In my bandpass the low end response went through the roof after I completely sealed it off.

Hows that??!!

I don't see what you're asking. Do you want me to explain how my car smaller cabin area and acoustics effected the low end response in my vehicle?

N8ball2013 is correct you haven't sealed around the outside of the cabinet properly you will be losing the low notes, you have been advised to go bigger with the port area as well once you have done those things you should deffo be louder just by doing either one of them. i have built something just like that before in my Merc ml 7 seater with juggy 18s on 2k each and once it was sealed around the front cabin it was playing decaf and others no problem. i hope you get it all sorted looking good. build some trim panels to seal the front to the back were you have sprayed foam make a panel to hide it then its sealed off properly, some people call them beauty panels trust me it will make a big difference to how loud and low it plays.

When everyone says you need to seal it off, they mean make sure that no air can escape behind your wall. Right now air is moving BEHIND your wall, which isn't a good thing.

Foam, fiberglass, do whatever it takes to make sure that the front of the wall is completely sealed into the cabin.

I hate People with crappy primered cars rolling on hubcaps that are louder then me.

Okay sounds good, im going to foam all around and then put a layer of mdf over it for looks. Then once I lengthen the port I should be getting better results. Thanks!
