Hey man, just by looking that broken roof brace is one thing that is probably hurting your score quite a bit. I've heard people losing as much as 2 db over a broken roof brace. Not to mention that you probably don't have a spare tire in the tire well either. The spare tire in the well helps to stiffen the weakness of the tire well alltogether. When you take it out that part of the car gets very weak and will hurt your score too.

Also you need to find the car's resonant frequency since you added the deadener to the vehicle. By adding deadener you will more than likely lower the car's freq and the best way to find it is to take a 10" or 12" sub and put it in a 1 cube sealed box and play a sweep to find out the loudest freq. The sealed box will have a flat response so it will show you which freq your car likes the best. Then I would rebuild the setup to peak around that particular frequency so you can maximize spl.

One of my Team High X-Cursion members has the same body style Civic and has 2 Alpine Type R 12's and a Power Acoustik something or another clamping 1780 watts and he's done a 146.4 on the dash sealed. He just sealed off the box from the trunk and the score has gone up, but we won't say what it is until after a show in a couple of weeks since there are rival competitors on here that would probably like to know.

If you need any help at all I'd be glad to give you any advice if your stuck on something, or just need a hand trying to figure something out. I see ton's of potential in your vehicle and I'd love to help you achieve whatever it is that you want.

Good luck, and I'm tuned in from now on!!!

you could do all thread or some wood on the roof with some 2x4 braces to the floor, just some ideas. i really like the box man that looks sweet, and that amp is HUGE. im tuned in

thats a different class then

[Sampsonite]

Ya, no thanks.. I don't want to play in the extreme classes

Quick update.. Rebuilt the box with the space I had to work with.....

went from:

144.6 @ 41hz legal

to

145.0 @ 38hz legal

Still need to deaden the whole car (other than roof obviously), add 45's to the box and port, Seal box off from trunk completely, Add another battery to the front, Do big 3..... ect. ect.

Not bad for 2 12's in a box tuned to 30 hz.

Sorry no pics, cuz its UGLY right now!
