ISO Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Like I said I will leave this to the subwoofer guys. It might be time to get a beefier subwoofer. I did just see your already useing a ported box. Quote Isobaric - Refers to the practice of coupling two drivers together to make them act as one.

Torres Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 i also say rebuild and do it ported. you'll get more output that way. the output you get is mostly what's in the install. so you could get way over your expectations with a ported box, or you might be less satisfied. but imo it's worth a try and definitely the cheaper way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechSys Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Rebuild the box. It's all in the install. Take my system for example. 4 15s on a 6500d. I'm only doing 146.7 on music, 30second average. I should be in the 50s with this setup, but my box is not exactly right (and soon to be rebuilt). It takes more than just shoving a box in a vehicle, wiring it to an amp, to get loud on the meter. Research, built, test, tear down, rebuild, test, tear down, and so on until you get where you want. And 135.6 on music is not a bad score at all, especially if your trunk car is of a large version (caddy, etc..). My team mate is doing 138.1 with one 12 on 2kw, so you're right in there.
