breaking a 135........ im losing hope

[WadeTustian]

so ive had my mazda for just over 2 months now and my sound system for over a month. ive got 2 sa-10s in a 4th order tuned to 47 on an audison voce uno at 2 ohm. so roughly 1200 watts rms. for the life of me i cant get it over a 135. ive tried a new port and only gained a db from the origional port which is 133.

UPGRADE YOUR ELECTRICAL.... i'd suggest it's the box. try build a simple ported box for them

Something's wrong with your box. A single 10 on that power in a ported box should do mid 30s with ease. Box specs of said fourth order?

Box is huge fails

My stock Bose 12 in an infinite baffle on its stock Cadillac amplifier which is 80-100watts does about the same score on a termlab.

A Mazda what?

4th order isn't some magical paradigm to automatically get loud. I've got a simple skar Ivx 10 in my ram single cab on a 200rms kicker amp in a simple ported box that is doing 138 on the term lab in the 30hz range.

Its probably the box but I would check and make sure you don't have one of the sub's wired out of phase. I know that may sound dumb but I can't remember how many times I either wasn't paying attention and did this by mistake. It will fuck your SPL score right the fuck up. It has a huge impact on two wooferr setups and sometimes isn't as big of a deal in multi woofer systems. A woofer out of phase could easily cost you 10dB.
