I need some tips to get louder!!! 144.9 aint cutting it


Recommended Posts

with my old box and pair of 12" sx's it was louder and better sounding to the ear when the subs pointed back but that defies phsyics.

any ways i dont care about that anymore but i have a werid occurqance that happened to me today.

on of my subs cam disconnected so i was bumpingth eone with 2500 rms with not bottoming out or anything. hooked up both again and then i tried to send them 2k each and they sound like poop. they sound like there bottoming out but not even moving half as much as the single 12 on 2500 rms.

i see yall looking

thanks for the tips guys im just goling to doa few tweaks of my own and ill let you know if i gain next month.

1)Im going to add 45's in the corners

2) 45 in the port bend

3) line the walls with poly fill

4) completely seal the subs to the cabin

5) essentially flush mount the woofers, when the beauty panel is in and the subs are pushed up tight to it they will be completely sealed and flush mounted.

i can put the ports to the outsides of the car instead of the center if it will help me gain?

Here is a mistake I make every time, I do a bunch of stuff at once like you have listed then go meter.

The best way is do one thing then test. Do another then test. You get the idea. Some things might not work and actually hurts your score. But you will never know if you do it in bunches.

i almost bought 3 10's then was told the alphas would be louder lol. i dont really care i guess i dont even go to that many comps i just want to be able to say my system does 148's and i want to be heard from a mile away.

Then do what I told you to, and quit saying that it's not possible or you don't want it to be permenant. If there is a will there is a way and a week with your car and I'll have it over a 148 with the equiptment that you have.
