Looks like my baseline out of the gate is 157.78 at 43hz, also does a 154.6 at 30hz. (outlaw scores) This score should increase once I get the wall completely sealed and braced up. The roof is flapping like crazy so bracing needs to happen there also. But I am happy so far considering I'm on the stock alternator and subs arent broken in yet. The peak should drop a few hz over time and be right where I want it I think.

My head unit is acting up and taking forever to load songs and sometimes goes into a error 19 code. I am about sick of the 80prs issues as this is my 3rd deck.

here is a example

If you're gonna do park and pound then I'd look to getting a burp deck anyways cause at world finals the rules state cd only. Cd won't play in your truck above like low 50's im sure.

These 80prs' are just hit or miss. I'm on my second one because of a "no device issue" all the time from rattling out the USB. Fixed that with a zip tie, but I'm not sure if it'll last forever.

Well had fun at a small Meca event yesterday and the numbers are coming along and should be to my goals soon. Did a 154.5 @ 33hz at the headrest, The peak dropped from 43hz to 33hz just by sealing the wall off. I still have things to do inside the truck to bring the numbers up and also when the second amp goes in it should really get down. But for now I am happy as its doing a 58 or so in the kick. The goal is a 160 below 40hz in the kick and a 155 at the headrest on the one amp. This truck is built to sound good and I know I could get much louder numbers with a smoothed out drivers side port, more port are etc etc but this thing is flat brutal right now. Its hard to explain as the last build would do a 58.7 in the kick but this new truck is much more violent and hurts more. Considering I am on the stock alternator to and voltage is in the low to mid 12 will full tilt it has room for improvement. I love this Ampere amp, thing is a beast. Cant imagine 2 of them.

I will get video up soon, I still need to make it look good and do my front stage, one component set is usless with 4 18's

Here are some updated pics showing all the ugly, lol. I will do nice panels and make this look good but for now you see where it sits.

Here is the inside, wall sealed off before she gets her makeover.

Sorry for the dirty pics, but you get the idea. I love having the amp here because my rear ac vents blow directly on it.

From a truck, to a minivan, back to a truck. Build looks sick man.

Still having issues with the HU? I went another direction, got a Kenwood Excelon KDC-X997 as I've always stuck to Kenwood and it seamed to have the goods (13 band manual eq, crossovers, digital time alignment, 6 4V preouts, ect.) Kinda glad I passed on the 80PRS now.
