Darksideofsound Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) ok, so my station wagon is really big, and when I metered last I hit a 144.6db legal on TL. (MAJOR box issues, thats why the low score) if I put my system in a small 2dr civic hatch(1991) would I hit better numbers just because I am trying to pressurize a smaller space? would the numbers change dramatically?

finkster Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 maybe....it all depends man...some cars meter well and some dont. a civic hatch should get loud though.

*1LOWSUV* Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 You just can't take a box out of a car that does a certain number and expect that by putting it in a smaller car it will be louder.....I've had boxes in my Burban that I've swapped out into the cab of my S10's extended cab and it sounded like ass... Gained maybe 1- 1/2db's but not the magic "jump" I was looking for by moving everything to a smaller space. My S10 likes to tuned alot higher then the Burban. Best bet would be to build a box that is tuned to your honda and then put the equipment you have in the Wagon and see what it does. : Quote [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Nemesis-DJ Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 If your going for "SPL" the civic will be the better choice ,it will peak a good bit higher than the wagon .Not saying you can't get loud in the wagon its just such a big cabin ,and peaks lower .

Cr@sh Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 I believe he has 2-solox's dual 2ohm(not sure what size) and a kicker 2500.1? So Im not sure your gunna see 150's unless you do a crx with area ports, you might see that with 91 civic hatch. It also depends on the build, like 1Low said you won't be able to just move it. I would rebuild it for the 91 but thats just me talking becuase I own 2 of them and love those cars. Quote My old install at cardomain, never finished!

I realize 150 is a hard number, and i dont think my 2600 watts will do it.... can u suggest a good amp that is about 4500-5000 wrms? money is not an option, i just dont think i want to run 2 seperate amps on 2 seperate subs....
