Does your current box play lows??

If that answer is yes, then you have the wrong box for numbers.

Vortex theory... Lol

Any pressure loss to the rear is bad, putting deadner over a hole is not sealing it off.

If you open the trunk and gain, then its not sealed. Simple.

Fuggin vortex, :horseshit: theory.

43 sucks balls on 3k btw

New box

It plays lows but its louder on most of the higher notes. Ik to get better numbers i need a higher tuned box. but i dnt have the time to just build test boxes every day. this setup is for daily/competition. In local classes il do just fine with these numbers but i should at least be getting a 45-47 on this power. The guy who built it said it did a 47 in a crv on 2 1500s. btw i highly doubt there is "3k" going to the subs. I have stock electrical, the gain down, and who knows what kind of box rise. so for my first setup i dont think its too bad.

Who really care about numbers if you are happy with the sound? Im only doing 145's with 5 12's sub up port back. Some people think it could be louder but its tuned at 31Hz and I love if, so I'm NOT changing it :):drinks:

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

lol i live in manhattan and im currently building my box for my 3 10's so right now i have a single 12" mtx thunder 4000? i think in a sealed box running on 1200w amp and people look at me like i got 30 12's in the back

Current system:Front stage: Alpine type s 6.5No rear:Alpine type s 6.5headunit: alpineAmp: Jbl bp600.1

Sub: Alpine type x 12

dont know much about them. Found a "FLUX" Capacitor on ebay. If I add this to my system, can I really travel into the future? And how far into the future? That probably all depends on how I ground it though, right?

Dude dont even waste your money on capacitors get a second car battery preferably a kinetik or stinger or any other car audio battery use the battery that is correct for your systems true rms wattage do some research on the net for this. Go to kinetiks website they explain how to pick a battery from thier site that fits your system. :shrug:

whats the box specs?

i got 2 sa12s on a saz3500 and only doing a 146 (BUT thats not sealed off from the trunk yet, and its 35hz tuning cause i love them lows), had my old kicker cvxs do a 144.2

but when i was talking with jacob, he said that the sa-12s reach their peak SPL limits around 1kw rms.. anymore than that per sub wont really get louder
