Nikitaaa Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 So I did my first db drag and scored a 141.6 legal today with equipment in the sig (got first in my class). Afterwards, i got to thinking of ways I could boost my score, then i looked at my windows in the Subaru Outback and they're frameless.. Am I experiencing a large output loss? Any ways I could seal them up better?

Nikitaaa Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Maybe I can gorilla tape the part where the glass meets the inside of the car to contain the pressure?

HHR Ed Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 At the level of 140-150 dB, you will not see a difference or not much anyway with your frameless windows. Things like that dont matter until you get into the mid 150s and up. Best ways to get louder at that level is keep playing with enclosures and adding power.

I don't think they leak to much air, they just move a TON. I'll just stop worrying about it Quote 2007 M/T Honda Civic Coupe EX (4) Sundown Audio X-8's (2) Ampere Audio 3800.1's (3) Stinger SPV-44 Batteries (1) Mechman 240 3:1 Ratio 4th order sealed from the trunkTEAM NWSPLBest termlab scores to date in Honda trunk:151.7db legal (official) IASCA trunk 3 classBest termlab scores to date in my walled Subie:152.9db legal (unofficial) IASCA advanced 2 class155db outlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No E Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I'm doing a 158.7 in a Camaro with frameless Windows. I know I could gain if I modded it but Usaci won't let me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAD Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) Get a buddy or spectators to push on the windows, back windows definately, front may lose or gain depending on drivers or passenger side. Any gains would still be trivial compared to working on your box. I did notice front door skins flex a bit on these, maybe while they're pushing on the window, bracing the door skin with leg might gain a couple tenths?
