 setup in the trunk, it just doesn't meter well. Has to be the trunk letting all my pressure out.

THEKINGsBACK Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Weld the truck Shut...... No really though have you considered having it face in the car rear seat down and & just sealing off from the truck? Quote he wouldnt be the first to say they did a 167 with a system like that (one that clearly DOESNT), but i have to say, he didnt beat me anywhere, ive never competed against the guy. If he thinks his does a 167, mine would probably put him in a coma. :hairtrick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrionStang Posted May 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Obviously James, I know its not good, hence the title of the topic. What I need to do is trouble shoot. Would the sub up/port back setup cause some sort of cancellation in a small trunk? It sounds loud to the ear, so why the low score? Forward and sealed off would only be possible with some metal trimming, and I really don't want to cut the car.

AI James Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 i totally wouldnt fire the sub up whatsoever to "raise" numbers. Hows it configured at the moment. what box are you running and tuning and whatnot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94retta(219) Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 You could seal it forward but with 2-3inches between the box and the metal you didnt want to cut then make some trim peices to round out those edges. Get what im saying? Hah Quote BUILD LOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no substantial score increase from 32 to 35. Where did you meter at? Did they end up meeting today? Or was K1 not cancelled lol Few of us met up at a bowling alley in Chino.

OrionStang Posted May 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 i totally wouldnt fire the sub up whatsoever to "raise" numbers. Hows it configured at the moment. what box are you running and tuning and whatnot Right now its sub up/port back. Box is just over 2 cubes port tuned to 33ish. 36sq in of port. I got a design drawn up for sub/port back, same cubic feet but tuned to 35.5, but only 34.50 sq in of port. You could seal it forward but with 2-3inches between the box and the metal you didnt want to cut then make some trim peices to round out those edges. Get what im saying? Hah I know what you mean, might be able to work something. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
