Jextel Posted September 4, 2008 Report Posted September 4, 2008 i dont want to bash in any way but what is loud to you? Because i did my setup just like this and it wasnt as nearly loud the usual way of porting into the trunk.. also i bet if you turn that box around seal the sub box from trunk and then seal the rear deck it will be 2x louder..all you need a afew cans of expanding foam and some 3/4 mdf... http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3042878TEAM DEADLY HERTZ "GET LOUD OR DIE TRYIN"only the loudest will survive.
Bass4Lyfe Posted September 4, 2008 Author Report Posted September 4, 2008 no bash take n.... maybe i will meter it so you know what its around .... its fucking loud but of course, like any basshead i want it louder i know it would be louder sealing it off - its not that easy bro i'd have to build a new box (that one would stick way into the back seat) etc ..... maybe someday i will do that... ~Matthew 1998 Toyota Camry XLE V6 3L (1) ScyTek Astra 4000RS-2W-1 2-Way Remote Start Alarm with Shock and Proximity (1) 20% Tint All Around (Gately Audio) (1) 250 Amperage HO Alternator (1) Big 3 Done In 1/0 (2) Kinetik HC2400 Power Cell (1) Alpine IVA-D106 Receiver (1) Peripheral Video Bypass Device (4) Alpine SPS-17C2 Speakers (1) Alpine KCE-422i iPod Control Interface (4) Sheets Dynamat Extreme; for speakers (1) 10 Square Feet Hushmat (Trunk & Rear Deck) (4) DC Audio Level 4 15" D2 Subwoofer w/ Level 5 Coils (1) Wall Built By David, Tuned to 32 Hz (1) Rockford Fosgate T40001bd Amplifier (1) Stinger 1/0 Wiring (2 runs of + 2 runs of -) (1) Stinger Volt Meter
