_paralyzed_ Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 Numbers are stupid. You were happy with your system. Now you saw a number and because of that you're not happy with your system.If you are into competition than get your numbers up.If you are into audio bass on and be happy.

notorious97200 Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 Time for a new box, obviously. The number can increase a lot with a new box, or with a new box placement. Your system is not less loud now ! black BMW X1 2.0 l 192 hp OEM head unit, Amplifiers : Audison AP 8.9 amp with integrated DSP and Ampere Audio 1200. Focal ES 100 K in front doors, and Dayton RS 180 for midbass under the front seats. 2 SSA DEMONS 10" subs, in a 2.6 ft3 ported box. SecondSkin Damplifier on front doors, and Luxury Liner Pro for the cargo area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your system is not less loud now ! I know, i just spent a lot of time on this 6th order box, i knew i would still hit a lower number on the termlab but i was only 3db louder than this kid with a mofo 15.

Well if it makes you feel any better about it, 3 dB is twice as loud, even though it doesn't sound that way. What are the specs on your 6th order box, if you don't mind me asking?

Triticum Agricolam Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 5 cuft net front with 10x10 port 5in long, 2.5 net rear 4.75x 4.75 port 19 in long. Ok, so you are probably tuned to around 30 and 64 Hz, which are reasonable places to be. Both your ports would probably benefit from being larger. I know the trend for 6th order designs to make the rear port small, for reasons I don't understand, but your front port should definitely be bigger IMHO.
